Dots And Stripes

Here's a design that I did a bit ago. It was inspired by a top that I had made. I left the yellow out of the nail design (see pattern below), but kept the grade shades. It uses simple elements of design, dots and stripes. The glitter was added later. Something was needed to make it pop and silver glitter was the answer.

From left to right: Pure Ice's Black Out (for the dots), Stripe Rite Black (stripes), OPI's French Quarter For Your Thoughts (base coat), and Art Deco's Ice Breaker (fill in sparkle for side section).
I started and finished out with Seche Vite's bottom and top coats.

This one was fun because I got to use a lot of stuff!

This is the fabric that led me to the design, can't really explain why

Happy Earth Day 2013

I did a mani for Earth Day. It is dedicated to our two old apples trees  (among others) that we lost because of the terrible drought that we have had in the Mid-West (USA).  The drought, as of this week is officially over. But it is sad to see how many trees died. We just couldn't water everything. New trees have been planted, but they will take years to reach the stature of our old ones.

The Title is "Trees Are As Good As Gold"
