Happy Birthday America

The most interesting modules of my degree are the American ones. I totally love how interesting the history of the States is.

Jumping on the band wagon I present my 4th July mani. After applying base I striped up my nails with tape and used a red nail art pen which I gave a coat of red glitter (doesn't show up too well sadly). Once dry I removed the tape and filled in with white. The blue is Wet n Wild Denim Chrome ( I think I'm addicted!) and the stars I drew with a nail art pen. Not bad for a first attempt. Once dry I topped with a generous coat of Collection 2000 top coat.

So what d'ya think? I think with more practice the lines would be more crisp and defined. I definitely need to work on even spacing!

Happy 4th of July, enjoy and stay safe.

Disaster *sigh*

I thought about not posting these. I've seen chevron designs everywhere and in the nail guide pack that I got were some Chevron tips and being a smartarse l decided to place one on some tape to make my own.

Using xplode orange and denim chrome I painted above and below the tape. The disaster was that I hadn't thought about the width of the tape. So I just filled in some more denim and finished with spots using my nail art pen.

The denim chrome is a bit difficult to clean AS it stains quickly. Thank goodness l wear base or it'll be much worse.

In fairness with more patience this could be good. Maybe I'll give it another go at the weekend with a bit more planning.
