Dotted Polka

I'm taking a fashion design class and great news 'dots are the new stripes'. I think both patterns are timeless and fun, there are sooooooooooo many combinations you can do with both. I used this rich, hot pink and tangerine together, they complement one another. You almost can't tell the one nail is a different color, its like a surprise lol. I think I'll be doing more with dots whoot whoot. This fall season its all about the dots. Dot on...

Dot off...p.s. my nails got super brittle and started breaking so I decided to just cut them all off and start all over booooooo....okay Dot on...

For the base of the thumb, pointer, middle, and pinky I used Orly's 'Truly Tangerine' and for the base of the ring finger I used Orly's 'Purple Crush'. For the dots I used Orly's 'Truly Tangerine' and  'Purple Crush'. All topped off with two coats of Seche Vite.

For the base of the index, middle, ring, and pinky I used Orly's 'Purple Crush'. For the base of the thumb I used Orly's 'Truly Tangerine'. For the dots I used Orly's 'Truly Tangerine' and 'Purple Crush'. All topped off with two coats of Seche Vite.

Carpet-teer

I just returned from an awesome trip in Orlando, FL. I was trying to do this post while I was there but it wasn't working out for me booooooooo. There was so much inspiration there from my adventures to Epcot and the drama at Magic Kingdom, all the way to the lobby of my hotel, and the great time I had people-watching (come on, we all do it lol). The hotel had some awesome carpet (as far as pattern/design goes) hence the title Carpet-teer. What was so crazy was I had only brought four colors with me and they resembled the colors of the carpet so close I couldn't help but to do this design. Sadly, I don't think I took enough pictures, there was literally a different design on every floor. Even the furniture was inspiring, beautiful lamp fixtures, cool lawn furniture...perhaps for future nail art ideas. Of course I won't forget my time at the beach, I have some ideas for the trip alone heeheehee.

My inspiration

The carpet on the lobby floor of the Hilton Orlando

My nails

For the base I used China Glaze's 'Metallic Muse'. For the stripes I used Zoya's 'Kelly' and Zoya's 'Pippa'. For the flowers I used Nina Ultra Pro's 'Punki Pink' and Zoya's 'Pippa', all topped off with two coats of Seche Vite.



I ready for another vacation already lol
