Blue Monday, Interlocking Dots

Blue Monday *-*

There are quite a few pictures and tutorials on the interlocking dots nailart design on Pinterest .  I just had to try it out for myself.  

My hat goes off to whom ever created this design.  I added the three little dots on the corners to jazz it up abit.

 

 

Here is how it's done...

First, I layered on two coats of the lovely OPI Tomorrow Never Dies from the 2012 OPI Skyfall Bond 007 Collection.

 

 Second, I taped off then using a light blue creme Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Blue-Away on one side of my nails

 

Third, this is the fun part add dots using Blue-Away on TND (try spacing them out evenly)

 

Fourth, add dots between the light blue dots using Tomorrow Never Dies (TND).  Keep in mind all the dots are placed on the line between the two colors.  Add topcoat and that's it very easy.

 

more pics because I love it so much...

 

 

Have you tried the interlocking dots design?  Do you like it?

 

 

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Acid Wash Method Nail Design

Hi Guys,

I did my nails using the Acid Wash Method technique back in June and didn't like the way they turned out and opted not to show them to you.  It looks bizarre but also interesting.  Today I built up enough confidence to show you. Here it goes don't throw tomatoes. Lol! 

After I was done I layered a coat of gold glitter on top.  (Don't remember which one :/) 

 

Items used

First I layered on Surfer Boyz n Berry, let dry next Ocean View, lastly Orange You Fast! I dipped my elf concealer brush in some acetone in various spots on my nails wiping off revealing the colors underneath.    

I tried to make it look better by adding on the gold glitter.  Lol!  I should have left it alone *-*  I'm going to try this method again until I'm satisfied with the result. 

 

You guys are so good at telling me what my designs look like.  Be honest I want to know.

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Pink Wednesday...Polka Dot Nail Art Design

Polka Dots maybe the easiest nail art design that can be done.  I had to practice trying to make them look uniform.  My problem was being in a hurry but you have to take your time if you want them done nicely.

Base Color Jessica Dazed Dahlia

I started out using my dotting tool placing the dots by eyeballing them evenly down the middle.  Then place the dots on the sides in between the middle dots.

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri WhirlWind White 

Sinful Colors Black On Black

Hope you like it.  What are you wearing today?

New Trend Water Colour Nails

Good Morning,

I'm excited to show you this new trend: Water Colour Nails.  I initially saw it on BeautyGeeks website.  I'm trying to get into doing more nail art so I thought I should give this look a try.  Not to bad if I can say so myself.   Just simply add dots of color and blot it with acetone using a makeup brush.

These are the polishes I used

I bought Whirlwind White at CVS during the sale.  Glad I did it's a nice opaque white. Used 2 coats.

Just think of all the color combo possibilities for this look.   What are your thoughts?
