Patriotic Nails for the 4th of July

I of course had to have festive nails for the holiday, and decided to do something simple and fancy.

I started with the usual base coat and then painted the bottom 2/3 of my nail with Wet N Wild white nail polish. I would have done the whole nail, but my polish it getting old and gloopy. Then I painted the blue part on a diagonal. I used Pure Ice - Celestial 775CP, I really like it. Next I did the "stars" with an L.A. Looks

silver glitter polish. The red stripes are made from a red stripping tape. I cute them into manageable lengths, applied them to my nails, finished the nail off with a top coat and then once dry I used manicure scissors to snip off any extra overhang from the strips.
