Roses, bows and dots, Oh My!


Over the past week Sydney has been so gloomy and finally today the sun is shining brightly hiding every now and then. But the cold weather will not stop my little spring into Spring with some roses.  Just like the title says, Roses, Bows and Dot, Oh My! that's a whole lot to do on just one hand! The same way to do the roses as I explained on my Oh Roses! post which you can find here. And I used a bobby pin dipped in OPI Alpine Snow to create the polka dots.



I didn't want all the nails to look the same so each nail is something different.
Thumb- Revlon Just minted, just plain mint
Index- Clear coat, with vintage roses using Natio Raspberry Rays, Revlon Windfall (leaves)
Middle- Mint base with white polka dots, OPI Alpine Snow
Ring - Mint base, optional bow attached using some topcoat
Pinky - Mint base, vintage roses

I think this nail design is super cute! and works well in Spring and Summer. The bow tends to get in the way a little during everyday activities like typing on the keyboard, and even washing your hair. Every know and then the bow would fall off for me and then I'd just reapply it with a spot of top coat and hold it against the nail so it would adhere better. Yipee for something to brighten up the day. And I have some very exciting news! I've finally decided to purchase some nail stamps so stay tuned for some more fancy but easy nail art.
