Ombre Dot Half Moon Pond Mani!

That's a full title, isn't it? I have a lot going on in today's nail art and it didn't turn out exactly as I'd hoped, but it's still a neat concept that I plan to perfect in the future. Zoya Katherine and Zoya Frida were the jelly polishes used, and I prefer the look with Katherine most even though the half moon part disappeared.

Good afternoon, readers! I have the final design for Summer Week with The Digit-al Dozen to show you! I was really struggling this week to come up with ideas that weren't so obviously summer. My friend, Casandra from The Manilogues, saved the day and suggested I do a swimming pool but as a "pond mani" with different layers in it for the light reflections. HELLO! Best idea ever! I was so excited, and did exactly that. This was my first time using one of the OPI Sheer Tints in a pond mani, and it worked fairly well. It was just a touch too sheer to show the depth of layers as well as I would have hoped (I guess I could have done two coats for each layer) but the color was perfect.

Shamrock Pond Mani!

Good morning, readers, and Happy Saint Patrick's Day!! Are you wearing green? I am on my nails! This is the mani I've been sporting all weekend and I really like how it turned out! I used my "Pond Hearts Tutorial" but changed it up a bit by using The Nail Junkie Apple and shamrock shapes in-between the polish layers!
