Summer Dots

It's been such a relaxing summer for me so far. I've taken a month long trip to Hong Kong to visit my relatives and while I was there I also made side trips to Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Thailand. To celebrate the summer I did this dotty mani :)

It was a totally random idea but I think it turned out pretty nice no?

 My base color was Cult Nails Enticing which I think is such a pretty pink...and the formula is fab ;)

Then using Julie G's Tangerine Dream and Sugar Rush I randomly dotted dots on my ring finger and thumb and followed the curve of my nail on the rest of my nails

I love how girly and summer-y this mani is :) I think I might use this color scheme again one day soon :)

Light it up Blue for Autism Awareness :)

Today is World Autism Awareness day and to signify this day lots of bloggers are wearing blue manis.... here's mine :)

Once again I did DOTS.....but I actually copied this dot design from one of my buddies over at Things I Love At The Moment..

 Isn't it so pretty?!

I used Cult Nail's Princess as my base color...2 coats..

Then I swiped 2 thin coats of Picture Polish Cosmos on 3 of my tips..

Then I dotted 2-3 dots of Princess right on the diagonal swipe of Cosmos....then using a smaller dotting tool I placed a dot of Cosmos in the middle of the Princess dots...

For my thumb and ring finger I put on 2 coats of Girly Bits Smurf Dance over Princess.

~Viola!

World Diabetes Day

November is diabetes awareness month and the 14 is actually World Diabetes Day. So along with a group of other lovely ladies, a bunch of us bloggers and nail polish aficionados got together and did blue manis to raise awareness about this illness.

 I used Cult Nails Time Traveler as undies for Deborah lippmann's Across the Universe and my accent nails I used Essie- Coat Azure as undies for Lynnderella's Ghost of a Chance...then I matted the whole thing with Essie's Matte about you...

So first step is 2 coats of Time Traveler and Coat Azure on the nails... *only 1 coat is shown in this picture*

Then put a coat of Deborah Lippmann's Across the Universe on the Time Traveler nails (you can put more then one coat for more depth if you want)

 some bottle shots of the lovely Ghost of a Chance...

I added one coat of Ghost of A chance to my Coat azure nails...

This is what the result was after I put on my top coat of Seche Vite...

 but I felt like it was lacking a certain something I couldn't put my finger on...so I slapped on a coat of Essie's Matte about you and wow... I just love mattified glitters...

 Macro shots of my nails....totally love the matte..

 Voila~
