Dotty French

This design came out of a failed attempt at dry marbling.  I thought that dry marbling would be easy, maybe it was the white I chose.  Anyway, I wanted something colorful and ended up doing dots again. 

I started with 2 coats of China Glaze White on White.  I am really starting to hate this white!  The application is horrible!  This is the white I tried to dry marble with, horrible.  I think this is going into the stamping pile and staying there!



My next step was to add the dots to each finger with a dotting tool.
Here are the colors:
Pinky - Zoya Pippa
Ring - Pure Ice Wild Thing
Middle - Sinful Colors Nail Art Moon Light
Index - OPI Fly
Thumb - OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips






Next, I added 1 coat of NL.



! coat of NYC.



Last, I added a French Tip with each color and 2 coats of NYC.



I had a serious case of shaky hand today.  My right hand has some issues! :)  Overall I like the outcome of this design.  I really like what the French Tip added to the mani!  And it is very colorful!!

  4. The dots alone are very pretty, but you're right - the French added that little extra to it. :)
