Circled Dots



 To the left is the design I did today. Its different colored dots that are in circles. For this design, the polishes I used were SpaRitual's Regal Creme which, it may look black in the picture, is a dark purple for the background. You really have to see it in person to see the dark purple. For the different colored circles, I used Sally Hansen's Sun Kissed and L.A. Girl's Turquoise. To make these dots, I used a dotting tool, but if you don't have one, you can use a toothpick or anything with a small rounded tip. For the background on the ring finger, I used N.Y.C.'s Taxi Yellow Creme and to finish the look I used a clear top coat. Now you don't have to use the exact same colors I did, you can use any color you like. You can even make all the circled dots the same color or use more colors. It's all about having fun, so be creative! It's really simple to do and it's really cute!

Cheetah Nails

Hello! The nail design I did was the cheetah print. I know there are hundreds of cheetah designs out there sooo to make this one a bit different, it's quite colorful. As the background I used Sally Hansen's Lilac. I don't know if you can tell in the picture, but the color of the Lilac looks pink with a touch of really light purple. The Lilac dried after 5 minutes, so using Sally Hansen's Blue Me Away, Lively Lilac, and Sun Kissed, L.A. Color's Art Deco Pink and Love & Beauty Mint, I put blots of the different colors randomly on all my nails and they dried fairly quickly. Since the Love & Beauty black that I have is a pen and brush, I used the pen part and there is a picture of it below of just the pen. So using the pen, I outlined the colored blots differently. Some with different C's, some long C's, some full C's and some that are outlined all around. Topped the whole thing off with a top coat that I've been using in all nail designs. Hope you guys like it!
