Hi Goddesses
On the nail art scale, polka dots are relatively easy. So why don't I do them more often ? Well, because some of the best patterns are more geometric, and we all know I am not good at keeping to a pattern!
However, last week, I saw this on the blog of one of my nail idols, Fingers Polish Mania -
- and as she featured my favourite colour (and one I have been neglecting too much of late, i.e. purple) the die was set :)
I did mine slightly differently, as you would expect. I started off with a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls which is the weiiiiiiiirdest polish ever. Why? Well because in the bottle, it's off-white, a really weird paper / marshmallow colour, and yet it goes on to the nail perfectly white. Weird. Really weird.
I then chose these polishes for my dots - I wanted them to be tonally similar, but sufficiently different - Barry M Berry Ice Cream, Barry M Bright Pink (that's the pink ice cream looking one), Barry M Shocking Pink and Max Factor Purple Haze.
I used a variety of dotting tools to get my effect, starting with the bigger dots, and then randomly filling in little dots at the end.
Overall, I likey, but I wonder if I missed a trick by not overlapping some of them like Fingers did. I also did a blue version which I'll show you soon.
So how was your Monday ?? Enjoy xx :) and don't forget to check out the other amazing monkeys :)
