Polka Dot Party

One of the best tools I got my hands on was a dotting tool. Gone are the days of using a DIY pin in pencil tool. Hey, it worked fine, but I couldn't really see where I was placing my dots.

This was the first mani with my new tools. It's also the first using these colours. 

It's not often I use 3D elements on my nails, but I thought the use of half pearls changed it up a bit. (I also quite like the feel of the tiny bumps - call me weird if you will.) 

I used the very fabulous Barry M Gelly - Blackberry & Blueberry to create this fun dotty French tip style.
