Playful Polkadots Nail Art

Playful Polka-dots

A fun fresh polka-dotted design for any occasion!

1. Apply a base-coat to your nails, I use Sally Hansen Maximum Growth
2. Paint your nails your desired background color, I used Sinful Colors in Pullover (golden yellow creme)
3. (optional) *after waiting more than 4 hours* Tape off your nail so that you can only make polka-dots along a set area, this will give you cut off polka-dots as seen on second finger from the left.
4. Get a large dotting tool or the fat side of a wooden skewer and make a few big dots. I recommend doing this in one or two colors. I used Sinful Colors Folly (hot pink creme) and Sinful Colors Aquamarine (aqua creme).
5. Take a small dotting tool, a pin, or the other side of the wooden skewer to paint little dots around the big ones. I recommend using two or three colors for this step. I used the same pink and blue as before.
6. (optional) Find another object to make dots with (bobby pin, pencil tip) and add some medium sized dots for more dimension.

Remember you can change the color combination for any season/occasion!

Enjoy (:

Blue on Blue Stitched NOTD

Stitched Nail of the Day

A cute blue on blue design inspired from a lovely nail-blog I've just discovered!

Products used:

• Sinful Colors (lighter blue) in Aquamarine


• LA Colors Art Deco nail polish striper in white


• Pure Ice (darker blue) 

From afar you don't really see the two different colors as much. If you have two colors that are even closer together, I highly recommend that to get a more subtle effect.

Up close you can see all I did was paint the nail lighter blue, add stripes of dark blue and dashed lines of white.

I just put the white lines wherever I wanted to make the blue lines end. Some lines were a little too thick or wispy along the edges so I just covered it with the "stitches"!

Here is my inspiration from blognailedit!

Stitched Together

Outer Space NOTD

This blackish color from Spoiled is my previously mentioned dupe for Smoke and Ashes from the Capitol Colors collection by China Glaze. I actually like it better because the green shimmer is smaller and more apparent. It also costs only $1.99! I guess you can't see it very well in the photos...I'll take a better picture next time I wear it.

Colors used:
Spoiled by Wet N Wild in Parking Meter Expired
Orly nail striping polish in Silver
NYC glitter top cost in White Lights Glitter

China Glaze Capitol Colors & Sally's Haul

I got them at Sally's for $4.99 each with my Sally's card. They are $5.99 without.

LUXE AND LUSH-- flaky top coat. Reflects all colors not just one family. It was much easier to remove than a normal glitter you just need the polish remover to soak through the clear polish and then the flakes will just come off with slight coaxing. (this is my experience using the Target brand strengthening nail polish remover.)








RIVETING-- Bright, bold orange with orange shimmer and sparkle. The first picture captures the color of the polish better. But you can see the sparkles in the second.








HOOK AND LINE-- browny silver. I wasn't planning to buy this one but when I saw it in real life I thought it was soo cool! It's not just plain silver.








The last one I got but not least is my first chrome-foil polish. It's Harvest Moon, which was originally called Cinna-mon before the copyright issues. It's a hard to photograph insanely sparkly foil and one of the few polishes that looks way better on the nail than in the bottle.

Cherry Blossom NOTD

Colors inspired by the Arizona Tea bottles. I can't remember the flavor...But it's the blue with blossoms.

My blossoms look more like buds in most cases...

Polishes and Paints used:
Minty blue: Essence
Brown: acrylic paint
Dusty rose: Jordana in grape
White: acrylic Paint in vanilla
Glitter: China Glaze in Luxe and Lush


Happy 2nd day of Spring!!
