33 Day Challenge Day 1 - Dots
When I first decided to participate in a challenge I came up an idea for dots and had to paint it while it was still in my head. Apologies for the orange tone of the picture, I was still getting to grips with my camera when this was taken and hadn't quite mastered indoor night-time pictures. I've seen this look done before but I had a couple of polishes I thought would really work together for this.
More details after the jump.
These are two of my favourite polishes China Glaze Frostbite (blue) and China Glaze Jamaican Out (orange). I used a small nail art striper brush to paint on the stripes with the polish and a dotting tool to add the dots along the stripes. once these had dried I used a slightly smaller dotting tool to add the contrasting dots.
I wouldn't usually have combined these two polishes and I knew there was something familiar about the combination and it took me a while to place it. Then it hit me, it's the brand colours of Scotland's other national drink Irn Bru (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irn-Bru). My son practically lives on this stuff so I'm forever finding cans around the house. It's no wonder the colour scheme has worked its way into my subconscious.
