Nail Art: Daisy Dots

Dots dots dots. I just can't get enough of the little buggers. I've been doing so many designs with them that i'm seeing them in my sleep.  So I thought i'd induce one more night of dotty dreams before giving my tools a break and trying something new, and so far, this is my favourite!

Even though it is about 2 degrees most days, there's still sun when i'm walking to work at 8am, so therefore I have concluded it is still summer, and i'm clinging onto it with all of my might. Hence the inspiration for this nail design.

This one was pretty tricky, especially the right hand, and there was much room for error. I didn't want my flowers merging and ending up resembling a splat.

The polishes I used:

Barry M nail paint in NP47 (black)

Saffron nail polish in shade 12  - White

Barry M nail paint in Mushroom (brown)

W7 nail polish in Neon Blue

Missguided nail splash in MissBehave (pink)

Barry M nail paint in 304 - Mint Green

Collection 2000 Hot Looks nail paint in 46 - fruit Loop

W7 nail polish in Gold Dazzle



I started with a black base coat and then did the white flowers and dots. The coloured flowers and dots have white underneath them as I found this to help the colours pop. I finished with gold glitter in the centre of each flower.

I topped it all off with e.l.f.'s matte nail finisher, which doesn't really show up in the picture, but it's an optional step. Beware of matte designs as they usually chip after a day.

I'll definitely be doing this again soon, maybe with christmassy colours. I know it's only november, but the christmas Coca Cola advert is out so i'm allowed o:)

Happy polishing <3
