#ManiMonday: Stars & Stripes

On today's edition of #ManiMonday Im doing a Stars & Stripes edition. I actually took some care of the tips since I need the design to last all the way through the weekend. 

Undies: Orly Base Coat
Top Coat: Seche Vite Quick Dry Top Coat

I did 3 different colors this week. On all tips except my ring finger is a gorgeous sparkley - but not glittery - blue from the wonderful Butter London (Scallywag it is surely named). I did 3 coats of this polish... Not because 2 coats didn't work just fine but I had to do 3 coats of my accent color that I thought why not?

To accent it off, I put (as mentioned above) 3 coats of Revlon Colorstay in Calla Lilly. It's not a true white, but more of an eggshell with slight gold sheen.  The coating of this is actually pretty bad considering its in the Colorstay line. This would be better off as a thin (suuuuuuuper thin) coat to add a nice hint of iridescence- otherwise you're going to put multiple coats on to get an opaque color. 

Now, to celebrate Amaricas independence, I took Nailtinis Bloody Mary & drew a little star in the center of my ring finger. Let's just say, be glad I photographed my left hand... My right is a giant blob of a star; no where near cute or dainty. Haha

With 4th of July around the corner, what's on your tips?

A HoHoHo-Holiday Mani ♡

Hi everyone!

I am so sorry things have been on the slow end. I've been sick & the holidays have been keeping me busy. BUT! I did manage to do a cute Santa inspired mani using my new Butter London polishes sent to me by Shelby of (not) Making it Up.


The red is Butter London's "Pillar Box Red" & the buckle is "West End Wonderland". The "belt" is Wet'n'Wild's "Black Creme". I'm sorry it's blurry. I'm not sure what is going on with my stupid camera. Here's hoping I can get a new one at tax time. (:
