Double Dotting

Hi Goddesses



Today I have a mani for you which drew its inspiration from this pattern I found on Pinterest -

Georgiana Paraschiv

I didn't deliberately set out to recreate it, but the image of those dots on dots hadn't strayed very far from my mind.






When I created THIS mani for DD Dotting Days, I knew it was the perfect base to try this technique on.   The base here is a combination of Literary Lacquers Aunt Beast and OPI My Vampire Is Buff.





For my smaller dots, I didn't want them to be too stark against the creamy background I'd created, so I watered my black down with some clear polish.





I am not convinced this is a total win - I think my small dots should have been tidier and more spaced out - but I like it enough to try it with some different colours at some stage.  nd yes, great big drop dot on the middle nail, I AM looking at you!
