Memorial Day Mani!

Good afternoon!  As most of us Americans are getting ready to enjoy a day off of work and school, firing up the BBQ's and drinking a few cold ones let's remember the real reason behind this holiday.  Memorial Day is a day of remembrance and gratefulness to those men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country.  To uphold the rights and freedom that we enjoy every day.  Today Americans remember the fallen soldiers who have served our great country.  I am very grateful for all the US soldiers, alive and passed on.  Thank you so much for your dedication to the USA.    
For today I chose to go patriotic with my mani, but I needed to stay true to myself so I started out with 3 amazing holos!  Smitten Polish The First Lobster (red), Glitter Gal Light As A Feather (white) and Ninja Polish Glamorous (blue).  I topped them with a reverse glitter gradient of Lumina Lacquer Young Americans.  I seriously adore this red, white and blue glitter polish with all it's hearts, stars and circles!  I am very pleased with how my mani turned out.   

Happy 4th of July Part 2!!

I'm baaaaack!  I couldn't do just one mani - nope, not me!  Here's another 4th of July mani for you to enjoy!  Maybe if you haven't done your nails yet you will get some inspiration from me or some of the other fabulous mani pics out there right now (blogger & non-blogger)!

This skittlette is so much fun!  I have been enjoying if for my second day now and I can't stop checking out my own nails!  

Here's the breakdown:

Thumb/ring: 2x NOPI Challenge Red-y, 2-3x Lumina Lacquer Young Americans

Index: 2x OPI Solitaire

Middle/pinky: 2x Ninja Polish Glamorous 

Young Americans is a fantastic red, white and blue glitter bomb.  It is so much fun, and I love David Bowie so how could I pass up on this polish?  YA is a clear base packed full of stars, hearts, circles, hexs, shards and micro glitter.  The formula and application was on par with all the other Luminas I have reviewed (awesome and gorgeous).  Tons of glitter came out with each brush dip and it spread easily on my nails.  I did use topcoat AND Gelous on the glitter nails to a smooth finish.  Glamorous is, well, what can I say.  It's amazing!  What a stunning blue holo it is.  And the formula?  To die for!  If you need a blue holo this is the one you should get!  I used 2 coats and 1 layer of topcoat.
