Election Day Nails

Americans, did you vote yet? Regardless of who you support this election season, voting is one of the ways we can make our voice heard in this democratic republic and our voices are valuable! I think that I love nail polish because in a way, it gives me a second voice. People know a little something about me just because I have something shiny at my fingertips. And today, they know a little something about me because I have patriotic nail polish and a tiny white "I Voted!" sticker on my shirt.

I put down a base of Sally Hansen Insta-dry in pitch black, then gave all of my nails a coat of Orly Flash Glam FX in Rockets Red Glare, and did my accent nails with Spazmatic. (Please note, I have more red because it is my favorite color, not because I am publicly endorsing anyone or anything, other than our right to vote.)

Here's the photos:
I'm still working out how to photograph glitter. Bear with me please!

 For whatever reason, Rocket's Red Glare looks orangey here... it's not! It's a gorgeous deep red!
 Let's try taking pictures outdoors...

That's a little better...

 For this one I played with the focus to try to show you how sparkly this is in real life. Did it work?
 This is really so shiny and deep... I keep staring! 


I voted today. Did you?

Happy polishing!
