Teal Gradient With Dot Accents

Yay! I'm so happy to show this to you! This is my first post for Teal Tuesdays and I had a lot of fun doing it, it was sort of a surprise favourite. I had initially just done the gradient to play with a couple new teals I had, and once it was on I wanted to do something a little more fancy with it.

I was staring into my nail supply stuff and thought, okay well dots are always nice, and they are, but what I like is that the lightest colour and the darkest colour look so much lighter or darker respectively when contrasted like they are. It ties things together nicely too if I do say so myself.

Anyways, picture spam! Here you go.

Woo! If I were to do this again I'd wait a couple seconds more before top coating, I smudged a couple dots and it bothered me, but what can you do? Hope you liked it!

Orange with Black Glitter

Halloween is great and I haven't posted anything particularly festive yet, so here you are. I used some black glitter flakes so get the gradient and added a bit of black polish to the tips of my nails first so that they would be totally black. Not sure what I'm intending with my accent finger but I liked doing it.

I don't have much to say about this, orange and black are certainly strong colours though, I kept noticing this one.

Pictures pictures!

Would you like to see more halloween designs? I think I'd like doing something more complicated, I'm loving what I see other people doing!

Dollish Polish Spank You Very Much

I adore this polish, absolutely adore it. This is Dollish Polish Spank You Very Much over Sally Hansen Blue It and I can't even say how much I love it.

This glitter applies really well and has a great range of cool colours in it. I wore it for a long time since I used it right after I broke my pinky nail and was worried about how well my patch would hold. You might be able to tell since I feel like my pinky nail looks a little more bulky than usual but hopefully not, in person no one looks long enough to be able to tell at least.

I've got a bunch of pictures here, really I can't say how much I love this, it's so shimmery and multihued. I got it from llarowe by the way, they have a great site.

Before I removed it I played with a couple things over top, first a matte top coat here:

And then a dark water marble over the other hand here, it is really subtle, not sure if I'd do it for a proper design, what do you think?

Oh, and I tried out lining up some glitter pieces along my pointer finger as well, whoa does that ever take a long time! It was fun so I figured I'd let you see that too since I'm including the other silly things I tried out.

Thanks for reading!
