Star Spangled

Happy 4th Y'all. Although a day late =) This design was created for Designernailvideo's nail art contest. The theme of course was 4th of July. I really went all out for this design because I really want to win this contest!!! Check out her channel and online store, she has some very great products.

For this design I used red white and blue glitter acrylic to create a different flag inspired design on each finger. On the thumb I only used red white and blue small round hexagon and shred glitter. To decorate the nails I used red & white hollow and tiny stars and red white & blue star rhinestones. I didn't post pictures of the products because I will be posting a haul with pictures this week that has most of the items I used.

Hope y'all love it!

Just a little off season

 

Hey Y'alll! I've just finished a new design I created for another contest entry. The theme for this entry is Holidays in general. Contestants are able to pick the holiday of their choice to create a design for. That's really great because just the other day while in Walmart shopping for supplies in anticipation of the recent blizzard I found this really cool glitter polish by Love My Nails. Being that it was only .99 I HAD to get it along with a couple other glitters that I will be using in future tutorials.

Unfortunately the polish is a bit hard to use as it is actual confetti and the slivers curl up so you have to put LOT of clear over. Another thing I didn't really care for was the fact that the silver stars don't come out on the brush. I had to dig around in it with a tooth pick for them. So I'll only be using that for 4th of July. But the finished look is quite awesome.

I'll be uploading the tutorial for this design in the next day or two. I want to say tomorrow but I want to make sure I keep my word in regards to my posts. On that note...I intended on making a full hand tutorial for the Frosty French design but had a memory mishap and I was only able to do it for the index finger. That will be uploaded shortly. Sorry for that. I do work a full time job that mentally wears me out so at times I get a bit loopy. =) Bear with me.
