Nail Art: Irregular Dots

Continuing with the freebies, a few days ago I decided to try Ciaté Bon Bon, a near nude with a hint of mauve that I got with July's Marie Claire magazine.

I found it was good formula and application wise, but the colour looked a bit washed out against my skin tone. So I decided it was the perfect background for a nail art design I'd seen some time ago on Pinterest:



I really liked the middle finger on Jennifer Love Hewitt's right hand so I copied that design on my left ring finger. Every other nail was inspired by her mani.

I used OPI Black Onyx and two dotting tools. I found that this was one of the easiest nail art designs ever because you don't have to match every nail, so I even managed to do my right hand with some success. A steady(ish) pulse and a table to rest my hands on was all I needed!

I've had this on for four days now and I love it. The photos I took when it was fresh came out terrible so I had to re-take them today before removing it; you'll have to excuse my cuticles on the pictures below:

      Gracias señora! :-) Tiene lindas manos ella, por lo que se ve. Este nail art me encantó, yo le agregué ideas como la medialuna o la francesita de puntos. Me lo haría en todos los colores de tan fácil que es!

      A mí me pasa igual, me parecía medio soso. Hasta mi marido me dijo que era muy pálido. Los lunares le dan otra dimensión :-)

    I had tried something similar some time ago and nearly failed. I like how you did it!
