Color Guard Nail Art

I wanted to do nail art based on color guard because I have come to like color guard in tha past year or so. I am still working on my actual skills, and I have a lot to learn, but I have big plans this summer! Here's the design I came up with, though I think there could have been a bit more creativity put into this mani!

I think the guard world needs more love for some reason so this is one of the products of that obsession. Base of China Glaze Flyin' High, then with a small nail art brush I colored the nails with Black Lace Creme and French White Tip by NYC. I used Pearl Silver by Klean Color. I did a water marble on the ring finger to give the flag a design that looks like something you would see on a Guard flag. The undies for the water marble is French White Tip, I also used Zoya Aurora, Flyin' High by china Glaze, and Pros and Bronze by OPI for the water marble itself.

I did Google "Color Guard" i used a silhouette photo that I decided to re-create on my middle finger, which turned out pretty well, considering I thought I did not have the skill to do it. But alas! it came out fairly well, I think. 

The rifle and the sabre were my favorite part of this manicure, because I love that they are just perfect to cross on each other for this mani. Plus, they are my favorite part of guard so far. 

I decided to have a bit of fun with this photo by posterizing it, though it looks pretty subtle. thanks for looking at my nails!
