Hello my friends! I’m so excited for the 4th of July! We’re having a fun BBQ at our house so I’m a busy little bee planning the deets! This year I decided to spice things up a wee bit by giving myself a fun mani for the 4th of July! So here’s a little glimpse of my 4th of July Manicure..
I ordered some fun nail decals from one of my fave Etsy shops Longchanged. It was a custom order (no additional charge–holla!) The best part is that these decals only cost $5 for the set of 10! Seriously that’s like chump-change!
I decided to just use the thumb decal for this manicure, and I painted the rest of my nails hot pink with fun white tips! Why not red, you ask (I read your mind}? Honestly, I have yet to find a shade of red that works with my olive skin tone. If you have suggestions, I’m all ears!
For this Manicure I used:
Navy nail polish
Hot pink nail polish
White nail polish
{1} nail decal in a ‘stars’ pattern
Clear nail polish
How I gave myself 4th of July Mani:
Painted my thumb nails in navy, and the rest of the nails in hot pink.
Painted white tips to all nails but the thumb.
Placed the nail decal over the thumb {put it on like a sticker. Trim the excess off with a nail clipper, and filed the tip down with a regular nail file}
Added two coats of clear nail polish.
A fun 4th of July manicure, easy as can be!
