I got my nails redone and I wanted something that would work for 4th of July but since the nails last so long, I wanted more red, white, and blue themed rather than patriotic so it wouldn't look weird after the holiday. This is what I came up with :)
It's red gel, silver glitter with gel on the middle finger, and then white gel with hand painted blue stripes. The heart is 3D art but pressed flat so it doesn't stick up really high.

These are so darn cute!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!! :)
DeleteVery nice! I want to try this. Where can I fin the 3D art for nails? Thanks in advance :)
ReplyDeleteYou have to find a salon to do it... They use acrylic.
DeleteWhat color red did u use
ReplyDeleteIt was just the brightest red they carried at the salon... Sorry, I don't know the actual color. Any orange based red rather than blue based red should work!
Deletejust discovered your blog and I love it!

DeleteFound it through a friend's blog. :) Just wondering what did you use for the middle finger? Gonna go follow now. Haha

Hi! The middle finger is actual glitter powder mixed with clear gel. After she puts a clear coat of gel so it's smooth.
DeleteDoes your manicurist have the heart decals or do you buy them and if so where please?
ReplyDeleteShe makes the heart out of acrylic :)
