Oh boy, am I behind on sharing my nail arts on the blog! Long story short (and a dedicated post coming up), I’ve been really really ill for…months. This has to be one of my worst years since my diagnosis and I’m not talking pain or fatigue. Just plain old sick!

Anyways, here is a fun purple dotticure I did during February for Valentine’s Day. The asymmetrical dotticure is always RA-friendly and easy to achieve. Scroll all the way down to see a tutorial on a similar look! But, before you do, don’t forget to…

If you look at the 31 Day Nail Art challenge tab on my main page you’ll see I never ever do the half-moon prompt. I just don’t like how it looks and it kind of confuses me. This year, I racked my brains for an idea and when none came I decided on a recreation from a previous year. Until, it dawned on me. Why don’t I dot the half-moon? After all, I love me a good dotticure!

Needless to say, I did end up loving this look. I think the dots make the half-moon look less obvious. What do you think??

I was inspired by a polka dot look @coewlesspolish made for the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge. She has beautifully shaped nails and equally wonderful designs. I knew I had to re-create her delicate dotted nail art but couldn’t wait until the end of the month!

The last couple of days were hard for me as I didn’t particularly like the nail art I put together so I am doubly thrilled with today’s dotticure. I hope you like it too!

The 31 Day Nail Art Challenge Polka Dot theme is a dotticure lover’s favorite day!! Dotticures are easy, cute and just plain fun! There are endless possibilities and it takes just a few minutes to complete. The best part is, you can create the look with nail polishes and bobby pins — making it super wallet-friendly.

These dots are so fun and remind me of confetti! I absolutely adore how this look came out!

Asymmetrical dotticures are one of my all time favorite techniques and make an appearance on the blog and Instagram weekly. However, I always lean towards the same color combinations (namely purples and greens). For today’s polka dot prompt I pushed myself to try something new and guess, what?…I love it!

I do purple dotticures more than any other nail art look. I think I did one just a few weeks ago! I don’t know why I gravitate towards them but, I try to use different colors so it is not the exact same every single time!

The purple prompt of the 31 Day Challenge coincided with the first day of my old high school. Posts from my classmates popped up all over Instagram and Facebook and I felt nostalgic. Our school colors were purple and gold and I was on the purple team!! Perfect, right??

I went heavy on the purple for obvious reasons but injected a little pop of gold. Together these colors look pretty good but I have memories of gold actually being bright yellow. And, that and royal purple don’t really mesh well!

Asymmetrical dotticures are my second favorite look (after sugar-spins). I like that there is no pattern so I do not have to painstakingly measure the area between dots. They do not have to be perfectly sized to their neighbors and the eye plays tricks so the nail always looks the same as the others.

I hope you like it!
