Happy 4th of July!!!!!

Happy Independence Day!!  I really do love this holiday... it incorporates some of my favorite things-- America, Summer, Family, Friends, Food, Fireworks, and our local trashy carnival-- lol!!  Here is a red, white, and blue Gradient Dot Manicure inspired once again by... yep, you guessed it-- Sarah at Chalkboard Nails.  This post is also part of a group mani done with some pretty talented polish pals..

My Independence Day Dot Gradient:

For this 4th of July Mani, I started with two coats of Orly Au Champagne.  After that was completely dry, I did my blue dots first with China Glaze Blue Year's Eve, then my red dots were done with Zoya Carrie Ann. (duh, should have done the red first..I think the blue would have covered the red better.. oopsie).  Yikes, my nails are kinda tiny and I shouldn't have added as many dots.  My thumb looks the best because it's much wider than my other fingers..  All in all, I like this one!!

**God bless America**
