Mini Polka

I have played around with my dotting tools quite a bit, and decided to try a slightly more difficult polka dotted pattern (just smaller dots really). I selected black as a basecoat and paired it with a soft pink, as I wanted it to almost appear as black and white, but maybe a little warmer in colour. Please ignore my cuticle on my thumb, TERRIBLE!

I liked how this mani reminded me of close up pictures of fly's eyes, (weird huh?). 
It was difficult to keep the polka dots uniform, and I think occasionally I ended up with slightly larger dots, as you can probably see in the pictures. Despite that, I loved this mani, I think it was quite eye catching from far away, and close up quite impressive. It wasn't too difficult to do, but required quite a bit of time and concentration as well as a steady hand! Well worth the effort though!

Dotty

Ever since I bought dotting tools a couple months ago, I've really enjoyed creating different looks with polka dots as well as more complicated designs. Here I combined one of my favourite colours at the moment, a baby blue with pastel pink (which looks quite a lot brighter in this picture than in real life!)

To mix it up a bit I added an accent nail, which reversed the colours of the polka dots... Definitely something I want to try with a few other colour variations.
