Happy 4th of July!

Happy Independence Day to all my American friends!  I thought I'd do these nails quickly last night, but quickly turned into almost 2 hours from start to finish but I think they were worth it!  Here's what I came up with!


Started out with a base of Painted Polish Seeing Stripes, Painted Polish Seeing Stars and accent nail of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.  The Painted Polish were three thin coats; the OPI, two.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


I had made stamper decals for the thumb and index finger using Konad Square 09 (thumb) and UC mini: Fourth of July for the index.  The base for the thumb is the blue microglitter (Seeing Stars) and I filled in some of the stars with the red microglitter (See Stripes); the base for the index is the red microglitter and I filled in the lines using the blue.  Unfortunately, I had cracks in the white lines of the decal for the index so I did some hand painting to try to correct.  After the decals were dry and applied, stamped middle using Wistonia American Pride, ring finger with Chez Delaney Fete 001 and CjS LC10 and pinky using MoYou Festive Collection-44.  Stamping polishes used were Konad red special polish, Moyra SP. 05 and FunkyFingers Gesso.  Added random stars on middle and ring finger using image from Wistonia American Freedom and Konad red special polish.

Digit-al Dozen Does Albums; Day 2

It's Day 2 of Digit-al Dozen album challenge!  

Do you recognize the album that these nails are paying tribute to?  If you didn't recognize it off the get-go, I'm sure you will once you see the album cover; it is an iconic album cover for sure!  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls with accent nail of Fancy Gloss Washed Out Jeans, no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 


Stamped using images from Konad Square 09 (thumb), Delaney Tissus 001 (index) and Konad Square 01 (rest) using MdU 112 and Konad red stamping polish.  Note:  used pretty firm clear stamper as that helps keeps the lines straight.  



Delaney Tissus 001.



Konad Square 09


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.  Thumb image is just appropriate filler and for interest.  I have loved that image from when I first seen it and bought the plate just for it!  While I can use it for a 4th of July mani, it was nice to use it another time too!


So did you guess the album???  If you guessed Bruce Springsteen Born In the U.S.A., you were right!



Here's the other ladies day 2 mani's!
