Dots, spots and slodges.

I haven't tried out dotting before and I thought I'd use the biggest of my dotting tools for this one. New polishes, Sally Hansen Himalayan Blue and Rimmel Misty Jade. I like the colours together so I thought I'd see what this looked like.

 

Three coats of each colour then dotted each colour on top. Quick drying and seem to be holding fast so far. :) I like them.

Also, whilst I'm here, I did my Mum's nails earlier, they could have gone better but this is what she wanted. I did a simple french manicure followed by stamping the little flower design with Sally Hansen Gray by Gray and then adding three little dots to finish it off. I wanted to try silver but Mum wanted this one. Ho hum, she's happy so I am :)

Blue Moons

So today I've got another little idea inspired by my born pretty glequins. I started with two layers of my blue Nails Inc mini from the "Flutter and Paint" gift set I got for £2 from TK Maxx. Bargain! I then used my dotting tool to place the glequins one at a time over my Barry M top coat to stick them down. I then finished off the moon shape with a line using my nail art pen from Topshop.

 

I've had it on a couple of days now and it's lasted well. I also tried out my new Sally Hansen Dry Kwik for this design and it worked a treat. It's not a thick top coat it's consistency is water like but it does the trick.
