Hooray and Happy Birthday, United States!!! How are you going to spend the US's 235th birthday?
I'm going to show you my July 4th manicure with 10 different looks. I couldn't land on just one so I went crazy. I made some winners and losers. However, it was a lot of fun to do these.
First, let me show you the polishes I used...
Here are the 'stars'...Nubar's 'Hologram Glitter' and Kleancolor's 'Silver Star.'
Avon's 'Rich Red' (which is a blood red, not an orange-red) and Color Club's Frosty Blue that has no name. Even with the vast array of polishes that I own, I didn't have one medium blue creme polish. So, the blue here is frosty.
OPI's 'Red Shatter', Sally Hansen's 'Distressed Denim', and China Glaze's 'Lightning Bolt.'
Here, I have a Color Club white creme and one from Sally Hansen. I tried both to see which I preferred. Color Club won as it wasn't as streaky as SH. Plus, that SH is years old.
Mix them all up...
I won't go through and tell you about each design. I'll let the photos do the talking.
And, this is my right hand...
I did use an irridescent glitter from Color Club on some of these nails. I just didn't get a photo of it separately.
I think my favorite one is my left-hand pinky. I feel very patriotic, seriously.
Did you do an Independence Day manicure?

Look at all those! I like them all, but I like the one with the stars the best. I'm on 4th of July mani #3. LOL This one is a splatter. :)
So fun! Will you come to Oregon and do my nails?! Please! I really like the left hand the best. The thumb and middle finger are my faves! Great festive mani!
EEP! SO cute :) I especially love the little stars
@Carrie I come up with good ideas, but I really suck at executing them. I decided no one that I care about is grading me; I'd go for it. :)
@Megan I love yours. Now I'm on the lookout for your other ones too.
@Peach You bet! I have never been to Oregon. But if you can get to Orlando, I'd paint your nails. ;D
@Vintage Those little stars are cute, but they have GAS!!! (polish stinks!!!) Thank you!!!
Woo hoo! It is like fireworks, flags and a band, all at once. I love it. :D
I haven't done my Fourth mani, yet. I will most likely do it on Sunday. :D
There is a lot going on here . But each nail individually is pretty good .
Looks a lot of fun!
Holy cow how awesome! Talk about patriotic :) Love the pinkie you mentioned as well. It looks really cool! Happy Fourth!
@Ice Queen I read that you have been uber busy so far this weekend. Thanks for stopping by, sweets!
@Toyomi My nails are the only thing about me that says 'busy.' ;P
@Hadia It was fun, even if a VBS kid could do better. ;)
@Judy Happy Fourth to you too. My attempts today were terrible though.
i looooooooove your nails! Extremely cool! :D
Wow! gorgeous!
My favorite has to be the left middle finger.
