Essie Dots Nail Art

 some pr samples

I recreated a dotted mani I made a coupe years ago, this time using all Essie polishes.

The base is Essie Ballet Slippers., such a classic, perfect milky white with a hint of pink.  The dots are Have a Ball, Strut Your Stuff, Sunset Sneaks and Play Date.

Have a great day!

Twinsie Tuesday Mani to Match your Handbag

Hiya Dolls

 

The theme for TT this week is a mani to match your handbag.  I knew straight away which bag I was going to get my inspiration from!  It is a Dexter bag and it screams Spring!  It has multicolored abstract dots all over it.  I was able to find polish colors that were very similar, and I love how it turned out.

 

 

I used OPI Get Me To The Taj On Time as my base coat and then with my dotting tool I just layered all the colors on top of each other til I was happy with the look.  The polishes I used were OPI Don't Mess With OPI, Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh?, Italian Love Affair and Conquistadorable Color, Essie Parka Perfect, China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, Revlon Fashionista and Color Club Wicker Park.

Twinsie Tuesday Marching Orders

Hiya Dolls

 

The theme 'Marching Orders' for Twinsie Tuesday was a popular one and we are doing it again this week.  Each Twinsie was randomly matched with another and we had to give or recieve 'marching orders' from that Twinsie. 

 

I got my marching orders from Lakeisha, and she asked that I do a mani with stripes and dots.  I used Zoya Aurora and Butter London HRH for my mani.  I used striping tape on my ring finger, and just a dotting tool on my pointer.

Dotty

I gave dots a try.  They were obviously really easy to do, and I think they looked cute in real life!  I used Essie Better Together for my base, 3 coats.  And for the dots I used, Revlon Coral Me Wild, Essence Choose Me, and L.A Girls Fairytale.

Mattified

And Essie Better Together on it's own.  I really really really loved this soft jelly pink.  After 2 coats it still wasn't opaque, but I actually liked seeing my nail line!!
