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.

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 started with 2 coats of Dance Legend 373 as my base. I loved how this color looked on me! I can’t wait to wear it again!

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.
