On My Nails: Fourth of July!

Simple, but festive.  

I didn't want to go too over the top this year, but you can't have 

America's Independence Day without some gaudy red, white, and blue.  

• Red: Ulta Eye Popping Poppy under OPI I'm Not Really A Waitress
• Blue:  Ulta Bluestreak under Sally Hansen HD Blu
• White: Orly Instant Artist Striper

It's was a special feeling last week at a concert I attended, a celebration of America.  When the MC called for a moment of silence for veterans and during a solo rendition of the country's national anthem, suddenly 70 to 80,000 people were silent in a tribute to our great nation.  It was a surreal moment.  To all me fellow Americans, happy 4th of July! To any international readers, happy fourth day of July! :)

ON MY NAILS: Glitter Accent Nail!

NAIL POLISHES:

• Gelly N' Shine Nail Paint by Barry M - Blueberry
• China Glaze - Pelican Gray
• Essie - Set In Stones

I bought three of these gelly nail polishes from Barry M whilst in London last month and LOVE them! They are high gloss and very opaque.  I also love the glitter accent nail with a similar color as a base - learned this trick from MissJenFabulous on YouTube.  All in all, this is a simple and fun look for the summer months.

My summer goal is to blog A LOT more.  I may even dabble in some video blogs while I'm at it. Stay tuned... I promise this time. :)

Have a great day,
Jenae

On My Nails: Easter Eggs 2013 Edition

Polishes:

• Butter London Teddy Girl (pink)
• China Glaze Secret Peri-"wink"-le (blue)
• Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow
• China Glaze Peachy Keen
• Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet
• Essie Play Date
• Orly Instant Artist Crisp White

This is the third year I've done this style for Easter and I got many compliments.  Simply paint the entire nail the base color, paint the second color on the bottom half of the nail and paint over the seam in a zig-zag with a striper (Orly Instant Artist).  Super cute, totally spring and very easy!

Nail of the Day: Jungle Book

ULTA Nail Polish in Jungle Book, direct sunlight, 2 coats.

I love the different look of this mossy green color.  It's really nice jewel-tone that is unique for fall.

Nail of the Day: Ringmaster

Circus by Andrea's Choice - Ringmaster, direct sunlight

I have received compliments on this nail color daily.  It's a super hot pink with coral undertones.  My only complaint is that the formula is not completely opaque in two coats.  It looks nice, but if you have imperfections on your nail, they show through.  Still love this color and am very excited to have received it in my August Glam Bag.

Nail of the Day: Subtle Sparkle

China Glaze Pelican Grey & Snow Globe, natural light.

I love this combination where the light grey acts as a nude and the subtle holographic sparkles add that unique pop.  It's especially pretty for fall or even more so, winter.
