Hey There Polished People!

One thing I really like about the challenge posts every three days is that I have lots of time to try several different looks for each topic. These nails that you’re about to see were some I was trying out for the polka dot day, but as you know I ended up doing something else. Tomorrow is stripes day so I thought these would fit in perfectly right here! I’m not a big fan of these nails but they’re like “alright.” You all will have to let me know what you think.

Striped and Dotty Nails

How To Get These Nails:

Base coat. 🙂 Don’t forget! Paint all of your nails except for the ring finger with 3 coats of ChG Kalahari Kiss. Paint the ring finger nail with Essence Little Miss Sunrise. Using Sation Rock A Guy Blue and a small dotting tool, add the blue dots sporadically to all fingers but your ring finger. Using Essence Little Miss Sunrise and a large dotting tool add the yellow dots in between the blue on all but the ring finger. Using the two colors from above, a piece of tin foil and a makeup sponge, make a gradient on the ring finger. Apply a coat of Seche Vite to your ring finger and allow that nail to dry thoroughly. When dry, use striping tape to tape off the lines like you see in my picture, then paint your nail with 2 coats of ChG Kalahari Kiss. Remove the striping tape as soon as you’re done with the final coat of Kalahari Kiss. Apply one careful coat of Seche Vite, then one more if you feel like you need more smoothing out. Repeat on the other hand and then show your friends! And by “friends” I mean me, on Twitter. 😉

What is your favorite way to use dots in a manicure? I love my dotting tool and definitely need to use it more. I’d love some suggestions! As always, thanks for reading and till next time- Happy Polishing!! 😀
