I had this cool idea to do a dotticure, top coat it, then saran-wrap black on top. I think it might have looked really cool but when I actually finished the base, I did not want to cover it up at all! I used varying red and pinks but the finished look kind of reminds me of chocolates, somehow!

So…for the fourth prompt of this month’s Challenge Your Nail Art…I present my Valentine’s Day dotticure!

I hope you like it!

 

Valentine's Day Dotticure | The Rite of Aging

I started with 2 coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Petal Pusher as my base.

I dotted with OPI Lincoln Park After Dark, Dance Legend 373, Barry M Gelly Grapefruit and Milani (new) Spotlight White.

I had no clear vision for this nail art. All I knew was I wanted to do a dotticure stamping combination. Almost a year ago I attempted a neon combination and I was crazy about it (linked here). Since then, this double combo has become a favorite technique of mine.

Previous trends prevail and Saachi still serves as my inspiration for my manicures. I am pleased because the last time I tried this stamp I had a lot of trouble transferring the image to the stamper. This time it worked with my favorite stamping polish!

I hope you like it!

I dotted with Milani Mauve Medley, Sephora by OPI Mr. Right Now, and Color Club Warhol.

I stamped with Essie No Place Like Chrome and a Pueen Cosmetics plate from the Love Elements collection.

When I sponge, I always like how pink and blue mix the best. It does not matter which shades I use or which brands; just the colors in general! Maybe because the mix is not as jarring? Who knows…

Anyways, it was not until I flipped through my decals that I remembered my favorite butterfly scarf greatly resembled my current nails!

You’ve seen a similar manicure for the “fashion-inspired” prompt of the OMD 2 challenge back in July.

I rather like this more recent nail art better. It looks cleaner; it is fun to see how my ability evolves!

 

Sponged Butterfly Decals | The Rite of AgingI started with 2 coats of Color Club Warhol as my base.

I detailed with a sponge-tip applicator, Dance Legend 373, Barry M Matte Rhossili, Emily de Molly Candy Coated and Milani Power Periwinkle.

I used buttefly Pueen Cosmetics water decals on select “accent” nails.
