Textured Dotted Nails

I'm back!

I really don't have an excuse for this, except that I have for the most part moved my nail art enterprises to Instagram, where I post as @coralpecan. I find this much easier as I work 50 hour workweeks and usually am so drained when I get home that the idea of blogging is somewhat unbearable. However, today I made an effort, so let me show you a design I did earlier today.

You will need:

A base and topcoat. Mine are Butter London's nail foundation and Orly's matte top coat.

You will also need dotting tools in various sizes. Mine I got at Sally's for about $2 USD, and this is the largest and the medium size. They are double ended so they have a small dotter on the other end.

Here is my color scheme: Orly "Gumdrop" OPI "Just Lanai-ing Around" Kleancolor "Neon Blue" Revlon "Enchanting" and Sally Hansen "Mellow Yellow."

To begin, I painted each finger a different color, and put my matte topcoat over that base color. On top of that I did my dots and flowers. This gives it a 3D, textured effect.

The final product:

Just keep adding dots to fill as much negative space as you can, and pick a really great complementary color scheme. Have fun!
