Rainbow nails

Rebecca is hosting a contest that combines a few of her favorite things.  I chose to incorporate gradients and dots in mine.

This is a little more busy than what I usually do, but I it's always good to try new things.

1. Pointer: sinful colors Ruby Ruby with multiple orange dots and two sizes of red hex glitter
2. Middle finger: OPI rising star and take the stage stripes with gold hex and bar glitter
3. Fourth finger: Sheets from dry water marble (previous post)
4. Pinky: Too many shades of blue and purple to count applied with a dotting tool (notice the dots of Cult nails clairvoyant)

Time for the macro shots...

The blue polish instantly stained my cuticles.

Glitter!

Dots gone wild

With a dotting tool in one hand and glass of wine in the other, I began my entry for Chalkboard nails dotting tool inspired mani.  

I started with a bunch of different colors and ended up adding a few more.  Some were mixed together to create a more subtle gradient.   These colors may be more appropriate for fall but they're too pretty to pass up.

I practiced on my big toe first and absolutely loved the way it turned out.  Otherwise I would never post an obnoxiously close up view of my toe online.

 Here is the final product
