Stars and Stripes - 4th of July Manicure

Press Sample Purchased by Me
 
Today I have my 4th of July Nails. I had a short amount of time, so I needed simple and fast. I currently have house guests staying with me since last week, and they will be staying until next week, so I couldn't do anything too time consuming. At lot of us have busy schedules around this time of year, so if you are looking for something fast...this is the perfect manicure.


I started with Zoya Polishes:
 (Left to Right: Chyna (Pixie Dust), Purity, and Liberty (Pixie Dust).


I then topped it off with one of my top favorite Indie Polishes - Rainbow Polish -Shooting Star.


This is a fund raising polish where 50% of the proceeds are donated to various charities. It is still available on ETSY and retails for $10 USD - click HERE for details.


I usually use tape to do strips, but for this one I just free-handed it. I figured it would be tough to get smooth lines with the Pixie Dust Texture. I never free handed lines before, so for my first try - not too bad.


I love the silver stars and bars in Shooting Star. It's the perfect topper for a 4th a July themed polish. I ended up loving the effects over the Zoya Pixie Dust, the sparkle is off the chain (lol).

I hope everyone has a SAFE and Happy Fourth of July.
