Today I'm going to show you some appropriately festive nails well suited for 4th of July--although whenever I look at them, all I can think is 'Wonder Woman!" and all I can see is Lynda Carter running around in her cute little outfit with her adorable gold bracelets.
The nail art I did here uses InDecisive Nail Lacquer's Red and Blue Ichors, and I've been waiting to do it since I reviewed them...hee heee hee hee heeeeee...If you don't remember, these are temperature-sensitive polishes that shift from clear to colored and it turns out they're pretty darn fun to play with because of that.
I started with a base of Sally Hansen White On, and stamped stars on it using Mash 49 and Barry M Silver Foil. Over this, I painted a design with Red and Blue Ichor; the idea was that when I'm outside in the sun, you'd only see the underwear design, but when I was in cool areas, you'd see the red and blue design over it. Here is what it looks like in the warm (this was taken indoors; outside all color tint disappeared, leaving just a subtle frosted effect):
'Before', when outside in the July heat |
And then when I was inside or when the wind picked up, Wonder Woman suddenly appeared!:
Now the world is ready for you |
And the wonders you can do |
Can't you just see the bracelets flashing?! The magical spin! Of course, that show was WELL before my time...>.>...I mean, clearly I saw it in reruns and all...>.>...but doesn't it just take you back?!!
Thanks for looking, and I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July, for those that celebrate it! :)
