NOTD: fireworks

for the base i used Essence (choose me) a teal shimmer w/ silver glitters

then on my thumb and ring finger i took Kiss nail art white stripper and created a firework design on the corner and added dots to show the sparks falling

on top of the white i added SinfulColors (be my valentine) a red stripper

heres a close look at the finished fireworks

on my other nails i added on top of the base Kleancolor (fireworks) gold, red, and blue hexagon glitters w/ small gold glitters in a clear base
