Dotticure With Ruby White Tips

Hello Readers:

Gosh things have not been going my way the passed few days, my photos turned out horrible for two manis, and then I had a string of under the weather days which means back to the doctor next week for me. Today was a good day for me though so onto my mani today.

Today I have a dotticure for you! (Yay more nail art!) I don't do many polka dot mani's as I always feel my polka dots don't turn out aesthetically pleasing to my eye, but I really wanted to try this one out. I used all Ruby White Tips polishes for this mani, and use dotting tools to create my polka dots.

 

 

I really like the way this one turned out! A definite improvement over my other dotticures. I absolutely LOVE the colors! As my base color I used Ruby White Tips "Lil Drac" from their Batworld.org charity collection. For my polka dots I used "Peekaboo" (also from the Batworld charity collection) and "Crotchless Panties For Everyone".

 

A portion of each bottle sold from the Batworld collection goes towards helping the cute lil bats at Bat World Sancutary. For more information about Bat World check out their website.

 

If you would like to add some lovely Ruby White Tips polishes to your collection check out their Etsy shop.

 

Until next time.

Polka Dot Nail Art

Hello Readers:

I've been experimenting with nail art. I tried a water marbling a couple nights ago but it was a disaster LOL I think it was because I forgot to use filtered water, but I'm going to try it again either tonight or tomorrow to make sure that was the issue. If not back to reading/watching water marbling tips.

So I went back to something more standard. I did a polka dot, that had some dots inside dots. In this mani I used The Polish Bar's "Far Far Away" (a new to me brand which is delightful by the way!), Piggy Paint's "Tip of the Iceberg", and My Ten Friends' "Birthday Earthling".

Overall I think it turned out great. :) I think next time I'll try to see if I can do a floral pattern, or something a little more elaborate (but still simple since I'm new to nail art lol)

Until next time.

My First Nail Art! (A holiday theme!)

Hello Reader(s):

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Y'all are probably getting ready for the holidays coming up. I had a busy but nice weekend myself. Today I'll be posting something a little different. I know so far I've only done reviews of brands so far, but I finally got myself some dotting pens. So I've tried my hand at nail art. I've actually tried doing some nail art freehand twice before but it was so bad I got rid of it right away and went back to basics. Now that I have some tools I actually got a decent nail art mani.

It is by no means perfect as it is my first time using dotting pens but I had fun and am proud of what I accomplished for my first try with them. I wanted to do a holiday mani. I originally wanted to do snowflakes on a navy background but it just isn't doable for me without one of those skinny brushes or needle pens so I had to improvise. Instead I decided on a navy background with silver polka dots with a silver ornament accent nail.

I know this isn't the best photo but it really showed the holo sparkle!

The mani turned about a little more nautical themed color wise than I expected, but overall I really like this mani. I used Darling Diva Polish's Limited Edition: Early Riser, and Darling Diva Polish's Diamond (from their diamond collection). So much sparkle! ^_^ 

If any of you have tips for using the dotting tools or if you have any easy (beginner) dotting tool mani suggestions please feel free to let me know.

Until next time.
