Dotted Polka

I'm taking a fashion design class and great news 'dots are the new stripes'. I think both patterns are timeless and fun, there are sooooooooooo many combinations you can do with both. I used this rich, hot pink and tangerine together, they complement one another. You almost can't tell the one nail is a different color, its like a surprise lol. I think I'll be doing more with dots whoot whoot. This fall season its all about the dots. Dot on...

Dot off...p.s. my nails got super brittle and started breaking so I decided to just cut them all off and start all over booooooo....okay Dot on...

For the base of the thumb, pointer, middle, and pinky I used Orly's 'Truly Tangerine' and for the base of the ring finger I used Orly's 'Purple Crush'. For the dots I used Orly's 'Truly Tangerine' and  'Purple Crush'. All topped off with two coats of Seche Vite.

For the base of the index, middle, ring, and pinky I used Orly's 'Purple Crush'. For the base of the thumb I used Orly's 'Truly Tangerine'. For the dots I used Orly's 'Truly Tangerine' and 'Purple Crush'. All topped off with two coats of Seche Vite.

Twirly Whirly

Once again I couldn't choose just one so instead I chose three (me and my color lol), anything bright and shiny I'm down for....well it has to be worked the right way. The idea I was going for was color oozing from one nail to the other, like a lava lamp, I think it was better conveyed on my left hand. I actually used three different base colors but it looks more like I used pink on one and green on the other...Oooo Green Lantern, anyone going to see that or going to see Ryan Reynolds I should say heeheehee?



For the base of the thumb and index finger I used Nubar's 'Hot Yellow', swirled with Nina Ultra Pro's 'Leaf Me Alone' and outlined with Kiss Brush-On Nail Art Paint--Rock Star. For the base of the middle, ring, and pinky I used Nina Ultra Pro's 'Leaf Me Alone', swirled with Nubar's 'Hot Yellow' and outlined with Kiss Brush-On Nail Art Paint--Rock Star, all topped off with two coats of Seche Vite.





For the base of the pinky, ring, and middle finger I used Orly's 'Va Va Voom' and swirled Nubar's 'Hot Yellow' outlined in Kiss Brush-On Nail Art Paint--Rock Star. For the base of the index and thumb I used Nubar's 'Hot Yellow', swirled with Orly's 'Va Va Voom' and outlined with Kiss Brush-On Nail Art Paint--Rock Star, all topped off with two coats of Seche Vite.



Just Plaid-ing Around

Keeping up with the prints I decided to do plaid. Plaid is awesome because there's so much you can do with it, from clothes to shoes, from jewelry to nails, the possibilities are endless. How about plaid printed cars--I don't think I've seen one and I can't say I'd jump on board with that but it would be pretty cool lol. On to the nails, of course I couldn't pick just one color lol--so on one hand I have a purple color as the base color, with the middle finger having a teal for it's base and on the other hand I chose to use the teal as the base color, with purple for the middle finger, and all types of colors for the lines heeheehee. The purple is like a surprise in a bottle, it has speckles of glitter mixed in and at first I was a little disappointed because it went on really dull but when I painted that top coat, all I can say is OMG...I was pleasantly surprised. The teal kind of reminds me of girl-scout-green, if you stare at it too long....boy I sure could go for some somoas speaking of girl scout cookies MMmmmmm...anyways lol, it went on very smooth and didn't need a top coat to make it shiny (but of course I used one). I guess I'll have to wait til next year for those cookies :(








On the right hand I used China Glaze's 'Flying Dragon' as the base for all except the middle, where I used Orly's 'Green with Envy'. For the index finger I used Kiss' Brush-on Nail Art Paint--Beach Green and Kiss' Brush-on Nail Art Paint--Neon Orange for the lines. For the other fingers I used Kiss' Brush-on Nail Art Paint--Beach Purple and So Easy's Stripe Rite--Yellow. Topped off with two coats of Seche Vite.

Taste the Rainbow

I absolutely looooove Wildberry Skittles...aka the purple pack! Sure the blue pack is tasty too but its no match to purple. It seems to be a challenge to find them around these here parts lol. So since I can't always find them I decided to paint them (and make the design my new profile pic). YUMMY! I think I'm bout to go buy some now lol

Mmmmmmm...taste the rainbow....
