Independence Day!

Here's my mani for today's holiday! I used to have a t-shirt from Old Navy with a glitter American flag on it, so I used that for my inspiration.

The blue is China Glaze Dorothy Who, the red is Barry M Red Glitter and the stamping is Cheeky plate CH 4 with Pure Ice Silver Mercedes. 

This stamp and polish combination worked so well! I didn't even have to start over on any nails!

Every time I look at my nails I get Stars and Stripes forever stuck in my head haha.

Also I keep wiggling my fingertips to make it look like it's waving in the wind. It entertains me to no end.

Now I'm off to help work a fireworks stand and then go see Magic Mike! Have a happy (and safe!) Independence Day!

Teal Tuesday: Stars

Today's Teal Tuesday theme is stars!!!!! Since I love love love stars, I was super excited :) Yesterday, I found this gorgeous metallic polish at Forever 21. I couldn't decide if it was teal or not, but the label says it is, so I used it! :) This is one coat! I'm gonna have to test it out for stamping.

Then I added on some nail stickers I got in my Spring Surprise. Blue and silver just make me happy together. And I think the stars just look magical in this mani :)

Adventures in Stamping: Plate Ending in 5

This weeks Adventure in Stamping challenge is any plate ending in 5. I chose Cheeky plate CH5. There were stars on this plate so there was no way I could resist it! 

I started with a base of 17 Fury. This polish covered in 1 coat! Then I stamped over it with W7 Purple Paradise.

I love this color combination! In the light I was working in, Fury looked more gold. With the stars, it really reminds me of Harry Potter for some reason. Anything that reminds me of Harry Potter makes me really happy :)
