Dotted Gradient

Fall has really settled in to this country. The weather has been bleak and gray and just plain awful the last week. I'm not quite ready to dive head first into the dark nails just yet. To brighten my day and mood I made a shiny bright and girly manicure. Dots are my thing, they're fun and easy. As I demonstrated before in this polish design with pink dots. 

Today I used a silver polish as a base and three different shades of pink for the dots. Essie is brilliant at pink creme polishes. She just gets them spot on every time. 

Used for this manicure

Essence Icy Princess

Essie Watermelon for the darkest dots

Essie Off the shoulder for the middle dots

Essie Lovie Dovie for the lightest dots

Dot to the top: A pink nail polish design

As much as I loved my galaxy nails they were already chipped horribly the next day. And I just don't like walking around with chipped nail polish. It's so not chic, haha. No, actually I'm not that anal about it. After banning nail polish for two weeks I was just desperately craving some fun nail designs and I wanted something new. Bring in the pinks!

I grabbed a random selection of pinks, red and purple from my ever growing nail polish collection and a couple of dotting tools in different sizes and set to work. And TA-DA! Here it is. A super cute girly pink nail design. I think it is perfect for spring, what about you?

I think this would be very nice with a minty base and blue and green as dots. Maybe something for later this week?
