Pink and Blue dotticure. 

I was browsing Instagram yesterday, and while admiring @traceyloveslacquer‘s monthly favourites I could helped but obsess over her dotticures (because they’re gorgeous). So obviously I needed to do my own dotticure because it’s been like a week. 😂 Seriously though, dotticures are just so easy and fun. 
The colours for this mani were inspired by baby-to-be (pink and blue) who has officially overstayed their welcome. But I really think these colours would work for a variety of occasions… even a not so typical Valentine’s Day design if you didn’t want to go strictly pink. 

The polishes used for this mani were:

  • China Glaze Secret Peru-wink-le
  • Wet N Wild 2% Milk
  • Essence Cosmetics Dreaming of Love
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Tickled Pink 
  • Essie Gel Setter 

Such a simple design, but I love how it looks! And the great thing about a dotticure is it pretty much works for every occasion and colour combination.

Simple Sunday Dotticure. 

The other day I was at my local Winners and discovered a new (to me) polish brand: Orchid! I’ve never heard of this brand before, but as they had a 7 pack on sale for $5 I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try it out. 

  
The colours I used for this manicure were: 

  • Orchid Nail Polish Teal Me a Secret 
  • Orchid Nail Polish Steel Guitar
  • Butter London Matte top coat. 

This mani was in part inspired by a recent manicure by @polishandbeyond who posted a matte teal mani that I was just in love with. What is it about matte nails that just scream perfection? 

Have a fantastic Sunday loves! ☕️
