Flower Blossoms

I used Essie Turquoise & Caicos, SinfulColors Nirvana, Essie Blanc, and Ulta 14 Carat.
Starting Left to Right, Top to Bottom. 1. Two coats of Turquoise & Caicos. 2. Using a small paintbrush, draw branches using Nirvana. 3. With a dotting tool, create the petals of the flower on the branches. 4. Using the dotting tool again I used 14 Carat to create the center of the blossoms.

Minnie Mouse Inspired

I used OPI Lincoln Park After Dark for the polka dots and then added little mouse ears here and there.

Right: Using a dotting tool, make dots 2/3 up the nail. Left: Use the dotting tool again to create the ears on a few of the dots you already made. This makes the Minnie or Mickey Mouse ears.

Little Bow Ties for My Sister

I used Essie Turquoise & Caicos, Sephora by OPI A-ha! Moment, and Orly Instant Artist Jet Black.
From top to bottom: 1. Using a small paint or nail brush, draw a triangle shape on the nail with the base starting at the tip of the nail. 2. Use the paint brush again to make a thin line above the triangle. 3. Using a dotting tool, dot the outline of the bow tie. Meaning, put a dot in the center and one dot at each tip of the bow. Then fill in the rest with the black color. 4. With another color, create a little dot in the center of the bow. 

Chinchilly and Pink Glitter


 I used Essie Chinchilly and A Cut Above and China Glaze Sex on the Beach as the base color for the accent nail.

Funny Little Design

I used Ulta Duty Free Shopping Spree, Essie Lapiz of Luxury and Shine of the Times. I called this a funny little design because I have never seen it before and I don't know what to call it. It was inspired by one of the dresses Ariel from Little Mermaid 2 wore and I entered it for a Mermaid contest on Instagram hosted by nic_tchelly.
I decided to show my entry picture as well.

Stripes and Glitter

I can't remember which polishes I used except the glitter. It's Essie A Cut Above.

Polka Dots on Polka Dots

I used Orly Sweet Peacock and OPI Purple With a Purpose.
