Yankees Baseball Nail Art

Hi! Today I have some Yankees nail art that I did last week for a game I went to. Personally, I am a huge baseball fan and my favorite team happens to be the Yankees. However, I don't want to start some baseball controversy here though. And if you hate baseball or have no idea who the Yankees are, I don't mind but I hope you enjoy the nail art! :)

I apologize for the lack of posting. I'm going to try to have a consistent posting schedule eventually after my schedule calms down. 

Anyways, on to the nail art. I decided to paint the famous Yankees pinstripes (blue and white) on four of my nails leaving the ring finger as an accent nail. On my left hand the accent finger was the Yankees logo. On my right hand I tried to paint a baseball.

I started out with a base of China Glaze Snow (3 coats), featured in my last post. 

China Glaze Bermuda Breakaway was used for the pinstripes. I applied the stripes using a nail art brush bought from Ebay.

I  used a nail art pen for the Yankees logo (N and Y put together). On top of the logo, I applied China Glaze Nova (a hexagonal holographic glitter) with a nail art brush to give it some extra sparkle. 

I also did a very thin french tip on this accent nail with China Glaze Bermuda Breakaway.

All of these photos were taken inside with artificial lighting and no flash.

This is my right hand which is less neat than my left hand. I wanted to show the different accent nail though. As you can tell, instead of the NY logo I put a baseball print on it.

I used a red nail art pen to create the stitching on the baseball on top of the base. Then to finish it off, I used Wet 'n' Wild Black Creme for a thin french tip.

I hope you enjoyed my baseball nail art! What's your favorite sport to watch(or team)? Thanks for stopping by!

China Glaze Snow

For my current manicure I started out with China Glaze Snow as a base for nail art.

Snow is a classic white creme from last year's holiday collection.

I applied three coats of Snow for these photos. I probably could have done two.

The formula was fine. I didn't have any issues applying it.

The polish looks a little uneven in these photos but I assure you it was not the formula's fault. It was instead mine as I rushed to get this done.

All photos are inside with artificial lighting.

No flash was used.

I have used quite a few whites in the past that have given me a lot of trouble. They are usually streaky and sheer. Not this one though. China Glaze Snow is a great staple white. Great for a base for nail art.

China Glaze Snow was from last year's holiday collection. I bought mine in a four piece set containing Snow, Mrs. Claus, Phat Santa, and Frosty. The four polishes came in a clear candy shaped container! Ah, I'm a sucker for cute packaging. China Glaze had all these  gift sets last year. I hope they have some this year too. I can't wait to see China Glaze's next holiday collection.

Anyways, back to the polish. You could track it done probably if you wish. However, China Glaze also makes a white called White Out that seems just as good if not the same polish in a different bottle. They are both white cremes but I'm not sure the formulas are the same.

I'll have the nail art I did up here soon! Thanks for reading! What's your favorite white creme? Or favorite basic? Leave a comment and let me know! :)
