4th of July Nail Art

Hey guys! Happy 4th of July! I hope my American readers all get to see some fireworks and spend time with their friends and family today! I have some 4th of July nails of the day to share with you.

I started off with three coats of KBShimmer Pimp My Pride on my thumb, middle and ring fingers. I used two coats of Zoya Sookie on my index finger and two coats of Sinful Colors Endless Blue on my pinkie. Then I used my Kiss striper in white to make stripes on my index and I stamped the stars (really poorly, I might add) with Konad Plate M-3 and the polish from the white Kiss striper. This was a really easy design that only took about 20 minutes to do!




Cheers!

KBShimmer Swatches

Hey everyone! Happy 4th of July! I'll post some Independence Day nail art later :) Today I have some polishes from KBShimmer! Can I just say that it is my goal to own every single KBShimmer polish ever? They are all so amazing! I always get so excited when I place an order for KBShimmer polishes, I literally wait by the door for the post man!

First up is The Dancing Green, a gorgeous green jelly with a bunch of different glitters. There's lime green micro glitters, green, pink, purple and blue hexes of different sizes, lime green and pink circle glitters and large pink squares. I had to fish a little bit for the square glitters, but I managed to get at least one on each nail. The formula was great - I used three coats for the photos below.



Totally Tubular has an aqua crelly base with pink mini bars, blue and pink holographic micro glitters, light blue, dark blue and pink hexes, light blue and pink circle glitters and large, pink circle glitters. Again, I had to fish a little bit for the large circle glitters. The formula was great. This one was almost a two-coater but I added a third coat to cover a few patchy areas.


Next is my personal favorite, Oh Splat! It's a milky white base with red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple hex glitters of different sizes. I didn't have to fish at all for any of the large glitters for this one! The formula was perfect as usual! Three coats for the photos below.



Next up is Squared Away, a glitter topper in a clear base. As the name suggests, there are all different sizes and colors of square glitters in this polish: blue, pink, silver and holographic, large to micro! I had a hard time capturing the sparkly goodness of this glitter. The glitter payoff was great - I used one coat over OPI My Boyfriend Scales walls in the pictures below. I need to take more pictures of this baby in the sun, but it's been conspicuously absent the past couple of days.



Finally we have Pimp My Pride! This polish has a milky white base with blue and red hexes and bar glitters. What can I say? Perfect polish for the 4th of July! 'Murica!! Formula was perfect again, three coats for the photos below.



All of these KBShimmer polishes are fabulous! You can buy them from the KBShimmer website.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sinful Colors Endless Blue

Hey guys! Today I have a really simple post for you. So, Sinful Colors may be a drugstore brand, but it's one of my absolute favorites! They have an amazing range of colors and glitters, great formulas and they are only $2 a bottle - sometimes $1 on sale!

This is Sinful Colors Endless Blue. I've heard a lot about this polish all over Instagram, so I snatched it up when I saw it at Target. And let me tell you, I'm so glad I did (I mean, for $2, how could I not?)! The name is absolutely perfect for this polish. The formula was flawless - it basically applied itself. This is two coats with no top coat.


Look how shiny it is!!


Here a picture of my kitty, Finn! This is his first appearance on my blog. He thinks Endless Blue looks fabulous with his orange fur! ^_^


Thanks for stopping by!
