Happy Independence Day

I know I am a day late, but I wanted to wait to show you guys this post so that I could put firework pictures in it too!! Going to be a short one, but pic heavy. So be warned! lol

I have been really lazy with my nails lately, especially when it comes to nail art. So I decided to go big for the 4th.

I used Color Club's French Tip for the white. KleanColor Metallic Red for the red, and Finger Paints Surfs Up for the blue. The red, white, and blue glitter on my ring finger is Hard Candy's Soda Pop. I used stripping tape to do the lines, and a pack of star gems I got from a friend on Reddit. I had so much fun doing this mani and I love it so much. This is probably my favorite mani I have done so far!

I was so sad though that some of it bled and smudged when I put on my top coat, but I loved it anyways and got lots of compliments on it!

Please show us the mani you did for the 4th if you did any!

Hope you had a great holiday and have a great weekend! xoxoLeah

Happy independence day

Hi there!!

Happy independence day! I hope everyone that celebrates had a wonderful and safe holiday! Did you see any fireworks? I got a chance to see just a few while I was driving but I didn't go see any specifically. I wish I could have though. Those who don't celebrate, I hope you had a wonderfully awesome Thursday!

I want to show you my 4th inspired mani!! If you did a 4th inspired mani we would love to see it! Please share it on our page!

I wanted to do some kind of nail art but I just wasn't feelin anything that I  was coming up with. I searched google for some inspiration and just was not really inspired. So I just went with a red white and blue mani with some America inspired glitter. For the red I used Wet n Wild Wild Shine red red, the white is LA Colors Energy Source, and the blue is butter LONDON Royal Navy. I used Julep America for the glitter gradient. My friend Morgan did her nails and kind of did them like they were fireworks and I wanted to do something like that but I kind of failed. Was not super proud of that but I did dig the glitter gradient !

Here is a picture of Morgan's nails!

Morgan used LA Colors Energy Source as a base, Zoya Libery and Julie G Hot Cinnamonfor her colors. All she did was paint a little bit of each color and take my cuticle pusher and used the plastic side and kind of pulled them. They look like fireworks! It looks so cool! I liked mines a lot until I saw these lolol.

I hope you all had a great day!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Happy Independence Day!!

Sunday night I didn't want my kids, they were at my parents for the night. I decided I wanted to do something fun for the 4th. Lots of the stuff I wanted to try wasn't really working out that well, so I just kinda gave up and went with the flow. lol

For the base color I used Kate by Julep. This is a nice white, its hard to find good white polishes which I am sure many of you already know. I really should do a comparison with the whites that I have... Anyways, for the red, I used Devious by Sinful Shine. There is two blues used. The glittery blue is Carly by Julep. This is probably my favorite blue glitter. Love this stuff!! The second blue is more holographic, its Wow-A-Doodle by Nail Nation. Her polishes are so awesome! The glitter on my ring finger is Light It Up by Julie G. And finally, the two stars on my pointer finger on my left hand, I used stars from Hollywood Walk Of Fame by Fergie by Wet n Wild. My original plan was to use stars like that throughout the whole many, but the polish, even though it was completely dry, suddenly was taking over the stars because of the glue I put down to hold the stars. So I ended up going with the gems.

I was going to do fireworks like my thumb on my left hand for the entire mani, from the get go, but when that took so long to do, I said forget it because it was already getting late. My brush that I was using was the wrong brush and was derpin it. lol My back was hurting so I was being too lazy to get up and get my other brush. haha

I wanted to change it up on my right hand cuz I wasn't really feeling the left hand. I keep thinking of Texas now for some reason though.

I decided to do my toes too and I think they look real cute! I mean my feed look gross, but I love this fuschia with these gems. I used Metallic Fuschia by Klean Colors. I know it doesn't go with my mani, but I just can't get over how gorgeous this fuschia is!

(Don't mind my dry skin and ugly toes. lol)

For the 4th, we're probably going to go swimming with our kids, then head down to the fireworks early and have a lil bbq with some of my family. This will be Elijah's first year going, so I am excited to see how he reacts. Zeke loves the fireworks! We didn't take Elijah last year because he was only 7 months old and it was like high 90's, super humid, and just miserable out. Saginaw's fireworks keep getting better, year after year. So I am excited to see how good they are this year!

What are some family traditions that you and your family have for Independence Day?

Hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday! Have a great week! xoLeah
