That being said, here's my failed attempt at a patriotic mani. The main color is Blagger by Butter London (c/o) and the white on the statement nail is Snow White by Zoya and the red is Fireberry by CND (c/o)
Close-up of the statement nail. (Sorry for the blurry phone pic - my big camera battery was dead.) I think part of the reason why the ombre didn't turn out so well is because I used a kitchen sponge instead of a makeup sponge. If you're interested in trying the sponge ombre nails, THIS looks like a great tutorial.
Last week had a ton of great link ups!! I had a hard time choosing, but I want to feature Nail Art Couture's Chinese Dress-inspired nail art. Wowza!
