Dotty recreation

One of my (many) favourite blogs to follow is Let Them Have Polish.  She recently did a guest post on Vampy Varnish that really caught my eye.  Admittedly it’s not something I would usually have tried but it looked pretty and I thought I would give it a try. It’s a combination of polka dots (and we all know how much I love those) and taping.  Really very do-able.

I obviously don’t have the same polishes she used and made a mistake here and there but I really just used it as an idea.  So here is my recreation.

 

 

 

I had a few issues with the glare when taking the photo’s and unfortunately didn’t notice until I went through the photo’s after downloading.  It’s nowhere near as awesome as Cristina’s but I actually liked it quite a bit.  I love looking at tutorials and other nail designs and trying to recreate them.  Or more specifically, I like using them as ideas and adapting them.

I used mostly Tip Top polishes.  I will start at pinky (with the solid colour).  I dotted with the same colours.

• Pinky – Tip Top – Orange You Lovely  (Orange)
• Ring – Tip Top – Triple Putty (Grey-ish)
• Middle – Tip Top Blue Meets Green (Blue)
• Pointer – Tip Top – Lemon Fuel (Yellow)
• Middle line – Tip Top – We Have An Agreen-mint (Green)
• Black – Sinful Colors – Black on Black

This was very bright and colourful and I really liked it. More than I thought I would.  I will definitely try it again with other colours too.  I already have an idea of what I want to try so look out for that.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  Ours was full and busy and tiring but great.  I finally got my new iPhone 5 and I am loving it.  When I look at my iPhone 4 now I see it in such a different light.  How fickle we are 🙂
