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!

St. Baldricks

Hi there :)

About a week or so ago, my friend Amanda held an event at our town expo called "Wauconda Community Shave" it was to raise money and awareness for St. Baldricks Foundation: a foundation to help cure kid cancer. It really is an amazing organization! At the event so many awesome people shaved their heads to stand with children with cancer, and surprisingly most of them were girls/woman! It was truly heart warming and I had tears in my eyes almost the whole time I was there! Amanda and her mom even shaved their heads! I was going to shave my head but I wouldn't have been able to donate it, and I feel like that would be a waste. Just last year I cut my hair to donate it so I told Amanda maybe we could all do it next year so I would be able to donate it! If you are interested in checking out photos of the event or information on St. Baldricks, click on the links here and here.

I did some nail art on my nails in support! I also painted her nails too! Check them out :) I use Pure Ice- Free Spirit on all my nails except the accent nail I used LA Colors- Energy Source. 

On my accent nail I drew the St. Baldricks logo. I am no artist but I think its pretty close!

I drew little faces on my middle and ring finger with Julep Hayden.

I used Pure Ice- Free Spirit for the eyes, Wet n Wild Red Red for the lips & Black Créme and little rhinestones on my pinkie.

I really really enjoyed this nail art! I spent a lot of time on it and put in a lot of hard work! I didn't get to wear this to the event because I had to work and it didn't last that long. I really wish I would have planned better to be able to wear them to the event. Here is a photo of Amanda's nails that I did on her. I didn't get to do so much detail on her's because I did it right before I went to work. I also wish I would have planned better to do the nail art on her nails too, but I think they are still nice!

Here is a photo of Amanda and her Mom Before & After!

Thank you for reading! I really hope you enjoy this post!
