Classes started up for me yesterday, so I decided to do some fun nail art for the first day of school. A little bit of rainbow never hurt anyone!
I started with a base of No Place Like Chrome by Essie. I had seen a good review of this polish, but I did not like the formula on this one. It was streaky and a bit thick, and if I painted over an area, the brush would pull the polish and create bald spots. Maybe some polish thinner will help it out?

Having a cute design on my nails always cheers me up. If I have to wake up at 8 in the morning for class, at least my nails are bright and happy!
Wow, your nails look really amazing, but I didn't really get how you made the dots so well and just to cheer you up I have to wake up at 6 in the morning for school :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I used to wake up at 6 am for high school, so at least in college it's later...and I only have to wake up at 8 am 2 days a week. But that's awful for you :( mornings aren't fun!
DeleteAnd as for the dots, you can find dotting tools on Amazon for very cheap. I have these:

If you just put a dot of polish on a paper plate, you can dip the dotting tool in the polish and then onto your nail to create dots :) It's very simple and you have a lot of possible designs!
