I have the song "Yankee Doodle Dandy" stuck in my head right now. Oy!
This is my second ever Independence Day koni (short for konadicure). I hope you like it. I started with two coats each of OPI DS Fantasy and China Glaze Ruby Pumps. Both applied excellently, I'm happy to say!
I then added the shooting star design from plate m33 using Konad Special White polish.
Next, I added more stars using two different designs from plate m3 with Konad Special Silver polish. Got a little carried away here. :)
And then I painted on white stripes to the Ruby Pumps fingers using a white Stripe Rite polish I got at Sally Beauty Supply. This was my first time using a Stripe Rite and I was very pleased with how easy it is. It's basically like normal polish but comes with a really long, skinny brush. The formula is smooth and almost totally opaque.
You will notice my right hand below. Mostly I just wanted to reassure my readers that I in fact do have a right hand. :)
The big white star on my ring finger smudged a little. I have no idea why, but at least it's not terrible.
Mm mm mm! Star-spangled goodness on ma hands!
I am in shock about having to get up at 5:30 tomorrow morning for an early work shift. I haven't been getting up early for quite some time! *sigh* My only consolation is that I will have these pretty little fingers to look at.
