Leopard print: Leopard on Teal

I LOVE this. It just screams "wild child" to me! Either that or "cougar"... take your pick. This is remarkably easy. I just used my awesome dotting tools for all of the work. HERE is a great tutorial (why reinvent the wheel with ANOTHER tutorial?) for this surprisingly easy look.
RAWR!!!  Leopard print on For Audrey
ANY time I use my For Audrey it makes me smile because it was given to me by a good friend. But now, oh, I LOVE it! I'm going to keep trying these awesome leopard prints out! Here's what I used:
Pure Ice Black Rage, no name bronze, China Glaze For Audrey, dotting tool

Fun With Dots: Rainbow

This manicure was fast and easy. I LOVE these dotting tools my brother got me for Christmas. THESE are the ones I have.  My husband works all over the place and he happened upon a Sally's beauty supply shop. He called me to ask if I "needed" anything--um, yes! Finger Paints just came out with this amazing Special Effects collection that are flaky bits of pretty in a top coat. Apparently that sneaky husband of mine bought the whole collection for me, but he only gave me Asylum for now.  My birthday is just around the bend so I only have to wait a bit longer! But look how lovely:

I'm not so crazy with how the yellow and green turned out, but eh. I'll just have to find the time to try again, right? Here's the line up of polishes I used:
Art Deco Pink, Yellow, Green, china glaze Purple Panic (I added this to my thumb nail), Pure Ice Black rage, Finger Paints Asylum, Dotting Tool.

And yes, somehow I didn't get the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Blue Me Away in this photo. that was a lot of polish for one nail "didding"!

Fun With Dots: White/Teal/Orange

Did everyone have a great holiday? I did! I got a lot of new polishes to show off too! Here's today's fun manicure:
Fun with Dots!
I did two coats of Nicole Do The Right Thing. I got these great Mash Dotting Tools for Christmas and couldn't wait to break them in! I used them using Nicole My Lifesaver (the teal color) and Pure Ice Super Star (white) to add the fun dots. Super easy.
