Until then, here's my fourth of july manicure. :) I used a bunch of favorites to create this one: two coats of Essie Jelly Apple for my base, a striper to create the, uh, stripes, and dragged my favorite blue, Nfu-Oh 119, to create the blue bit. Then I attempted to splatter with a striper; it didn't work. I still like it, though!
Here it is in shade.
Further off, shade and sun. :)
My manicure is inspired off of the CND Lookbook, which has myriads of different, beautiful designs. I highly recommend looking through it! And have a wonderful, sparkly, bbq-y Fourth of July! :)

I love this mani! When, I say love here, I really mean LOVE! It's like a cross between Jackson Pollock and Jasper Johns.

ReplyDeleteKarina: . . . wow, that was just about the coolest thing anybody has ever said to me ever. :) I really like it too, but CND deserves all the praise here. Thanks! You've made my day. :)

Oh, I really love how this came out - it's so cool! Happy 4th - and I miss your posts and your exquisite manicures!
ReplyDeleteBrooke: thanks! Again, though, I probably shouldn't take the credit for it. :)
ReplyDeleteyardsticks 4 lunatics: It kind of does, doesn't it? I want to try something vaguely impressionist, now that I know that I can! Or maybe simply Van Gogh-an. It needs more yellow to be fireworks-y, though; I kind of just wanted the blue and the stars to melt down the stripes, a little.
nicole: happy fourth, sweetie~ I'll try to put up scheduled posts for the rest of this week, at the least!
