Dotting Tool Nail Art

Both of these manicures were done using a dotting tool. You can get them for crazy cheap on Ebay or make your own! 

I did this fun mani inspired by one Zooey Deschanel did, for the Golden Globes last week (she wore them last year but her nails this year were cute too!). Posting it now because it would be super cute for the Oscars next month too!  Here's a tutorial.

This one was inspired by this picture I pinned to my nail board on Pinterest. I wore this mani for most of the week. The base is Julep "Pippa", a favourite of mine. My husband calls it flesh polish. haha I used China Glaze "Mahogany Magic as the brown, forgetting that it is much darker than it looks in the bottle!

Here's how I did the outline:

1.  Enjoying some fresh juice. I think this was two apples, kale, half cucumber, one celery stalk... my husband and I shared it.
2. I finally bought a new kettle. My old one was just nasty looking haha This one is pretty cute! Target.
3. Enjoying our morning cuddles while I blog.
4. I like the swatch stickers from Julep! So handy. I stopped doing the plastic nail swatches a while ago.
5. New necklace from Target on clearance.
6. My Golden Globes nails hehe Inspired by Zooey Deschanel.
7. Watching the Hawks game at a Seahawks bar in Pacific Beach, CA. What an amazing atmosphere! People got there as early as 8:30am because the game was at 10am and the bar is pretty small. It was so full! Too bad the Hawks lost but it was a cool experience; wish I'd known about the place earlier. It's called Thrusters Lounge.
8. My husband and cat passed out on my lap on the couch. So flippin' cute.
9. Bow (made by moi).
