4th of July Nails

4th of July Nails!

Nothing shows patriotic spirit like red, blue and sparkles!

Here are the polishes used:
Don't mind my cat Blackie in the background :)


Products used L to R:
Nutra Nail Bullet Proof Strength Formula

China Glaze 634 Frost Bite
Milani One Coat Glitter 550 Twinkle

OPI Ali's Big Break
Milani One Coat Glitter 521 Red Sparkle

Nutra Nail High Gloss Top Coat


I put one coat of the Nutra Nail Bullet Proof Strength Polish Formula on each nail.  I then used the solid color polish and did 1-2 coats on each nail, 2 coats of the sparkle polishes topped with 1 coat of the Nutra Nail Highlight Gloss. and BAM! Nails are ready for the 4th!! 
*The Nutra Nail Highlight Gloss tends to take FOREVER to be fully dry.  However, I have noticed when I sit outside in the hot summer air with wet nails, it is drying MUCH faster, FYI. 


You can see how beautiful the Milani Twinkle is up close!  It has purple and blue sparkles in it which is perfect for topping off any purple or blue polish.  The Milani polishes are about $5 at CVS and sometimes you can catch them on sale or buy one, get one half price.


The Red Sparkle is just as beautiful, as it has red and gold glitter.  This color is perfect for Valentine's Day, 4th of July, Christmas or any occassion you feel like adding some bling to your look.


Hope this gave you some fun nail ideas, have a safe and Happy 4th of July, thanks for reading, XOXO!!
