Whenever I sit down to do my nails I think…’Sure, I could do a watermarble…’ but, I never do. I look back on the last year and realize the last time I did a marble was, in fact, September 20, 2017. Apparently, water marbling is strictly an annual thing for me.

Though I don’t have a lot of practice with it, I have to admit I adore how these came out and of course, I included the dots!

I hope you like it!

I considered all the ways I could do this prompt and decided on something simple. I made this look a little late in the day but I was able to get some sunshine for photos…Summer is coming to a close and soon it will be dark by 5pm! Yikes!

I hope you like this look! Before you scroll down don’t forget to…

I’m not sure how I feel about this look. I like all three polishes separately but I’m not sure they work well together. People over on Instagram seem to really like it so I guess it’s a win!

You have no idea how excited I was to share these nails!!! I did post a clean version at the end but honestly, they’re not as fun as the full on splatter. What do you think? Let me know in the comments.

I was inspired by a look I saw on the MoYou London instagram page and thought I’d swing it for both the 31 Day Challenge and MoYou contest! I hope you like this simple metallic stamping look. And, of course, I added my dots to it!

Dot everything. I was inspired by some of my full nail dotticures from last year. I hope you like this bright, purple nail art for today’s 31 Day Challenge 2018!

Ah, these are definitely dots! I always shy away from dot designs like straight lines because the time and effort it takes to make them straight greatly outweighs how my arthritis flares in my fingers.
All things considered though, these came out super cute and the colors mesh well together. I hope you like it as much as I do!
