Vintage Bunting - 4th of July Nails

Wednesday, July 2, 2014

Hi folks!

Just popping in to show you my nails of the day. I may do a flashier, glittier version for the actual 4th of July.

These nails were inspired by no other than the beautiful vintage patriotic buntings that I see from time to time. I won't lie, sometimes I wish we had an old house just so it could go with the feel of lovely antique things such as this.

I used sorta faded hues (that red looks less vibrant in real life and more antiquated). American Apparel Cotton as the base. For the red, I mixed AA Pinto and Downtown LA. The blues consist of Cameo Blue and Mount Royal.

In case I don't get a chance to say it later... Happy 4th of July, fellow American friends!
