What About A Polka Dot Puzzle?

First of all and most of all: look at my new blog design! :D
My very own Superman did it and it's all for me - best boyfriend in this galaxy and any other existent ones, my biggest supporter and motivator of this here blog, no doubt! <3

I mean, just look at the header with the «Nail It! Will Ya?»! 
Adorable or what? :) Always rooting for me and not letting me give up when I get too frustrated over some technique I do not yet master! *.*

And now... onto today's nails, which were my entry for Sophie's Beauty Polka Dot Competition .

I wanted to try out something I hadn't before but still nothing that took me too many hours from my beauty sleep, like in the previous competition ;)

So I went with a design I've seen and loved from one of Lucy's Stash guest posts here.

Now, I'm a very girly girl and I've lost count to how many pink polishes my drawers contain. I even try to control myself and not invade the whole blog with pink manicures though it's very hard sometimes ;) haha

But of course I didn't want to be no straight copycat, I wanted to somehow recreate the look with my own colours and this is what I came up with:

This is the picture I sent Sophie :)
I started with two coats of Inglot O2M 665.

And for the dots I've used:

Pink - Inocos Ser Alma

Light Avocado Green - Dermacélsia N.70
Dark Green - Dermacélsia N.71

(although it came out as a weird turquoise shade, due to the other colours influence, I guess...)

I've used my orange stick for these dots and it took me a good amount of patience, as with every four or so dots I had to clean it up with acetone, to avoid the big lump you get when the polish starts drying up underneath. 

I wanted all my dots to look even and I think they came out pretty 'neat', don't you? :)

I also tried to even out the space in between each colour line of dots and, though not always milimeter accurate, I am quite pleased with it!

I don't think it will be enough to win me a place among winners, but... it's always fun to participate! :D

Can't wait to see what the others came up with and hope you're as excited as I am ;)

Let me know what you think in the comments below and hope to see your design alongside mine tomorrow :D

Ohhhh, and, of course, let me know what you think of the new design. I think it looks pretty awesome but... I should, right? ;)

Hugs & Kissies,
