A few months ago, Tam from @ohmygoshpolish posted a dotticure that was inspired by artist Elspeth Mclean. If you are not familiar with her work, do yourself a favour and check out this google image search.
Elspeth paints of various materials, but is particularly known for her stones, all hand painted with different combinations of dots - they are stunning. I was inspired by her to create this skittle mani of different dot combos. They didn't end up looking like her stones unfortunately, but they were colourful, and dotti - which means I met the challenge brief.
I created the dotti designs on my Uber Chic mat, which is Uber awesome. I used some of the Picture Polish dotting tools to get the various sized dots.

ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous mani and the uber chic mat is soo cool! First purchase on next payday!!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I kinda squealed when I saw your nails! I love her work - want one of those stones SO bad, even though I know it will never happen. You did such a fantastic job with this enterprise. I love your mani!
ReplyDeleteThe manicure is just as awesome as the inspiration! Makes me sad to think you might've only worn it for a day!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check this mat out. Is it for the purpose of making nail appliqués? Now this is something I might just be able to do. Hehehe. Just gotta look up the instructions now.
ReplyDeleteLovely!! I wish I had bigger nails so I could fit more of a design when I try to re-create her looks!
