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!

This look actually took me a couple of days. It was not labor intensive or particularly difficult but I felt like if I attempted the full look I would mess it up. I decided to leave the gradient for the evening and finished the dots today.

I hope you like the final result! I am very pleased with this. The dots came out exactly how I envisioned because a little practice never hurts!

Press sample.

Here is another nail art look with the new Class Act polishes from SinfulColors! The word on the nail art streets is SinfulColors polishes watermarble well and in my experience they do; the real question, however, is how well do the demi-mattes marble when mixed with regular cremes? Check out the photo below and draw your own conclusions!

I hope you like it!

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!

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!”

I really don’t understand why sometimes my camera decides to take different types of pictures at different points in the day. I take my photos in the same room, inside the house, away from natural light…so, I would think the photos would be unaffected. My phone is quite odd sometimes. My photos are pretty subpar today but I really couldn’t win the fight. Hopefully when I do the last prompt tonight it will no longer throw its tantrum!

Anyways, I hope you like my nail art inspired by my Jonathan Adler bag! I saw this about a year ago on the Gilt.com website and immediately bought it. No hesitations or questions. I needed this bag.

Hope you like it!

I don’t think I have done an asymmetrical dotticure for the challenge! Seriously, Monica?? Well, I rectified the situation and loved the final result.

My birthstone is Amethyst and I couldn’t be more thrilled! I love purple. And, interestingly, it’s the only non-gold, silver jewelry I wear. I don’t think it has anything to do with it being my birthstone but I just like it the best! If I ever get married I don’t want diamonds on the rings. I want amethysts!

 

I didn’t want to use silver again but the purple just didn’t look right against any other metallic colors! That’s okay, though, it’s a totally different nail art!

Patterns…What are patterns? They are recurrent shapes or lines of any colors. That means I can do absolutely anything with this prompt. Initially, I wanted to stamp but I stared at every single “pattern” and had no idea what to do with it!

So, I back peddled a little and went with quick and easy dots. I don’t know if it technically counts as a pattern as it doesn’t repeat on each nail…but it is the same across the hand…so, it’s a pattern, right??
