Nice Things To List: polka dots

Showing posts with label polka dots. Show all posts

Hello there!

This month I am starting on a new challenge from Glam Nails Challenge, and omg guys it's November already!

To start off here are some cool 3D polka dot design! I have been wanting to try these for the longest time! The base I used is FUN Lacquer "Anna", a beautiful purple holographic! I used black and white polish for the polka dots using a dotting tool, easy!

The illusion is pretty dope don't you think? :D

Hi again all!

This prompt is something I've not seen before, it's interesting! Today I embrace the color I don't wear often, and that would be the yellow to orange range. In particular, I have here Paul & Joe nail polish "11". My Mom got me two P&J polishes when she was in Japan and one of them is this little one here, which I did not try for the longest time. I'm guilty.

So here I am thanks to Claire using this polish to good use! Lemme start off by saying that both nail polishes "11" and "12" from P&J are scented and boyyyyyy do they smell really good! Anyway, back to the mani!

I decided to do yellow flowers since I have not done florals in foreverrrr! I did use Revlon "Apricot Nectar" in the flowers to give more dimension". The greens used for the leaves are Barry M "Wakaki" and "Spring Green". I also did a simple polka dot design on my other nail. The white base you see is none other than OPI "My Boyfriend Scales Walls".

I thought that the design was pretty and very refreshing to my surprise! Tell me what you think :)

Dotity, dotty, dot!

Well well, it's time to get my brains going cray-cray! In this manicure I was struggling to visualize which dots should be placed at which areas because there are just so many DOTS!

I used Kure Bazaar - Hipster as the base color and OPI - I Just Can't Cope-acabana for the dots. I used a medium sized and small sized dotting tool for this mani.

I am pretty sure I followed a fellow nailstagrammer but I honestly lost my screenshot of her design! So if you do know who the clever person is, do let me know :)

Tbh, the main purpose of this mani was to try out the color combination. No lying here on the blog! Hence I thought this nail art was a good opportunity to find out! I think that yes, yellow and gray goes pretty nicely together, don't you think?

Hello there!

I have been rather irregular on my posts, I apologize! I have been really busy lately... Anyway here is a mani that I really really really adore! It is so fresh and cute at the same time, plus it includes my favorite spectrum of the color wheel hehehe.

In this nail art, I had stamped on white over Model's Own - Beth's Blue using BornPrettyStor's stamping plate number BP 20 (other mani). I then used white polish and filled in the half moon using a nail art brush.

As for the accent, I wanted to add something cute but simple, so I went ahead with polka dots. Here is the macro shot of my stamping, I think it came out nicely! Not to mention the white goes soooooo well with Beth's Blue! Stay tuned for a swatch of this polish that I got :)

Hey yo there!

I recently snagged a really good deal for a Herschel laptop sleeve! I got this for half price?!?!?! Yes HALF! And the best part is that I do love this design, it has blue my favourite color and the polka dots were really cute!

I was then inspired to do a mani to match with it, take a lookie :D

Here is a close up shot of my nail art. I used Butter London - Cuppa as the base color and then added dark blue polka dots using Jior Couture - I Can Azure You It's Fall and the last step was to cap the top one third of the nail with the same polish.

I do like how these turned out as I find the blue tips and polka dots are just the right amount of edginess and cuteness. What do you guys think?

Hello reader!

Let's start by asking ourselves this: What is the easiest nail art one can achieve? My answer to that would be polka dots!

I set my mind on a deep maroon red to match an outfit and I thought it was too plain and wanted something simple yet fast to do. I resorted to my dotting tool :D

I applied to coats of Chine Glaze - Adventure Red-y and then I used a medium sized dotting tool with a silver polish Sally Hansen - Celeb City. I begin dotting in the polka dot pattern like so:

The outfit to be matched was a maroon sweater that I recently got, the red does match really well, don't you think?

As I was snapping those pictures, it came across my mind that Katy Perry's perfume, Killer Queen was a perfect match for my nails too! How could I not take a picture with it??

Hello there!

Today I have for you a rather simple and dainty design that isn't really my usual stuff. So here is a nude mani, I used OPI - My Vampire is Buff as the base color for all my nails.

Then I added off-white polka dots using OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls. You can see that the contrast of colors are not very evident, but I like it that way. It gives a soft look!

And then, using OPI - DS Classic 031 I created polka dot pattern on my middle finger and also used it as the petals for my flowers on my ring finger. I then finished off the center of the flower with a dot using MBSW.

So here is how it looks like~

I also added a matte topcoat to give this look another feel. I do like this mani more than I thought I would (if that makes sense LOL).

Thanks for reading!
