America the Beautiful by ellagee!

Hey everyone! Today I have three polishes from the America the Beautiful collection by ellagee. I am very much a patriot, and wish our great nation could regress to some of the principals our founding fathers held near and dear, but alas I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. My brother fought for this nation and was wounded in Kuwait in 2005, and every time I hear the national anthem I tear up a bit. When I saw this collection, I knew I had to get them!!!

First up is Give Me Liberty, a red jelly with tiny holographic glitter. O.M.G. SOOOO pretty! The holographic glitter makes it look like tiny fireworks are going off when you move your fingers! Application was smooth, and the pictures below show two coats. For the pics I probably could have used another coat, but in real life there was no visible nail line. I actually wore this polish for 3 days without any tip wear or chipping! And I had no staining upon removal ;-)





Next up is Let Freedom Ring, the blue jelly counterpart to Give Me Liberty. Again it's full of holographic glitters...my stars but it is gorgeous! Of course, I love all blue polish but this one, WOW! Formula was smooth and long wearing and it didn't stain! Again the pics are two coats but I probably could have used three.




Last but certainly not least is Our Flag Was Still There, a gorgeous red, blue, silver, and white texture polish! Oh my, but it is sparkly!! I decided to use it over Let Freedom Ring for some nail art! Formula on this one was a little thick but it's a texture so that's completely normal. And WOW! I got TONS of complements on this! Plus, our school colors are red and blue, so I wore it to my boys' baseball game and it was totally fun!




All in all, I'm so glad I bought these polishes because all three can be used at other times besides Independence Day time! All were definitely the quality I've come to know and love from ellagee! If you're interested in getting them for yourself, visit www.ellagee.com! Give Me Liberty and Let Freedom Ring both retail for $9.50, Our Flag Was Still There retails for $10.00.
Ever patriotic,
The Unprofessional Polisher
