Summer Challenge: Day 5 Polka Dots
You know me. I love polka dots. So when I saw that day five would be *drumroll please* polka dots I got a tad excited. Here's my, in my honest opinion, totally amazing polka dots:
Base color is China Glaze Unpredictable. Now I had read that people didn't feel this was a good duochrome so when Liesl Loves Pretty Things gave it to me as a gift I wasn't sure what to expect. Umm it's pure AMAZING. Yes it's a subtle duochrome but my word it's so shifty and gorgeous and doesn't need sunlight to be glorious. I now want all of them and have a feeling they'll be hard to achieve now. Good job me listening to others.
Blue green to green to deep greens and blues. I decided to play off the shift with my dots and I just LOVE the look!
Now some food for thought:
Are you thinking about food now? This was my first attempt at blackberry pie and has nothing to do with duochromes, blue, green or nail polish. BUT blackberries are a signature summer berry here in Oregon and this was a happy discovery. Until the next challenge: Stripes!! I am loving A Few Of My Favorite Things <3

Ohh i love this! I really like ur different colour of dots! x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I saw someone do a rainbow of dots a long time ago and had been meaning to try it out. It gives a really neat effect.
DeleteThat pie looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh it so was - and SUPER simple to do too. I may start putting some pictures up here and there in posts in the upcoming baking season of om noms.
DeleteFabulous idea, dots to match the duochrome! You are so remarkably clever. :) I'm stoked that you ended up liking this one, too. My local Sally's been keeping these well stocked, in case you feel like taking a field trip up the freeway... ;)
ReplyDeleteI am ever so greatful for this pretty. I think I do need a trip. I WAS hoping to come up and hit the Butter London sale but we'll have to see...if I do I'm so texting you!
DeleteLove the mani and matching the dots with the polish is an awesome idea! The pie looks SOOOO yummy!
ReplyDeleteI think I've learned that a good manicure deserves a good piece of pie. Or maybe a good piece of pie needs a good manicure to go with it...?
DeleteLove the polish combinations, at the dots make this mani look very cute. Now I am hungry, thanks to you :) I am sure that I will eat today some pie and it have to be with blackberry's :)
ReplyDeleteYou know I think I'll post the recipe in an upcoming post along with a pie crust recipe. It's too good not to share <3 You always shares all your nummies :)
DeleteI love the fade! :)
ReplyDeleteIt turned out pretty nice didn't it - I was a little nervous that I had picked too dark of blues but it somehow worked out on the duochrome.
DeleteThis is really cute - I like it.
