Summer Challenge Day 41 - Olympic Opening Ceremony / Flag

Hi there!

I finally had a little more time for some detailed nail art. I chose the flags according to the nations that have the all-time medal standings. First it's United States, then USSR, Great Britain and Germany. I've seen many manicures with the Union Jack and I finally got to try it as well. I love it!

Summer Challenge Day 27 - Independence Day

Hi there!

There are so many options when it comes to nail art for Independence Day. When I first got my stamping plates, my son and I were excited to see the stars and stripes and we had so many ideas. But when it was time to do the challenge, I was drawing a blank not knowing which one I wanted to do. In the end I decided to go with the look of the American flag.

The stripes didn't cover my whole nail so I decided to add some fireworks to cover up the missing stripes. I'm sure the fireworks could have been better, but I had a little trouble keeping my hand steady with my 4yo son playing next to me.

The blue base under the stars is an L.A. Colors polish. The red base under the stripes is Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Rapid Red.  I stamped the stars and stripes using Sally Hansen Extreme Wear White On and used Cheeky plate CH4.

Have a blessed day! =)
