The Polish Diary

Here is my second mani I did for the weekend. I used Love My Nails Seductive Red as the base of all my nails. For the flag i used China Glaze Frostbite and Sinful Colors Bad Chick-White Nail Art. I loved how these turned out. For the stars in the blue I used a toothpick for smaller dots. I have got quite a lot of compliments on it so far. Hope you all have a great July 4th!

Happy 4th everyone I hope you are having a fabulous weekend! I was inspired by my Flickr Nails Tuesday post this past week to do a drippy mani. I fell in love with the look when I first saw it and had to do it. From looking online I found that people had used dotting tools. I do not own any tools for that purpose so I had to McGyver it. I found two pens that had rounded ends and away I went. I used Wet n Wild French White Creme for my base and used Love My Nails Seductive Red and Sinful Colors Midnight Blue. Wanted to give you a quick shot of the pens I used. I loved how it turned out. Have any of you tried this?

With July 4th one week away I have been wondering what to do with my nails for the 4th. Where I live July 4th is a pretty big deal. I live in a tourist town, work at a tourist trap, and show my nails all day long and like them to be neat! This is one idea I tried the other night. I used China Glaze Ruby Pumps layered over Love My Nails Seductive Red to make them opaque. For my marble nail I used China Glaze Ruby Pumps, Wet n Wild White Creme, and China Glaze Frostbite. The water marble turned out pretty cool but the Ruby Pumps layered over the white made it to pink.
