Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing
on this fine Thursday? I hope you've been having a great week. I've been busy with lots of nail art but if I am honest I'm getting a lot of epic nail fails right too - I'm still using the antibiotic eye cream and while I feel like I've got some really unique idea's up my sleeve I can not see clearly enough to do the tiny detail it requires! Still. I'm doing my best to keep the nail art coming :)
Since Monday is the 4th
July, even though I do not celebrate I thought I'd do some
appropriate nail art - and I really liked the outcome! Had I been more organized I would have loved to have
done several more manicures for you guys with step by step guides...
I am really going to try an start doing more stuff like this for
upcoming holidays, I think it would be fun!
So rather than having
my 4th July nails on the blog on Monday when those of you
who are celebrating are all off partying we'll see them now - it also means if you want to try anything from my design you've got time to play around!

| I don't know about you but I'm all for the matte version over the glossy. |
As always I began with
my usual base coat, OPI's 'Nail Envy' and once dry began applying
blue, red and white polishes to my nails. The blue is Maybelline's
'Oceanic Blue', the red is 'Alluring Red' by Catrice and the white is
NYC's 'Williamsburg Vintage'. For my thumb and ring finger I decided
to try and create a one-stroke like swirl using blue and light blue
acrylic paint. I added some freehand stars on top with white acrylic.
For my Index and pinky I mixed different shades of red to create some
really rough lines across my nail to give a slightly textured look. I
added a small ruffian and a single white star to each nail. My middle
finger is just a good ol' dotticure using the same red and blues, I
think this nail really adds a little fun to the whole manicure. Finally to finish off I then applied my Wet 'N' Wild's matte top coat.
I really liked wearing
this manicure, its not often I find myself wearing blue and red
together but I rather like how I paired these together!
If you
celebrate July 4th do you match your nail art for the
occasion? What do you think of these nails?
Have a beautiful day!
I'll catch you again on Saturday!
Love
Ithi
It's like a space mani with an American touch!
