Dot nails! I was inspired to do this look after thumbing through TheLittleCanvas’s blog. This look is so super easy. You just need a dotter tool, or even just a toothpick or the head of a bobby pin.  I used “Cho” by Zoya (nude) and my new Julep polish called “Niecy” (pink).  ”Niecy” has a coat of “Chloe” by Zoya on top of it, such a pretty flaky glitter that look different over everything you put it over.
To make the dots, I just placed a dot of whatever base color I used on top of a larger dot of “Black Rage” by Pure Ice. Super simple!

Thank you!

Woohoo! Passed 100 followers! I wanted to do a giveaway when I hit 100 but I’m low on funds so I’ll have to save it for another milestone, maybe 150? 200? Which would you prefer: a smaller giveaway sooner or a bigger one later?

Ty to all of my lovely followers <3 you guys are awesome!

Stamped nails! I used my Konad stamper for the first time in a long while.  I used plate m65 for this, a geometric retro kind of pattern. I was out of my white Konad special polish so I just ended up using my Pure Ice white &#8220;Super Star&#8221; and that worked just fine. I thought these would be some good summer time colors!
Colors I used:
Pink - &#8220;24/7&#8221; by Sinful Colors
Blue - &#8220;Factory Girl&#8221; by Color Club
Yellow - &#8220;Pull Over&#8221; by Sinful Colors mixed with a bit of white to make it more pastel

Watermelon nails! I painted my sister&#8217;s nails like this the other day and decided to do my own. I started with Purce Ice&#8217;s &#8220;Watermelon Ice&#8221; and added a green tip (&#8220;Four Leaf Clover&#8221; by China Glaze) with some lighter green squiggly lines (&#8220;Mermaid Tears&#8221; by OPI). I used a toothpick and &#8220;Black Rage&#8221; by Pure Ice to make the seeds, I found it was easier to use than my dotter tool for dragging the dot into a seed shape. 
Hope you like these! If you try this out, let me know!
