I am so thrilled with how this ended up turning out. I'll admit taking on someone else's mani vision is a little intimidating, but I think I ended up pulling it off nicely. It's definitely my favorite fruit mani to date and will be for a long time to come.





Now don't forget to check out the other talented ladies from the Digit-al Dozen and their nail art during Nail Heroes week. Especially this very special Day 1 dedicated to our friend Debbie!

The key would be having neat dots so you'll want to use a dotting tool of some sort. Between dots, I like to clean off my tool with acetone. The extra seconds it takes per dot is worth it.
