Cruisin the Coast Mani

Happy Saturday!
Hopefully y'all are not working like I am and
having a awesome start to your weekend!

A little late on this one so forgive me. 

:-)

The weekend of October 13th was the culmination of Cruisin the Coast here on the Gulfcoast . 

It is basically a huge week long classic car show. 

Thousands of classic cars were in town and it was awesome seeing them all around the beaches!

This post is picture heavy so I apologize in advance but I had a lot of fun with this mani.

 I wanted ot include a bunch of different techniques.

I'm really proud of how this came out! love the gradient with the flames and the separation with the graphite striping tape just looks sharp.

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day!

I hope you all are enjoying the holiday and thank you to all the men and women who have given their lives to give us the freedom we enjoy!

I wanted something patriotic but also that represented the military.

I did a alternating red, white and blue water marble and camo look.

 

Red: China Glaze Poinsetta

White: Sally Hansen White On

Blue: China Glaze Frostbite

 My fave finger that came out!

 

Light green: China Glaze Starboard

Darker Green: OPI Jade is the new Black

Brown: OPI You Don't Know Jacques

Black: Wet and Wild Black Creme

 

I decided to make it matte cause thought it looked more military appropriate 

instead of being all shiny.
