Color Club Wink Wink Twinkle, with Tape Mani, Fauxnad and not quite the 4th of July manicure!
Well, I have been busy doing all of the above. It didn't start out that way of course but then it rarely does! First I did a mani with Color Club Wink Wink Twinkle which like most things of a purple nature do not photograph well. The colour on my photo's is pulling far more pink than it is. In reality its more a neon purple/magenta with non sparkly glitter and more of a matte finish. Non sparkly, I don't know how that works, but it does work though and I wore this one for almost 24 hours before I had to mess!

By this point I was envisioning a 'not quite red white and blue', and since there are a lot of my USA friends celebrating the 4th July and doing manicures to match, I though I would add some 'not quite white' to match the other 'not quites' :) SO I used a fauxnad plate and using MAC cosmetics Lustreware as the polish I stamped a pretty flower and stem design. Then for the whole star spangled 4th July thing I added another coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust. It didn't need it to be honest, but I couldn't resist it anyway. So as a nod to my American friends and followers here is my 'not quite the 4th July' manicure. I hope you all like it.

I love the fact that it's not in-your-face red, white and blue. After staring at the gaudiness on my nails the subtlety is appreciated XD

That shade combo really stands out in a subtle playful kind of way, especially with the striping and stamping details kind of all coming together like, somehow. Color Club Wink Wink Twinkle, with Tape Mani, Fauxnad and not quite the 4th of July manicure! feels like a fun twist on a classic vibe but without going full patriotic. The mix of techniques gives it a layered look that keeps your nails interesting from literally every angle. I’ve also noticed folks sharing similar nail ideas while juggling stuff like online class help and still making room for personal style, ya know. Overall, it’s a creative set that feels easygoing but also like, thoughtfully put together.
