4th of July Nails!

Happy 4th of July!  I didn't have a lot of inspiration for this mani but I've been seeing some looks using 'Glequins' (glitter sequins) and wanted to try it out.  I found some star glitter confetti and a Pa red glitter and sequin set at one of the stores out in town.  The sequins aren't uniform but they're close enough!  ^_^  

I used China Glaze 'First Mate' for the blue and OPI 'Alpine Snow' for the white, then layered the sequins in stripes over the white and put silver stars over the blue.  The stripes aren't that straight and it was a lot of work!  I wasn't too happy with it because I'm a perfectionist but a lot of people stopped me at the pool (the boys take swim lessons) to ask if I'd had them professionally done, lol.  I guess it looks better than I think?

Where do you get your Pa polish in Okinawa? I'm looking for some Pa flakies or anything else interesting in Japanese polish.

I bought mine at a San-A drugstore; the San-A in HambyTown has the largest selection of Pa that I've found including their flakies, crackles, metallics, and nail charms.
