4th of July Nail Art inspiration with Red Carpet Manicure

Hey Beauties :)

I'm still thinking about what I'm going to put on my nails for the 4th of July holiday here in the States, so I thought I'd post an inspiration that I may try out: Drag Art!

Drag art is one of the biggest nail trends right now. With Red Carpet Manicure, the first at home – LED gel system, there are multiple ways of accomplishing this effect, and this is a step by step guide provided straight from RCM's Nail Technicians to achieve Patriotic nails for the 4thof July.

L - R: Red Carpet Reddy, Drop Dead Gorgeous, White Hot


Tips from Red Carpet Manicure Nail Technician, Danielle Candido:

  1. Paint the whole nail with Red Carpet Reddy
  2. Before curing the second coat of color, take a striping brush and lay down a stripe of Drop Dead Gorgeous. Do not cure this layer. 
  3. Clean the brush and lay down a stripe of White Hot either right next to the first stripe or even down the center of the first stripe. Do not cure this layer.
  4. Clean the brush.
  5. Next, with the thin edge of the flattened striping brush, pull the tip of the brush through all the lines in a pre-determined pattern and cure.
  6. Apply a thin coat of Brilliance Top Coat. Cure and wipe with Purify.

Here is an example of 4th of July Drag Art:

From sophienailpassion.blogspot.com 


The nail art in the picture was done using regular nail polish, using this tutorial video.

Now, the HUGE benefit in using gel polish is that it wont dry until you cure it. This gives you unlimited time to perfect your design and clean up before curing it under the light.

I'm definitely going to try it out (Check out my attempt HERE!). What have you got in mind for 4th of July/Independence Day/Canada Day if you celebrate it?

    Howdy! I understand this is kind of off-topic but I had to ask.
    Does operating a well-established website such as yours require a large amount of work?
    I am brand new to running a blog however I do write in my journal daily.
    I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!

    established blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog?

    about creating my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Appreciate it

    I drop a leave a response each time I appreciate a article
    on a blog or I have something to valuable to contribute to
    the conversation. It's triggered by the fire communicated in the article I read. And on this article "4th of July Nail Art inspiration with Red Carpet Manicure". I was actually moved enough to drop a leave a responsea response :-P I actually do have a couple of questions for you if you tend not to mind. Could it be just me or do some of the remarks look like they are written by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing at other places, I would like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list all of all your social pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
