Abstract Pokadots...

 - I got bored and decided to spice up this manicure with my dotting tool (I sadly have misplaced the tool in the pack I love most and had to use the secondary favorite, I might have to get another set sometime if I don't find it.)

I don't have a list off hand of the polishes I used to dot, I honestly used 9 (or was it 13?) different polishes, but you can't really tell because three were like exactly the same color and some didn't show up well at all on the purple base.

 - Then I decided I didn't want regular dots I wanted to do something a bit more abstract.   I also only 3 polishes to "dot" on with this hand.

The base polish is Sally Hansen Plum Burst I believe and the accent is WnW Jewels For Your Highness, one coat over the plum.

 - Pokadots.

- Abstract swirly bits.

30 Day Untried Challenge - Day 8 - Caitlin + Petra = BFF's.

- I tried doing a drag marble technique since I fail so hardcore at water marbling. On my right hand I dotted Zoya Petra on top of Zoya Caitlin which was my main color, and then used a tooth pick to drag it around.

- On my left hand I put on Zoya Caitlin and then dotting Zoya Petra right onto my nail with the brush and then used a tooth pick the drag it around.

- I liked the right hand better last night but today I liked the left hand more. This was my first time trying this and I think with practice I can get somewhere in the middle of these two methods and have it be perfect. But I thought it wasn't too bad for my first try.

Hello There, Fancy Meeting You In My Mailbox...

- I got these for like four dollars.   But you can get them cheaper on ebay which if you'd like to do more with nail art, they're helpful.  I kind of wish I'd gotten the muti colored ones, but they didn't have them on the site I got them on, but...as you see, they seem to match my PJ pants like exactly.  That's interesting, certainly didn't plan to match for the picture, haha.

Pin Up Nails...

- These are what I'm deeming my pin up nails.  I got a set of dotting tools, and I heart them.  This was my first time using them.  This was also my first time using a Petites nail polish, I loved it.

As you can see on my left hand I tried dotting out a heart but it didn't work very well, but maybe with practice it could.

I also got the Maybelline clearanced for like 97 cents, which is awesome, I took a chance on it, I have a hard time with reds, they never quite seem to be the right red.
