Polka Dots and Color Blocking Nails

About This Manicure

Today was a perfect day, here in Michigan, so I wanted to do a fun, colorful, Springy manicure. I grabbed two Essie nail polishes that I just purchased, Mojito Madness and Splash of Grenadine, and went to work. I knew I wanted to do something with mixed patterns and that one of those had to be polka dots. I just love polka dot nail art!

For the polka dot nails, I used a base of NYC French White Tip and then used two different sized dotting tools to make "polka dot stripes." On my thumb I did some color blocking. Again, I used French White tip as a base and then, when dry, used striping tape to section off my nails. I used a nail art brush to color in the blocks and then removed the tape. I topped everything off with Seche Vite to protect my design and add lots of shine!
