Sinful red

 I figured the rainbow nails were a little too intense for work. So, I kept the pointer finger the same and worked around that.  The base color is sinful colors Ruby ruby.  Each nail contains a small red hex and a larger red hex closer to the base. I applied the glitter with a dotting tool while the second coat of red polish was still wet.  As mentioned yesterday, the pointer finger has the small and large hex glitter along with dots in various shades of orange.  A dotting tool was used for this.

That's all for now :)

Continuing with the dot tool inspiration

It was 68 in Chicago today which is pretty amazing for March.  If only it would stay light long enough for me to get decent indoor nail photos after work.  I guess I'll just have to wait until summer for that.

This mani is growing on me, but it's still not quite what I was hoping for.  The blue and silver alone looked nice and a few orange dots have been better.  I think I went a little overboard.  The base color is cult nails is time traveler.  It goes on so smoothly and covers pretty well with just one coat.  The silver and red/orange dots are frankens which are two of my favorites.

In reality the dots and the blue mesh a little better

This was a poor attempt to mess with the lighting, but it still looks more accurate than the above photos. 

This franken is a little more orange than a brick red and has subtle gold shimmer.

This franken is a darker silver with multi-colored shimmer.  The second photo really highlights how this polish looks in the light.

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
