Happy 4th of July!!

***Nothing to Disclose***

It's Independence Day here in the United States!!  No...no, there's no Will Smith and a bunch of aliens (dammit) :P

I created 3 different manis in celebration of the 4th - I'm pretty stoked that I made myself sit down and do these.  I rarely ever make myself use polish I purchase right when I purchase it, and most of it ends up sitting, neglected in a drawer :( 

But not this time!!  Bwahaha!!

Here's the first mani:

I used Laquered Up's "Liberty Belle" over all my nails and did a glitter placement accent nail using "Star Gazer" on my ring finger.  Those took me FOREVER - but worth it, I'm so happy!!  These stars were holo, too, so they stood out a lot outdoors :D

Next mani:

I used Envy Lacquer's "Bang," "Sparkle," and "Grand Finale" for this mani, as well as vinyls from Vibrant Vinyls to make the curved lines - there's no way I could do that freehand and it would look okay :P  This trio sparkles like nobody's business, and I'll have a video of it up on my Instagram later today, so keep an eye out!

And my final (and favorite) mani:

I used Frenzy Polish's 4th of July Trio for this mani.  I did glitter placement on the pointer nail to represent the stars in the American Flag, and straight line vinyls from somewhere (it's not marked on the back so I have no idea where I got them) to make the stripes pattern on the remaining nails.  The holo in this one was incredible!!  I left this mani on the longest ^_^

I'm on my own this year with the kidlets while the hubs is out of town, so we won't be doing much by way of fun activities for the holiday.  They're a bit young yet, anyway.  What are your plans for the 4th (if you celebrate it)?

All polish purchased by me for funsies.  

Black Label Nails R-O-C-K in the USA Trio

***Press Sample***

Busy day ahead of me so I'll be keeping this short and getting right to the point!  Black Label Nails has come out with a 4th of July Trio called R-O-C-K in the USA.

We'll start with R-O-C-K in the USA: Red

Red is a red jelly.  The formula is a bit patchy on this one, even at 3 coats (as shown above), but would be perfect as a base for a glitter, or to use in a jelly stampwich :D

Next is R-O-C-K in the USA: Blue

Blue is a bright blue chrome.  Opaque in 3 coats, as shown above.

And lastly is R-O-C-K in the USA: Fireworks

Fireworks is a glitter topper filled with white stars, red metallic glitters, small blue matte glitters, and holographic bar glitters.  Some of the larger glitters needed some encouragement to spread out, but the topper overall is pretty fun, definitely reminiscent of fireworks!  Shown above as 1 coat over Red and Blue.

Since it is for the 4th, I *had* to do some nail art with the three :D

R-O-C-K in the USA Trio is available now at the Black Label Nails shop linked below!
