Golden Oldie Thursday - Dots

Thursdays prompt was dots. I think I need more practise doing dots. It's harder than it looks, honestly I want perfectly smooth round little dots of polish heaven. What happens in reality is an uneven blob that just looks out of shape and awkward.

I'm so pleased with how they turn out!! I love this dotted gradient effect. simple yet visually stimulating. I was going to do this design on a white base, I'm so pleased that I decided not to. The colours stand their own again Utopia which is like a pale creamy concrete.

I've used 8 Oldies, some pinks, some purples and neutral. From left to right:
Models Own, Utopia. Models Own, Purple Imperial, Simple Pleasures, Purple (unnamed). Models Own, Lilac Dream. Simple Pleasures, Pink (unnamed). Ted Baker, Pale Pink (unnamed) Models Own, Lill's Pink and Models Own, Pink Fizz.

Day 22 in the 33DC - 3 colour gradient + pattern

Day 22 in here and it's 3 colour gradient + pattern time.

I love gradient nails but seam to struggle to get them to look smooth and well bended. Some nails have worked better than others and some just look shit. I don't understand how this happens as do them all the same - well I think I do! I also ran out of time to do a decent clean up but hopefully it doesn't attract to much from the nails.

I've used Barielle, Going to the chapel. Simple Pleasure, mint green and pink for the gradient. All layered over a white base with vertical tape creating the stripes.
