Dots, Dots, Polka dots everywhere I go!

I don't know if you have been living under a rock, but polka dots are pretty big right now! But if you have they are!  Which inclined me to break out the ole dotting tool and do a look.

The base color I used was so bright that I didn't want to take away from it. The color I am speaking of is a nail polish that Renee got from a recent visit in Saipan (lucky duck!) called "Surfing Paradise" by Island Girl Hawaii. It is a gorgeous creamy purplish pink that goes matte. It's simple gorgeous!

Mind those cuticles!

 

 For the white polka dots I used your basic white nail polish, but the white I used came from a dotting set that Renee bought for me in Japan. Overall a fun manicure and very easy, don't let it fool you, the dotting took about 3 minutes on each hand. When I was finished I used a gel topcoat and then a coat of Seche vite. Nice and glossy! Not a fan of matte nail polish, sorry! But that is it for now!

Ta-ta!

Short one today!

Hey everyone:)

Sorry for the lack of posts, but we will be posting more in the coming weeks, so please forgive us! Here are too looks that I did this week:

 This color is gorgeous, but will not photograph for sh*t! Its a beautiful striking blue and green duochrome that came out last year. I really wish it would photograph, but here is a quick link to it. I go bored the next day and added some white stripes and a red glittery heart that is from Color Club design nail polishes. I think it has a nautical feel, what do you think?

And this is a manicure that I did for a weekend outing with Renee that ended up being one of the worse events ever. We'll blog about it on All glitzed up sometime this week, but it was awful! But besides the crap night, I had a fun manicure for the event, I found new funky fingers in Five Below, which is a chain of stores in NY and NJ. It seriously is amazing(but you have to be fast, the good colors go fast!) And of course I topped it off with my new Butter London in Knackered for spring 2012. I am trying to get Renee to buy it, it seriously is the most gorgeous color. But that is it for now, I have some afternoon tasks, tata!

Just playing around

Before I show my current manicure, I have to tell our readers that Renee is going through something extremely personal right now. She will be back soon posting as soon as she can, she would love a few hugs though!

I've been in a polish funk and with my best friend going through something painful it is hard to be creative and colorful, but this morning ( I woke up at 5am!!!) I decided to try something like this:

Of course it looked nothing like it! But hey it was super early, so give me a break, ha ha. But here are the results:

 

The base black color is Zoya Raven, which is the most opaque black I have ever used! One coat. Done! I will add the other colors, but mostly I used silver, pink glitter detailing polishes and Zoya Keiko. Over all, a fun look, just what I needed! Tata for now!
