31DC2015, 4th of July, Barry M, blogging community, dotillism, dotticure, Formula X Nails, Milani, Nail Art

On the Fourth of July I was in the middle of a bad flare and only managed a simple red, white and blue glitter gradient. I used today’s 31-Day Challenge to try out the design I actually wanted to do and I really dig it! I wish I had the dexterity and energy for it…maybe next year!

I hope you like it too!

For today’s prompt I went with a fun pillow pattern I pinned from HauteLook. I tried to recreate the circular pattern but it never turned out quite right so I decided on a diagonal one instead.

I hope you like it.

#31DC2015 – Polka Dot Nails

I redeemed my pseudo-photography skills from yesterday’s neon debacle and did another gradient today. Nothing goes better with polka dots than gradients…and maybe water marbles but everyone had the same idea so I went with the gradient instead. If you don’t know what I mean check out the Instagram hashtag 31DC2015 – beautiful water marbles and dots galore…none of which I can hold a torch to. I didn’t want my measly marble getting lost in the shuffle!

This gradient-dot combo came out exactly the way I wanted and the dots are almost identical on each nail! Progress! I hope you like it as much as I do!

I don’t have a lot to say on today’s manicure except that I cannot stop dotting on paper! Why not continue the trend on my nails?

I hope you like it!

 

Girly Bits Swatch - Supersonic | The Rite of Aging

 

I took a quick swatch photo of the base color. I really should wear this on it’s own much more often. It looks great against my skin and it’s the perfect neon without screaming “HI! I’M HERE!”

OMD3 – Polka Dot Dottilism Nail Art

Check the sidebar for more information.

I went through a huge dotillism phase back in high school. I even decorated all my graduation invitations with dots (which PS. took a good few months!) Then, I went to college and never found the time.

Recently, dotillism has sky-rocketed into popular culture, especially in the nail art world, and I thought I would re-visit it. While my students were working on their comic books during summer camp I doodled and dotted while I waited to check their work. I even got   some of them into it!

After yesterday’s nail art debacle I sat down, focused and FORCED MYSELF TO GET THIS DONE. There is room for improvement since this is my first attempt at true dotillism on my nails but I am seriously digging the end result.

Disclaimer: This is not RA-friendly.

I hope you like it!
