And what better day to resume blogging than good ole' Independence Day? A *huge* nail art day. My design is very unoriginal and super sloppy but I slapped it on in about ten minutes over an old mani (actually I had flower petals on my nails over a white base and just pulled the petals off-you'll see them later, promise).
Without further ado, here are my stripes and.. well mostly stripes. I haven't accumulated any star shaped glitters even though it's pretty high on my "to-do" list of polishes. But I've seen a few people use China Glaze's Ruby Slippers (I think that's what it's called? I know the "Ruby" part anyhow) and I have been DYING to get it. I saw it at a Sally's like a year ago and regret not buying it, I don't know why I didn't. Oh, I said "without further ado" like a paragraph ago, didn't I? Well, for real now:
These pictures are a bit huge, sorry, I uploaded them directly from my phone. It has a better resolution than my camera, how.. sad, really. My dear camera is quite old though. I made myself a homemade lightbox and it looks like crap but you know, gets the job done. Only problem is my lamp has a really warm toned yellow light. NOT WHAT I NEEDED. But you know, I only just kinda found it in the garage and it's all I got, so you gotta do what you gotta do. Lightbox pics will probably be pretty sporadic though. I'll explain later, who even cares.
Like I said, they are very messy, but I did them really quickly, alright? I like the overall design anyways.
Colors Used:
- Sally Hansen Insta-Dri (it's the white, but my bottle doesn't have a name sticker)
- Sinful Colors- Gogo Girl
- Love & Beauty by Forever 21- Blue (yes, that's really the name. "Blue" wow yea real creative there, 421)
