Pale Polkadots

So I have a back log of designs and swatches that I've done over the past couple of years that I'm going to be uploading, starting with this cute polka dot design. 


The base is Essie - Mint Candy Apple (one of my all time favourite mint colours) and the polka dots were done with a dotting tool and an unknown Essie polish. Unfortunately the name has rubbed off but it's just a pale cream coloured polish.

Green Spring nails with yellow flowers

As Spring turned into Summer I realised I hadn't done many Spring nail designs, so I came up with this. The base is a gradient using China Glaze - Be More Pacific, Barry M - Spring Green and Barry M - Racing Green. I topped that off with a coat of Seche Vite (my all time favourite top coat) and then painted on the blades of grass and the flowers with a thin striping brush, a small dotting tool and acrylic paint.

Overall I'm really happy with how these turned out, green is one of my favourite colours but I always have such difficulty trying to incorporate it into my designs.
