Dots & Stripes

It doesn't get any simpler than that, trust me!
Today is a no challenge day and I just wanted something nice and simple, very little time consuming but cute just the same :D

So, I came up with dots and stripes on some very funky summery shades ;)

Check it out:






It has been a a long time since I alternated polishes on my nails, so I figured I'd do just that :)
The pretty Granny Smith Apple green you see is Kiko No.391.
And the neon pink is Bitty Professional DC09.




I chose a matte finish to tone down the neon a bit and went with white stripes, done using my Kiss SPA02 White striper.
I wish they'd come out with fuller lines (not thicker, just fuller) but I was feeling kind of lazy and didn't want to layer them ;)




The apple green got some Rimmel London Lemon Drop dots in a random pattern, which is a first for me.
I always tend to go neat and organized on dotticures but this time I wanted it to be a crazy wild one and I must say... not too bad, I like it! :D




Of course I couldn't leave it at that, oh no!
I had to go and ruin it somehow, by adding a flakey topcoat: Ludurana Flocado Vento.
Why don't I learn?! Duh! Less is more, Mina! 
*tsk, tsk*


What do you think: with or without flakies? (I know what you're going to say ;))
Still, I'm going to enjoy these babies today, glad they didn't take me too long! :)


Hugs & Kissies,

  6. What a cute mani. I really enjoy doing simple manis with minimum effort because the end result is usually great. your nails are stunning and even the simplest design looks amazing. And that cute flakey top coat is a lovely little bonus.
