Nail art has taken the polish world by storm. Who can resist with all the stunning lacquer shades available to us on the market nowadays? I know I have tried my hand at some easy designs - the odd hit, but the odd miss too. Up to now I have not invested in any nail art tools, but I have been rather creative and used things around the house. One fellow blogger "Enigmatic Rambles" was so kind to give me a tip about using the end of a pin for dots. Recently I saw an idea on Pinterest, which I had to test as well.
Here is the product of my creativity yesterday:
I started with a base colour entitled "Abalone Sand" by ASK Cosmetics - 3 coats seen here.
For the first set of dots I used the rounded end of tis brush, the same one I use to remove any polish that is "outside the lines".
The second set of dots in grey were a bit out of control as I was doing this nail art with my left hand and I am usually right dominant. Note to self: do not drink so much coffee before attempting this.
This was the idea I took from Pinterest - by simply sticking a pin in the eraser end of a pencil you have an inexpensive dotting tool. How cool is that!
This is the end product of my dotting adventure. And here is a photo of the shades I chose:
From left - right: Abalone Sand by ASK Cosmetics, Spanish Moss by Revlon, Chinchilly by Essie and Colour Club (name unknown).
All Nailwear by ASK Cosmetics is Big-3 free, Camphor free and vegan-friendly.

So glad you had a go at this, I haven't actually tried doing anything random like this! Dotting tools are so cheap £1 from eBay inc P&P dont think they would be much more to Canada either.
ReplyDeleteI like how with those dots you can be a little more random and it doesnt look bad, means you can do them on all your fingers! :)
@Enigmatic Rambles - Thanks for your wonderful ideas a while back. There are so many items around the house that can actually be used. This was the first attempt that I wanted to share - yes, the dots did get a little too wild. That happens when my left hand is jittery from too much coffee -haha! Love all your great designs, but still have a problem posting comments on your page. Sorry! Take care, Lisa M
