The Beginning + Simple Retro Summer Fun!

So, I have decided to start up my own nail blog, posting my mani of the week on facebook isnt everyones cup of tea, so this seems like a good outlet ;P Anyhow I shall see how this goes, hopefully learn a few things along the way, maybe inspire a few people? I am not a professional by any means but I do know how to rock my polish (at least I think so, and really isnt that all that counts? :P)

So, Ive been feeling really retro lately, and I dont think anything screams that more than classic red with polka dots (...I so want a polka dotty dress to go with this mani...alas that is for another blog lol)

Anywho! Enough with my babblings! Onto the manicure :)

I wanted to keep this really simple and clean, after all it is summer and all, and who wants to be cooped up all day doing a pain stakingly complicated manicure, when they can be out enjoying the beautiful weather!

Here is what I used for this Mani

1.Nail Polish Remover 

2.Red and White Polish

3.Dotting Tool              

4.Cotton Swabs            

I started out with two coats of China Glaze's Hey Sailor! From the Anchor's Away collection I do believe, I absolutley adore China Glaze, most polishes you could probably get away with just one coat, old habits die hard for me though so I used two.

After that has dried, take your dotting tool, if you dont have one of these don't despair! A tooth pick or a bobby pin that has been bent straight will work just as well; Dip your dotting tool into the white polish, I used Sally Hansens White Out, and simply add dots to wherever you desire. I did a row of three dots, then a row of four, repeat until entire nail is covered in prettyful polka dots.

And Wa-La! Easy peasy lemon squeezy ;P You could do this on your entire hand, I chose to just do it on just 2 accent fingers.

Happy Polishing! :)
