NOTD: God Bless America!

Happy almost Fourth of July everybody!! I decided to go with a patriotic "skittles" type manicure in celebration of Independence Day this year! I hope you all enjoy my festive nails and have fun and safe holiday celebrations tomorrow! :)

Left Hand Break-down:

Thumb: I started with ULTA Red Carpet Red and painted the stripes with OPI Alpine Snow. The blue part of the flag is Essie Mesmerized, with dots made with a white nail art pen.

Index: I started with Essie Aruba Blue then stamped the star pattern from the BM20 stamping disc with Konad white stamping polish.

Middle: I started with a base coat of OPI Alpine Snow, then marbled using that polish along with Essie Mesmerized, NOX Twilight Red Velvet and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Celeb City.

Ring: I started with Orly Ruby Passion and layered that with OPI Blue Shatter, then added some silver star rhinestones.

Pinkie: I started with OPI Alpine Snow, then added blue and red dots with blue nail art pens and ULTA Red Carpet Red.

Right Hand Break-down:

Thumb: Shout out to my sister on this one for the brilliant idea to do fireworks! I started with OPI Alpine Snow, and stamped the fireworks from BM02 with ULTA Red Carpet Red and ULTA Blue Streak.

Index: This one is the same as the water marbling on my left middle finger described above.

Middle: This one started with Essie Mesmerized and layered that with OPI Silver Shatter, then added some red star rhinestones.

Ring: This one did not come out exactly as planned haha but I started with OPI Simmer & Shimmer then stamped a swirly star pattern from the BM21 stamping disc with the Konad white stamping polish.

Pinkie: I started with Orly Ruby Passion, then layered with Santee Ocean Blue Goitter.

That's it! :)
