Happy Birthday America! Today I’d like to share with you my simple, but cute nail art inspired by this special Independence Day!
I used blue and red nail polish to paint diagonally, then added a silver line to add a sparkle to my design.
Look what I found at Walmart and love it! It’s Kiss Nail Dress. Even the phrase ‘nail stickers’ sounds cheap and too easy, but it’s exactly what I like about them…and I don’t think they look cheap! What do you think? 🙂
Gradual nail art is easy to create, but it does take a little more work than just applying a nail polish. This morning my children kept themselves busy while playing very nice and quiet in their room, and so I decided to do a nail post. Below are step-by-step pictures of how I made gradual nail art. The colors are great for an evening outing.

As you noticed, I love polka dot pattern. It is is classic, feminine and very elegant. Below are the Polka Dot looks I shared with you on my blog since its beginning.

Ombré nails are one of my favorite now. I like how easy it is to apply and it also looks pretty creative. You can do Ombré-style nails at home by mixing white polish with any dark color polish.
To make it even easier on you, you can do what I did…I bought the Fing’rs Edge Ombre Kit. I applied two coats, and it literally took me 10 minutes to get this chic gradient nails.
Turn on your creative ideas, and play with these five colors from Fing’rs Edge Ombre Kit. See this video on how to create a gradual color fade on each nail using the sponge from the kit. Love Ombre nails!
My nail design was inspired by my favorite season. I love Spring, new grass, fresh flowers, and all the optimism that comes with it every year. For the last couple of weeks, every morning when I look out the window, I see this beautiful peach tree with pink flowers all over. It brightens my day, and reminds me how many beautiful things are in the world. Unfortunately, there is evil and ugly things, but there are also so many things that are wonderful, so many people that are kind, so many places that are unforgetable. You just have to look around, notice, and appreciate them.
“Spring is when life’s alive in everything.” —Christina Rossetti
“Never yet was a springtime, when the buds forgot to bloom.”—Margaret Elizabeth Sangster
“An optimist is the human personification of spring.”—Susan J. Bissonette
“It can’t be spring if your heart is filled with past failures.”- Byron Pulsifer
