I got some really kind compliments on these dots. Dots never fail to make the best impressions apparently. 🙂
It’s been a while since my last post, but I have been taking care of my nails. I wore this beautiful red for a solid 2 weeks!!! AND with no design….. can’t even believe that.
gelish – “Hot Rod Red”

I still absolutely adore dots! I don’t think it will ever change. 
gelish – “Black Pool” w/ white dots in acrylic paint 
#NoNailStickers
I love this “Evolution of Smooth” lip balm. Pictured is the “Summer Fruit” one….. but I’m desperately searching for the Limited Edition “Fresh Watermelon” one. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. LOL
I feel drawn to the most drab, split pea, baby poo green nail polish colors. LOL
Like I HAVE to use them because #1) No one else seems to want to use them and #2) I have to prove that the color is really not ugly!
I love this color! ha ha It’s like a murky chartreuse with a shimmer in the finish. I pretty much nullified the shimmer with my dots though. oh well

OPI – “Don’t Talk Bach To Me” w/ acrylic paint dots 
I was thinking that Chicago was going to just skip right over Spring. But alas, the weather is starting to get some act right. FINALLY! And with the warming temperatures, I was feeling more playful…on my nails, at least. I started by chopping them off which is always like a fresh start and always seems to make nail art more fun for me. I am also seemingly way more productive. Then…..
A bunch of Essie colors and a couple OPI colors later…. along with some
dots with acrylic paint in: yellow, green, blue, pink and gray
My nails over the last month and a half…… I promise, I’ll get my words back soon 
Sinful Colors – “Beautiful Girl” & “Pull Over” 
Some random….really pretty color from the Butterfly’s stash
China Glaze – “Flip Flop Fantasy”
PRADA window display/ LaPalm Gel II – “Extreme French Pink” & “Midnight Black” (no chip polish) 
LaPalm Gel II – “By The Bay” w/Missoni design 
ibd Just Gel – “Whipped Cream” 
Sinful Colors – “Innocent” & “Midnight Blue” 
Sally Hansen Nail Lacquer Strips –“Love Letter”
I needed inspiration. Phoned a friend. 
I LOVED the finished design.
OPI – “Nein! Nein! Nein! Ok, Fine!”
& a myriad of other purple and gray polishes 
Yep, dots. All day! I love them, love them, love them.
I can’t believe I haven’t done this design sooner.
Sinful Colors – “Black on Black”
acrylic paint dots
I pass by this window display every day…… it finally got my attention. Finally.
Sinful Colors – “Ruby Ruby”
China Glaze – “White Out”
I hate the formulation of “White Out”. It’s horrible and it takes FOREVER to dry. “White on White” is SO much better. Can someone explain to me why the company messed up the one polish?? SMH.
And I got a little topcoat careless and streaked some of my precious dots on my pinky fingernail. GOTTA pay better attention. 
Inspired by my new twitter friend @LacqueredAffair . . . who has a most wonderful manicure avi….
Though I don’t really do gems on my nails because of my (self-diagnosed) tactile OCD, I loved the design. So, I had to do my own take on the manicure that involved nothing I could easily yank off my nail. LOL.
China Glaze – “White on White”
It’s my birthday!!! 
Yayyyyy!!!
So I did my celebratory nails… complete with confetti and a few tiny streamers on accent nails.
I used a no-chip gel polish this time! La Palm Gel II’s – “Out of My Way” as the base color…
…and my wonderfully beloved polka dots in acrylic paint. ( I heart dots!! forever).
I have planned a “do NOTHING” day. Two hour massage from my favorite massage therapist, a triple venti soy caramel macchiato from Starbucks, a cupcake from Sprinkles…. and then kicking up my feet for a pedicure…. then seriously kicking up my feet to just chill.
Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me!!!
