Fun With Flags and Love Angeline Polish Nail Art
Greetings and Nailutations!
Today I am doing a link up with some fellow bloggers who are all fans of The Big Bang Theory (TBBT)! We are all doing manis inspired by a flag, in honor of Sheldon Cooper's You Tube Show Fun With Flags. If you don't watch TBBT, you are missing out, the character of Sheldon is a hoot! (And as an engineer....I love seeing a show about fellow nerds!)
The first step was thinking about a flag....I thought....and thought. I almost gave up...literally and wanted to paint my nails all white, but I decided to do a deconstructed flag of the state I currently live in: Arizona.
I never knew there was an actual meaning to the design and colors of the Arizona flag - this research has been enlightening. The red and gold stripes (13) signify the 13 original states and inspiration from Spain's flag. The colors of red and gold also represent the beautiful sunsets we see here. The copper star represents one of the industries that Arizona was famous for: copper. The bottom blue represents one natures strongest carvers - the Colorado River (it carved out the Grand Canyon).
I used Love Angeline Polishes: Shandy, Bourbon, Red Wine and Manhattan. The stripes started with Shandy and then I applied a quick dry top coat and straight Nail Vinyls and Red Win. For the star I started with Manhattan (blue) as the base and then used a white base of China Glaze's White on White with Nail Vinyl star and then topped it with Bourbon, to make it brighter. I topped the mani with Gem Glam Top Coat from Dream Polish.
Now onto the nail art photos!
This was such a fun theme to work on and I love how it turned out. I hope you enjoyed my nail art and be sure to see below for links to my fellow Hobby Blogger's Fun With Flags Nail Art.
Happy Polishing,
Kristi aka @BeginNails

Daily Hues Nail Lacquer Kristi Swatch and Review and Giveaway
Greetings and Nailutation,
Today I am sharing a polish that is super special to me. This polish is from Daily Hues Nail Lacquer and her newest collection contains 4 collaboration lacquers with bloggers she works with. So let me introduce you to Kristi, named after yours truly!
Let's get to some swatches!
When Jenn from Daily Hues Nail Lacquer asked me what I wanted for my own polish, I asked her to duplicate her holiday polishes (Eve and Noelle), a gold and silver glitter bomb but make Kristi a black holographic glitter bomb. It was super easy to work with Jenn and she kept me up to date on the status and checked in with me every so often. When Kristi arrived, I was so happy and pleased with the result.
So, meet Kristi, she is a black holographic glitter bomb in a clear base. Formula is perfect and I placed two coats over a black undie and a shiny top coat. I also swatched it on it's own and it required 3 thin coats for total opacity.
I also did some nail art with it over a base of Pure Nail Polish Innocence and Love Angeline tribal vinyls and topped with shiny top coat.
Kristi, along with 3 other blogger collaborations are available now! They will be $8.50 and are available online (store link below).
GIVEAWAY will be on my instagram account! Check #BNDHKristiGiveawayrules for the rules (which should be live January 13th!)
Shiny Top Coat: Gem Glam Top Coat from www.dreampolish.com
Loves: easy to work with, great result, wonderful formula!
Wishes: I now wish I had my hands on the rest of the blogger collection! WOW, there is a purple that makes me weak in the knees!
