U.S.A. Nails

Anyone else getting caught with the Olympic bug?  I wanted to dress my nails for the opening ceremony.  I recycled one of my 4th of July Mani's with a twist for this one.

Started out with a base of CG Dandy Lyin' Around and Illamasqua Phallic.

Using masking tape I sectioned off the area for the stars and stripes.  

 I used Konad white and plate MJ VI for the stars.  The wavy stripes are made by using Konad Wine Red and Bundle Monster plate 210.  Finally I added silver striping tape to finish the look.

Here is a picture of the original.  I think I like the look of the original one better.

G O T Challenge - Green

Today's Golden Oldie Challenge is to use a green polish.  Should be simple right?  Wrong. 

These are the polishes I used for today's mani.  CG Re-Fresh Mint, CG Four Leaf Clover, CG Jolly Holly.  

I was planning on using Re-Fresh Mint as a base and than adding some lines and flower detail.  That was the plan.

After one disastrous nail I needed something to hide the failure.  I opted for a seran wrap base and some stamping.

I used CG Jolly Holly and Cheeky D plate for the stamping images.

Not my best work, but I wanted to share it anyway.
