Dodgers French
They were giving out Dodgers Hello Kitty plushes a couple weeks ago so I had to go, of course. I did my sister's nails for the game.
It was a collaboration between us, both the design and the work. She did the lettering, I did everything else. The blue tips were done with Blue from Love & Beauty (Forever 21) and red glitter heart was done with Milani Red Sparkle. The letters were done with acrylic paint and we added some jewels and I did a 3D acrylic blue bow. She added Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure and an iridescent glitter polish on top for some extra sparkle.

Fourth of July Mani
Happy Fourth, everyone! I wish I had been able to post this before today but I actually didn't even think about doing a 4th of July mani until late last night. Here it is:
The white base is MAC Vestral White, the red is OPI Rock-apulco Red, the blue is Blue from love & beauty (sold at Forever 21, same as L.A. Girl), and the glitter polish is Deborah Lippmann Today Was a Fairytale. I used a striping brush (you can find them cheap on ebay) for the stripes. My right hand actually turned out okay, though the stripes are a bit thicker and messier, haha. I realized after finishing my mani that it looked a bit abstract but if you want to make it look more reminiscent of a flag you can always to horizontal or vertical stripes instead of diagonal, or paint on stars or use star-shaped glitter instead of a glitter polish.
Hope the weather is nice for all of you and you get to eat some yummy BBQ!

Let's Go, Dodgers!
Tried to figure out a mani for the Dodgers game later today, and this is the best I could do:
Not the most creative, but I like the little hearts! There's a blue, heart-shaped rhinestone on my ring finger, although it's hard to see against the polish. I used Love & Beauty Blue (found at Forever 21), and it was a one-coater! I really like the color; in the bottle it looks like a brighter royal blue, but it's darker on the nail. It's pretty much a plain, flat blue, no green or purple undertones, no shimmer or glitter, perfect for a Dodgers game!
