Sir Dotalot

# I like big dots and I cannot lie # 

I've been planning a manicure in the pattern of a knitted dress I own for a long time.  When the dotted lines idea came onto the scene, I knew it would be the perfect way to execute my dress pattern.  However, I've chosen an entirely different colour scheme as I wanted to wear my favourite raspberry polish: Zoya "Moxie".




In this manicure I used: Zoya "Moxie", Zoya "Perrie", Butter London "Lillibet's Jubilee", Zoya "Demi", Catherine Arley (I've forgotten the number!), Essie "Navigate Her" and Color Club "Foil Me Once".

Dotter Who

"Knock, Knock"
"Who's There?"
"Dotter"
"Dotter Who?"
....Boom Boom...


Today's manicure is inspired by the blogger Chalkboard Nails who posted a pic on instagram of some of her amazing manicures and there was a nude dotticure similar to the above.  I have an office BBQ tomorrow night and decided to wear one of the dresses I took to Mauritius and never wore and the fabric just called for this pattern to adorn my nails.

The base is my first time using Cult Nails "Time Traveller" hence that old Doctor Who joke above ;)  Atop "The Doctor" sits a galaxy of dots made with Nubar "Faded Putty", Essie "Navigate Her", OPI "Jade is the New Black", Color Club "Lavendarling" and China Glaze "Purple Panic".

Here is my manicure with the fabric of my lovely dress!

Spring Skittle #2

An update on my spring skittle from yesterday.  I've done a whole nail in Essie "Going Incognito" and Zoya "Moxie" and on my index I have added Color Club "Holiday Splendor":

Spring Skittle

I'm springing into Easter with this skittle but I think it will be gracing my hands for one day only!  I'm not too keen on two of the fingers so I think I shall swap three of them tomorrow.....

In this manicure, I used the following:

Thumb: China Glaze "Laced Up" with Zoya "Purity"
Index: Zoya "Kirsten" with Konad butterfly in Konad white
Middle: Color Club "Lavendarling" with Orly "Blue Collar", Laced Up, CG "Grape Pop" and "Happy Go Lucky"
Ring: Essie "Navigate Her" with a L'oreal frosted pink, Zoya "Ciara" and Essie "Going Incognito"
Pinky: Nubar "Mod Agua" with Orly striper.

The Bright Stripes


I share a love of black, white and red with The White Stripes but I didn't use those colours for this manicure!

I did this manicure yesterday morning on a day I took off work to spend time with my best friend Alice, it may have been sunny all week but we had indoor plans to go to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery which is conveniently located five minutes from my house!

For this manicure I freehanded stripes on a base of Nubar "Classic Camel" with Essie "Navigate Her" and "Armed and Ready" and Zoya "Ciara": 

In the sunshine!
