It's A Lovely Secret

I couldn't really choose how I wanted to do my nails, so I ended up starting with two coats of "a lovely secret" by Essence.  It looked really pretty, and part of me wanted to leave it alone, but then I decided to spice it up with some "LIME UP!" (also by Essence) dots.  Ever since I bought those dotting tools last weekend, I can't get enough. :D Plus, I need the dotting practice.

Dotticure...fail?

I bought some dotting tools yesterday, so I decided to give them a shot.  I like how the dots turned out; I was just bad at placement.  Oops.  I guess practice makes perfect!  I started with two coats of Essie "blanc" and used China Glaze Pool Party and Papaya Punch for the dots.  Afterward I topped it off with a coat of Essie "Shine of the Times".  It looks way better in person than in the pictures.  My camera couldn't really capture the glitter well, unfortunately.
