Hey nail fans! Day 12 of the OMD Rather Awesome Challenge is DOTS! For me, dotting is one of the easiest designs to do. And normally I don’t do a lot of dotticures because I feel like it’s cheating somehow. I know that doesn’t make any sense at all…. but I guess I feel like they’re so simple I wonder if people will be like, “Come on Crafty, gimme something more original than that!” That’s dumb, I know.
For today’s dotticure I wanted to go with a brown and pink combo. I love those colors together- but after rifling through my stash I realized I have like NO browns!! I have a few shimmery/metallic shades, some nudes and some that are kinda orangey…. but as far as regular old browns- I got nothing. I feel an online shopping spree in my future!!!!!!! So instead of brown and pink I dug into the dark recesses of my stash to find a few nice warm brownish colors. Here’s what I’m wearing:
creamy yellow base color ♥ 2 coats of Zoya Jacqueline 🙂
putty colored dots ♥ OPI Don’t Pretzel My Buttons
brown shimmery dots ♥ Maybelline Ultimate Wear in Tarnished Taupe (this polish is as old as the hills!)
mauve dots ♥ Sally Hansen Teflon Tuff in Wood Violet Cream (another verrry old bottle)
All dots were applied with a large dotting tool from amazon. What do you think? And do you have a favorite brown? I think I need some nice creamy brown shades so lemme know if you have any recommendations! Thanks!
