Spotty Rainbows

SURPRISE! I’m back in the nail polish blogging world!!


This morning as I was perusing Pinterest, I saw this lovely manicure by Goose’s Glitter:


Isn’t that just so awesome?! A colorblindness test, in a manicure! I love it! It totally inspired me to create a somewhat similar design on my own nails:

I love it. It’s so bright and happy! …and totally distracting, not gonna lie. :)

But that could just be because it’s been a while since I’ve done awesome nail art [I’m more of a “pick your favorite color and paint them nicely and maybe do an accent nail” kind of a girl].

Here are the products I used:

Bonding Basecoat [Salon Sciences], Wedding White [Confetti], Keys To My Karma [OPI], Aire of Orange [old formula Orly], Solar Power [China Glaze], Four Leaf Clover [China Glaze], Dating a Royal [OPI], Out The Door Topcoat.

You can use a dotting tool to create the dots, but since I don’t own a dotting tool…I used a round toothpick! If you file down the point [I used my glass nail file], it works like a charm. I used to use the toothpicks without filing the point, but that causes the polish to drag and not look as nice.

AND. CAN I JUST SAY. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS BASE/TOP COAT COMBO. It works so well!
And a little extra for your personal enjoyment…some lovely wall art from my friends’ home where I am staying for a few days!

Sarah was an awfully artistic child, so I’m told :)

Thanks for reading!
