I LOVE polka dots. They're so cute and feminine. Raj recently bought me a dress covered in them (which I love) and today, when I got back from work, I decided to add some on top of the varnish that I already had on to create this adorable look.
The base colour is one of my L'Oreal Paris Color Riche varnishes in Blue Reef. It's a beautiful deep teal with a cream formula that gives good coverage with one coat and is completely opaque in two.
On top of this I used a pointed clay tool that I had to create white polka dots with my white OPI nail varnish. I don't know the name of this one, it came in a mini set that I bought on the way back from my holiday last year. It's a white that I usually use for French tips.
I actually can't stop gazing at my dotty nails. I've been watching the Olympic Opening Ceremony tonight and every time I picked up my phone to talk to text/facebook my eyes were drawn to them.
I don't constantly text, by the way, but I had to do something to fill some gaps when all 200+ countries were marching!
Apologies if this post doesn't make too much sense. I started it before the ceremony and am now ridiculously tired!
What do you think of this polka dot nail look?
Did you watch the Olympic opening ceremony too?
How fun! Love the nail look:)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've found that the dots don't even need to be perfect to look good. It's a really easy, pretty look.

Thank you! I'm actually trying rather hard to paint them so that they don't match, I think I keep posting things that are too similar! I just happen to love greens and polkadots a lot.
DeleteYou should definitely try your hand at some nail art. Things like this are super easy and a lot less frustrating than anything that involves nail stickers that you then have to peel off (taking your undercoats of varnish with it ><).
I'll head on over to you blog and take a look. Thank you again!
