Independance Day Nails

Okay, so I know this is late in coming, but I wanted to post my 4th of July nails before I got any farther behind. For this look, I confess I was actually a little bored and wanted to just throw some different things together and see what happened.

My base color is OPI 'The Show Must Go On!'. I bought this color on a whim, and I actually really love it. It's a red duochrome that flashes a coppery-orange. My pictures do this color no justice, but you can catch a glimpse of the duochrome in the bottle in the first pic. I applied two coats of the OPI, and then stamped my ring finger with Kleancolor White and Metallic Sapphire using my MASH stamping plate #49. I really loved the outcome, and considered stamping all of my nails the same, but I was afraid it would be a little too much. So I moved on to my next idea. I added the little white stars to the base of my other nails. This was pretty but needed something. For my last step, I used a dotting tool to dot some nail glue down the sides of my nails and applied a sparkly blue nail foil called Caribbean Tides, purchased from DollarNailArt.com. I finished it off with a coat of Wet n Wild clear polish (to avoid wrinkling the foil), and, when that had dried, a coat of Seche Vite. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the way this turned out.
So now that I have my 4th of July nails posted, I don't feel quite as much like a slacker! I hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th!

Until next time,
Peace&Polish!
