SIMPLES Week 14 - Gradient with Dots

Hi Goddesses



Today is the last of our "dots on top of a non-plain base" manis, and today we are dotting on top of a gradient.





As with the last couple of manis, the purpose of this is 2-fold -

1.  to show that you don't have to have super advanced skills to make a really pretty mani with depth and interest to it

2.  it's a great way to extend your mani over the week - Day 1, plain > Day 2, gradient > Day 3, ooooh I'll add some dots





Dotting over a gradient is one of my favourite styles of manis.  It's simple, easy and PRETTY :)



Here I've used the base I did for gradient week, and then dotted over it with BSquared With All My Heart.



No tutorial for this one, but here are some other manis you might draw inspiration from -

And finally, the absolute QUEEN of dotting over a gradient is Clare, over at Nuthin But A Nail Thing -
