Polka Dots!

Hiya!

Today I was inspired by Posh for Polish's manicure, but I did a little bit of a different take on it. Hope you like it! Which by the way she has an amazing blog so I recommend you go and check it out if you aren't already following her. This entire paragraph will send you to her website if you click on it.

First off I did two coats of Essie's Blanc as a base, then I used a dotting tool to do different color dots on each of my nails. I used four mini H&M colors (Neon Lilac, Neon Orange, Neon Yellow, and Neon Pink), Essie's Pretty Edgy, and OPI's Ogre-the-Top Blue for the Polka Dots on the nails. I also put a coat of Poshe top coat afterwards.

I purchased the dotting tools at a local nail supply but I'm pretty sure you can purchase a similar set at the Born Pretty website [link for dotting tools here]. They are super easy to use and more convenient than a tooth pick in my opinion, although that works as well. If you guys like the manicure and would be interested in a tutorial (even though this is a super easy mani) just tell me in the comments, or tweet/email me {@positivpolished or positivelypolished@hotmail.com}.

Also I'm not sure if you guys read this before or have noticed that I've been editing my pictures (as in cropping them for better quality) and taking my pictures in different lightings. Tell me if you guys like this better and if you guys have any ideas for me. Thumbs up or thumbs down? or ehh..in between whatever.

I'm Back! One NOTD, and some Giveaways!

I apologize for my lack of posts but I took a week vacation! Man, it was beautiful and I really enjoyed it. I'm also sorry... because... well I was a terrible blogger and forgot to take any pictures of my NOTD but I can fill you in on what I wore on my nails and provide links to other bloggers swatches: Essie- Mint Candy Apple, OPI- What's with the Cattitude, and one day I did just wear Essie's Fill the Gap! which I love to occasionally use on it's own.

Today'

s NOTD is my failed attempt at the Blackberry Manicure. A better take on this manicure can be found on this link. Sorry the picture is so bad, I actually took it with my Blackberry.

I used Essie's Punchy Pink on the thumb and Essie's Bermuda Shorts on the rest of my nails. I did like 4 or 5 coats of Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday( yes this is my first Deborah Lippmann polish! and I love it!) because I don't have Mad as a Hatter from OPI :(. Which by the way if any of you have OPI's Mad as a Hatter or Absolutely Alice and would be willing to swap please shoot me an email at positivelypolished@hotmail.com.

Also there are a bunch of new give aways lately and they have some great prizes so go check 'em out!
