Fourth of July: Sinful Colors Star Blast Off

Welcome back!

This is a super late post, but I've been out of the country for a week, and never had the chance to post these while I was gone!

I did these after the fourth, but they're so simple, you could do them any time, really! I've done this same idea for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and Cinco de Mayo.


Skin Tone: Essie Brides To Be
White: Nicole by OPI Yoga-Then-Yogurt
Glitter: Sinful Colors Star Blast Off

Fourth of July: Fireworks

I love the Fourth of July. I especially love the fireworks! This year, I got to be up close to them, because my boyfriend is afirefighter and they have to stay close to be ready in case they're needed. I had these special nails!

I really loved how amazing these turned out! I usually don't say much good about my nails, but these were good and they were so easy to do!

Mani By Annie: Fourth of July: Dots and Stripes

Welcome back!

Today, I painted one of my friends nails for the Fourth of July! Here's what I did.


Red: Sinful Shine Mirror Mirror
White: Essie Urban Jungle
Blue: Essie Style Cartel
Silver: Essie No Place Like Chrome
Glitter: Essie Set In Stone

For the stripe nails, I painted white, then used super skinny straight Nail Vinyls. I used a dotting tool for the polka dots, and then tape that I cut out in the shape of a heart to make the silver accent nail. It's hard to see the heart, but it's there. <3

Fourth of July: Dotted American Flag

Welcome back!

Today I finally have some Fourth of July nails for you! These are inspired by the flag, but I did dots instead of stars!


Red: Sally Hansen Patent Gloss Moto
White: Pop•arazzi Icing on the Cake
Blue: Sinful Colors Blue Persuassion
Silver Glitter: Sephora by OPI Flurry Up!

The blue polish was textured, and I used Nail Vinyls to make the stripes. The silver was done using the glitter sponging method.

Memorial Day: Chevron Flag

Welcome back!

Today I did some nails for Memorial Day! I love doing patriotic nails, and starting now, that'll be the majority of the nails I do until the end of the summer.

Red: OPI What's Your Point-setta?
White: Essie Private Weekend
Blue: Wet 'n Wild Megalast Coast to Coast
Silver: Glam Chick (no name)
Stars: Sinful Colors Star Blast Off



For the star nails, I simply painted them blue, and then fished for the star glitter in Star Blast Off and placed them where I wanted.

The chevron nails were painted white first, then top coated with HK Girl fast drying top coat. Once it dried, I placed mini chevron vinyls on it, painted it red, and took the vinyls off immediately.

To get the silver glitter opaque, I sponged it on. I used Glisten & Glow CTRL-ALT-DEL as a barrier for easier clean up.
