Hi Pretties! Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and you're looking forward to an explosive New Year! I have just a simple nail of the day for you. We all know that dotticures(manicures featuring dotted patterns) are great standards to fall back on. Here's one for you featuring a color combo that I found really soothing during all the hubbub of the Holiday madness :) Take a look:
When all else fails, get out the old dotting tool, eh? Just kidding, but it does make for a fast, low-concentration manicure for me. If you don't have a dotting tool to help you achieve this look you can use a toothpick, or pick some up on Amazon, they're very budget-friendly. The base polish I used for this manicure is Color Club Baldwin Blues and it's this fabulous nearly cadet blue. Very soothing and calm-water blue for me. Then I used a white acrylic and Misa Hot Couture for the design. Here is Baldwin Blues on its own at two coats:
This picture makes the blue lean a little more green than it does in person. I hope you enjoyed this design and I'll see you back tomorrow for another Saturday Swatchfest. Have a great day ya'll!

Over and out
This is so pretty! I really need to get some dotting tools off of amazon. I didn't realize they were that cheap!

Ya they're a great price- the liner brushes you can find there are very affordable as well, but I find them easily damageable(get bent so they no longer naturally make you a straight line) so I actually prefer to pick out detailing and lining brushes in person at a craft store so you know what quality you're getting.
