4th of July Inspired Nail Tutorial~!

Hey Guys~!

So today I felt like getting my nails ready for 4th of July in advanced and here's the look I created. . .

Here's where you'll need

- a base coat (I used Revlon's Nail Hardener)

- red nail polish (I used Revlon's Cherry Bon Bon)

- blue nail polish (I used Essie's Beach Bum Blu)

- white striper (I used Milani's Nail Art in White Canvas)

- glitter top coat (I used an LA Colors Color Craze Glitter Polish)

- a nail art brush (I used a cheap paint brush)

- Vaseline

                                         

::rhinestones are optional::

 

So let's get started~!

 

 



 

Apply a base coat

to protect and

strengthen your nails.

If you don't have a

base coat you can use

any clear nail polish

or nail hardener.

 

 

Then put on 2-3 coats

of any red nail polish

 of your choice. I used

Cherry Bon Bon by Revlon

cause it's a cherry red and

it smells like cherries :3

 

 Take your nail art brush (or a thin paint brush

and dip the tip in Vaseline. This will protect

the brush from drying out because of the nail polish.

Rub off any access Vaseline before dipping the

brush in your blue polish. I'm using Beach Bum

Blu from Essie. If you want to know more about

that polish, check out my previous blog post.

 

Pick a corner or two of your nail

and using the brush, lightly drag

the color so it looks like this. . .

 

Then with your white striper repeat

what you did with the blue nail polish,

but use it sparingly so you don't

cover up all of the blue.

Once that is dry apply a glitter top coat of

your choice. I used a silver glitter by LA

Colors. To add some more shine add a

rhinestone on the center of the fire work,

or take a glitter polish with larger pieces

of glitter and then applied that sparingly

on the center of the fireworks.

 And then you're done :)

I hope you enjoyed this nail art tutorial and have a great 4th of July~!
