Trying My Hand With Dotting!

Hey!
So I tried dotting the other day and I really like it! I think it needs some work and also a dotting tool would help but I think as a first attempt its pretty good. Sorry the cleanup is no good on this one. I love trying new techniques, even if it doesn't turn out great it is a challenge to make it better next time. This one took a really long time but I think it was worth it. I think next time I will try some brighter colors.  Let me know what you guys think! 




Spring Challenge!

Hello!
Ok I just signed up for something great! Its a nail challenge that Mateja from Purple Glitters is having! Its starts April 14th and there is a new mani every fourth day. The whole thing is that everyone participating gets a task that your supposed to do your take on. This challenge has a twist though because there are color combinations that you are supposed to use. I know I am not very good at explaining it but once it starts I am sure you guys will understand. I am really excited for this! Here are the lovely ladies who are participating:

And of course Mateja from Purple Glitters (http://mateja-nails.blogspot.com/p/spring-challenge.htmlwho created the challenge. I am sure there will be many more that will be joining! I am really excited and hope you guys enjoy the craziness that will be enfolding. Nails soon! Bye!

Fashion Statement!

Hello!
It has come to my attention that color blocking is the new trend for spring. I am not a trendy person but I have to say that these nails are pretty darn fashionable. They aren't perfect but they are good enough for me. Plus they are bright and I am a big fan of bright mani's. I might blind others with neon colors but it makes me happy! The colors not the blinding people. I also wanted to thank everyone who is reading my blog! I am almost at 400 views and that makes me totally happy! I will have to do a poll or something to let you guys choose my next project, I think you can do that. I am still new with using this contraption but I will hopefully figure it out! Enough of my random rants and more nails!

I used a white base, which you can pretty much use any brand that works for you. I used Stripe Rite in "Neon Pink" for the second layer and for the blue I used China Glaze in "Frost Bite". Then topped with my favorite top coat which is Sally Hansen's Diamond Strength.
