Nail Challenge Week 24: Flag Nails

Ladies and Gentlemen of the USA ~ Happy Flag Day!!!! In honor of today's day (Thank you, Betsy Ross for designing an awesome flag), I have American Flags on my nails! This actually wasn't my first time doing flag nails... last 4th of July I attempted them as well.
Insert Star-Spangled Banner music here.... lol


So, how did they get to that point? Well, after OPI Base Coat, I did two coats of Sinful Colors GoGo Girl (still my favorite red polish to date).
Once it dried, I used CoverGirl Blue You (which, p.s. I got for $.25 at a yard sale;) to do the top corners over the red. I used two coats of this also to make sure the red was completely covered.
Even the colors just like this look pretty fun;) But after MORE dry time, then it was time to do the stars and stripes! I used my Sally Hansen Nail Art pen in Pearly White (it's too bad I accidentally picked that one up a couple months ago. I think plain white would've had more dramatic lines)
And finally! I used my Migi Nail art pens (yay!) I couldn't draw whole stars, so I just made dots (which honestly, if you're looking at a flag in the distance, don't they kinda look like dots??;)
There you have it! Hope you have a simply amazing flag day!! Even if you aren't an American;) What other flags would be fun to put on your nails? Canadian? Australian? Italian? :)

NOTD: Pretty in Pink

Today is just a quick post to show what I'm wearing on my nails right now!
As usual, I started with OPI base coat. Then I used two coats of Essie Fiji (one of my all time favorite pinks! It's just a soft feminine baby pink). Over that, I used two coats of Sinful Colors Glass Pink (which by itself hardly shows up, it's just so light. But over colors the shimmer really shows through!) Then I used CoverGirl Boundless Color City Lights just at the tips to add another dimension of colored sparkle. Finished with a coat of Seche Vite dry fast top coat and Voila!

The pictures honestly don't do it justice. They are waaaay more sparkly, shimmery, shiny in real life! I'm really happy with them:) However, with so many coats of polish, I'm sure they'll probably be chipping in no time, but for now my nails are pretty in pink!!:)
