Color Me So Crazy

**May Contain Press Samples**  Happy 4th of July my fellow Americans!! I am so excited about this holiday as it's one of my favorites! The colors, the food, the fireworks, the fun! All of it is just so uplifting and everything I love in a holiday!  For my manicure, I went with something easy but very patriotic. I got these USA stamp plates a very long time ago and I only use them a couple time a year. They are no-named brand but I love them! They pick up so nicely and lay down even better.   Colors Used: Sally Hansen- Midnight Affair Sally Hansen- Rhapsody Red L.A. Girl- Celebrate Zoya- Aspen Happy Independence Day!!

**May Contain Press Samples** Today was more of a relax and recuperate day for my family. We were supposed to travel to the east side of PA to camp out and celebrate, but I've been sick so we were stuck in Pittsburgh. I shouldn't say stuck because there are sooo many things to do. Me, I was stuck. I have an infection which has lead to a series of scary questions from my doctor and now further testing. I'm trying not to freak out, but I did already have a similar issue when I was pregnant with my daughter. So, in the meantime, I am going to try to relax and take it one day at a time. My oldest pretending to drive this front loader.  Squeeeeee GOATS! I want one so bad!! My love bugs in front of firetruck! Mars does not look impressed. #TypicalMarsFace Sitting in the police station. No, we were just visiting. No one actually had to go inside.  Anyway, we celebrated the 4th of July on Sunday instead. The 4th of July represents the independence of the Uni...

**May Contain Press Samples** As I mentioned Thursday, this is one of my favorite holidays. I love America and I just love all the celebrations we have this day! I get to celebrate my freedom, all the things my military family does for me and to be honest all the GREAT food!! Of course, I had to go all glitz with my nails. I did a little stamp and glitter earlier this week but for what I am actually rocking today is straight glitz, holo, decals and crelly! I went as skittle as you can go with these nails!  I also picked these polishes because I know they would stay through all of the crazy festivities I have going on this weekend. Between all the good food, tubing, four-wheeling, fireworks and just good 'ol fun I need something that is going to stay. All this heavy duty glitter is going to stay and look good!  Tell me what you are wearing today! Anything special? Do you have any special 4th of July polish? What is it! Do you have any special plans today? Tell ...

**May Contain Press Samples** Here we are!! One of my favorite holidays! I love my country and I love all the things that I get to do because I live here. I have family members that fight for my freedom every day so I love this country even more for that! Of course I am going to celebrate the heck out of this day!! I did a makeup look from NYC New York Color a few days ago that I am going to rock for my 4th of July look... you can check that out here . Now, I decided you have to see what I designed to wear on my nails. I have a couple different glitters to wear, so I usually do skittle because I can never just choose one. This year, I actually did two different looks because I had so many different designs floating through my head. I did one to rock today and Friday and one to rock Saturday and Sunday. Yeah... I love my country!! For this design, I did a little glitter and a little stamping. Best of both worlds, right?? Do you have anything special on your nails for the 4...

**Press Samples** 4th of July for me is always a fun, family party filled day. I always like to do something crazy and wild with my makeup and my nails. This year, NYC New York Color gave me some fun colors to play with to be able to do this with. I am excited about this and I can't wait to wear it again on this holiday.   I got 2 City Proof 24 Hour Waterproof Eye Shadow Crayons. One the color East River Romance (above) and  Rockefeller Center Snowflakes (below). Perfect for the upcoming holiday!! I will be using the blue ALL of the time! I love it for a lower lid liner. Perfect for summer.   Vibrant color has never been easier. This retractable chubby has a unique, pigment- packed formula for 24- hour waterproof wear. Color glides on smooth and stays crease- proof all day and night. Try using it as a liner, or smudge with your finger for a smoky effect. There are 12 colors all together and they are only $2.99. I think this would be perfect for a night out ...

Since I spammed you all with my designs from the last couple of days, I am going to keep this short and sweet!! This is the actual design I am wearing today. I was going to go really simple, but what is a holiday without some glitz??   For this simple design I used some glitter, stamping and some festive colors. It was super simple and looks super awesome! Colors Used: Orly- Sweet Peacock Orly- Red Carpet Colors Club- Over the Moon L.A. Girl- Celebrate OPI- Gettin' Miss Piggy With It ellagee- Festival of Lights JustRica- Whiteout YouPolish- Sexy M.F.   I did the Red Carpet as a base and the Gettin' Miss Piggy With It on top. It is a great combo and it WILL make a reappearance for #RedCoatTuesdays.  I used the Sweet Peacock under Festival of Lights. It's a very multi-holiday glitter.  I then stamped with the color Club and YouPolish on my middle two fingers. I got the YouPolish as a OOAK custom. There is nothing ...

For this design I wanted to do American flags and use all different mediums. Last year, I did a sugar spun flag, so I wanted to expand a little and see what other technique I could use to create a flag. I used striping tape to make a nice crisp striped design on my index finger. Next, I did my original sugar spun flag on my middle finger. For my ring finger, I did a dot design and finally for my pinkie I did a water marble.  My pinkie was IMPOSSIBLE to perfect and I wanted to back out as soon as I started. It was super difficult to get the "stars" area defined. Striping tape, sugar spun and dots were all super easy to do, but the water marbling- what was I thinking?  Anyway, what do you think of my multi-medium flag design?? Colors Used: Sinful Colors- Ruby Ruby Revlon- Royal Sinful Colors- Snow Me White
