May #HePicksMyPolish Nail Art Challenge – Look 1

May 26, 2014

This week the May #HePicksMyPolish nail art challenge is
going on!
I’ve got look one done for this challenge so far!
My Mr. picked out only two polishes for this combo:
  • Sinful Colors – “Tokyo Pearl” #112 (pearl white)
  • Bright Pink/Red – 222 by unknown source…. I don’t remember
    where or even when I bought it….it’s pretty though!

He did another one of this quick “blind pick” polish choosing’s.
Wait till you see the other set I got….it makes this one look like heaven.

I’m having a hard time deciding if that is a darker hot
pink, or a super bright red, what you do think?

I think it’s a bright red.
And it’s because it reminds me of a bright red, that is also
reminds me of this
oooolllllddd nail art dotticure I attempted way back when. Fair warning – I cringe
when I see those pictures! But I guess that’s how I know I’m growing and making
progress in my skills, right?
I thought I would show my old self what’s what and how far I’ve
come as a blogger!

I think this look is a major improvement on the “old”
dotticure, which actually used the same white polish. I’m actually not a huge
fan of this white polish, because it is so streaky, and the formula is a bit wonky,
but I can’t bring myself to throw it away.
The dot gradient was achieved my blending small batches of
both polishes together to create each section of the effect. A matte top coat
was applied to the dot nails, but even that matte top coat was not enough to
hide the pearlescent effect of that white polish.

    I am not at all surprised your man picked a red polish. I think mine would always pick red. I should try sooner or later..
