Purple Panic... Dotted

I love neon manicures.  I however do not like a solid color manicure.  I always want to add something to it to jazz it up.  I started out with China Glaze's Purple Panic.  On that note, why do they call it that?  It looks pink to me.  It has a purple/fuchsia flash that makes it lean toward purple. Nevertheless, it is an awesome color.  I then took a dotting tool with black acrylic paint and did random dots.  I then put white dots on top.  They look like perfect bubbles to me.  I had a few coworkers actually think I did stickers for these!  The best part is that the right hand looks just as good.

Sparkly dots!

China Glaze Riveting with an easy dot mani using L.A. Girls Groupie. It is a gorgeous royal purple sparkle polish. Need to wear it on its own soon. Royal purple and neon orange are my two favorite colors. Here they are together in a super simple way. If you don't have a Dotting tool, try a toothpick, a bobby pin, a needle head, a defunct pen... anything! Have at it! Dot to your hearts content.

Candy Wave

I bought China Glaze Riveting the other day. It is gorgeous, sparkly, and orange. I was admiring the glass flecked finish and figured that it went well with some other CGs that I own. I grabbed 108 Degrees, Senorita Bonita, and Blue Iguana and painted them on top in a wavy, non perfect way. The colors make a perfect gradient, and then the blue makes a pop on the tips. They are flashy and I love them. I will definetly be using these colors together again.

Christmas dry marbling with Zoya and Sinful Colors

I love marbling on nails. It's quick to do and you can't really mess it up. This is dry marbling, not water marbling, mind you! For these I painted a base of a pearly white by Sinful Colors called Tokyo Pearl. Then I put a blob of Zoya Ivanka near the cuticle, and then blobbed on Zoya Isla across the tips. Take a toothpick, needle, or marbling tool and make swirls through the polish.Clean any off that spills onto the sides. Wait a few minutes, put on a quick dry topcoat, and you are done!

Black on gold splatter

Here is another fun splatter.  The gold is a franken. I started with a gold from Sinful Colors that was too sheer.  I just kept adding gold glitter to it until it was pretty opaque.  If you are not satisfied with your polish, don't be afraid to play around it to make it useable!

Blue & Black on Green splatter

Splatter manicures are fun and easy.  You should try one sometime! Paint your base and then pick a coordinating color or two.  Drop some of the polish on a sheet of plastic or paint pallette and dip a straw in it.  Then blow the polish onto your nail.

I started with a base of China Glaze Cha Cha Cha, then splattered on a black cream and China Glaze Frostbite for the blue.

Easy sponge nail art with Snow Globe

Here is another simple nail art. Base coat, sponge on some fun colors, and cover with glitter!  I used China Glaze Snow Globe for the iridescent glitter top coat.

Neon orange with dots

Here is some simple nail art. All you need is a nail dotter!  I love easy designs like this because anyone can do them with a little patience.  I used a random orange cream and then acrylic paint for the dots.  Some of the bigger dots also have orange acrylic paint in the center of them to mix things up.

I like this picture so you can see my right hand. It is not perfect but it's not so glaring that people comment.
