Dotting Tool Lace

I looked at my naked nails and was itching to get some polish on them.  I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I painted a nice base color of purple. I've had this purple bottle for years! I just never seem to get around to using it.

The other day my friend Keely did a quick manicure on herself to teach me how to stamp properly. Like I have said before... she is my "Go To" person for nail art questions. I loved what she did. She used a lace stamp with two alternating colors. I loved it! (Hope she doesn't mind that I stole her picture and am posting it here). It was a great manicure to show off her beautiful new Mother's Ring her children gave her for Mother's Day.

So as I said, I was looking at my naked nails and I wanted to do something. I tried stamping again, but I came to the conclusion that my plates are just not good enough. I have seen the Konad Plates in person and they have deeper grooves. My Plates aren't that deep. So it makes sense that I can do it great with her plates, but not at all with mine. So next month I will invest in one or two good plates.

I loved the lace and decided to try that. I have been doing computer graphics for over 15 years, and I knew how to make lace in Paint Shop Pro... so I thought I might give it a try with nail polish. I liked the end result... not bad for a first try at it. However I am OCD and I hated that I went too far over with the white than I intended. But I will definitely try this one again.

The Purple I used was 60 Seconds Vinyl Shine by Rimmel #872 Climax.
The White was Jordana #090 White.
Then I used some dotting tools. A Large tip and a very tiny tip.
Pretty Simple!!

I will definitely try and perfect this one.. because I think if done right it will be very pretty!

Happy Nailing!
