Matte about Dots

I now give you the last installment for this month's Tri Polish Challenge.  It has been a lot of fun trying to think of different designs for the same three polishes.  Next month I think I will be more creative.  It has been rather hard to think of things, but it has definitely challenged me and I can't wait to try next month.  So without further ado I bring you matte dots.



You know the colors, China Glaze Sunday Funday, Life Is Rosy, and Mimosa's Before Mani's.  Then I used Essie Matte About You over the entire design.


I really like this design.  I did something similar in December, but it still is a classic look.


I hope you liked it.  Take a look at the other participants if you have a moment.  They really are inventive.

Tootles!

Sunday Stamping: Dots and more dots

Today the theme set forth by Adventures In Stamping had me combining stamping with dotting tools.  This weekend has been a brief glimpse into spring and so I decided to wish a little harder for it with my manicure.


China Glaze Keep Calm, Paint On

This is supposed to be indicative of cherry blossoms.  While I don't know if it looks a lot like them it still is feminine and sweet.  I used China Glaze White-On-White, Chocodisiac, Keep Calm, Paint On, and Life Is Rosy.  The stamp was Wintsonia W112.

China Glaze Life Is Rosy

I achieved the flowers by putting a drop of WOW and LIR on a piece of paper an swirling them together in the middle.  I used that swirled middle section to dot with.  I love the look of KCPO, but it bubbled on me.  I think that was my fault though.  I don't think I waited long enough between coats.  I got a little impatient to get my vision on my nails.

China Glaze Chocodisiac

I love my thumb too!

Cherry Blossom

Just so you know I do my right hand too.  The dry winter weather and moving has done a number on my hands.  I need to be more vigilant with the moisturizing!

31 Nail Art Challenge Take Two Day 8: Polka Dots

I am not going to give a long intro, because this is a pretty straight forward design.  I give you. . . POLKA DOTS!


I feel it is a very festive look.  I am really liking China Glaze Def Defying.  I can't decide if I have Kermit or Elphaba on my nails.  I doesn't help that I want to call the polish Defying Gravity.  It isn't easy being green.  The dots were done in China Glaze Red Satin, Holly-Day, and Glitter All The Way.



These are of my right hand.  I am always happy when that hand turns out, but dots are relatively easy to do.  I like simple manicures that still look like they took tons of time.

Don't forget dot over to the other participants blogs.  (Dot over?  Is that a thing?  Sometimes it is hard to come up with puns. . .)




Tootles!
