I know I said that there would be 3 days in a row of dot tutorials, but I've been busy enjoying March Break, so the third day hasn't come until now. I've spent a couple days prom dress shopping, including in the States, and I was also searching for a new pet (which you will learn about later). Anyways, here's the tutorial.



1. Apply your base colour. I used Lime Up! from Essence.

2. Using a dotting tool (I used a pin head stuck in a pencil eraser), make an spiral of dots near the tip of the nail. Make sure the dots gradually get smaller.

3. Repeat step 2, making design near the cuticle this time, and spiraling in the opposite direction.

There it is. The final of the Seeing Dots tutorials.

Here's day 2 of the Seeing Dots tutorials.


1. Apply your base colour. I used Watermelon from Essie.

2. Using a mid sized dotting tool (I used a pen tip), make an arc of dots starting at the base of the nail and curving out. Make sure the dots gradually get smaller.

3. Using a second colour, slightly overlap the dots and repeat by making an arc of dots. Once again, make sure that the dots gradually get smaller.

There you go. Another super simple tutorial that gives a really cute look. Enjoy!

During the next three days, I have some cute and quick nail art tutorials for you guys that are centered around... dots! Here's day one.


1. Apply your base colour. I used Turned Up Turquoise from China Glaze.

2. Using a large dotting tool, make 5 dots at the top of the nail, ensuring they follow a pattern.

3. Using a slightly smaller dotting tool, make three dots.

4. Using another smaller dotting tool, make 5 more dots.

5. Finally, using the smallest dotting tool you have, make 3 dots. Your final design should come to a point towards the cuticle (dots should form a triangle).

As I've mentioned before, I adore Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and Disney in general, so that's why Disney themed designs tend to be on my nails. I started with a base of Designer... de Better from OPI. Then, on my ring fingers, I painted a black half circle at the tip, along with two tiny black circles for ears with Black Satin from Rimmel. I finished it off with a white polka dotted red bow with acrylic. Enjoy!

If the title didn't clue you in, today's manicure is a pirate treasure map.


I started with a base of White On from Sally Hansen. Then I sponged on Bare Necessity from Avon with a makeup sponge, and at the tips and around the edges I sponged with a bit of brown acrylic. The map design is done in brown and black acrylic. Also, to get the lines seen on a few of the nails (thumb, ring finger, pinkie), I dipped some thread into a bit of brown paint, then pressed it onto the nails.

Hope you guys like it!

This manicure was kind of random, but it sort of showcases a bit of me.


The pinkie is a watercolour effect using Watermelon from Essie, Sunkissed from Sally Hansen, Lime Up! From Essence and You Belong to Me from Essence on base of White On from Sally Hansen. Then I added a black french tip with acrylic. My ring finger has a base of Black Satin from Rimmel, and the writing is in acrylic. The middle finger is a peace sign, with a watercolour effect again. The peace sign is black acrylic. My pointer finger is chevrons with a base of White On and black acrylic. Finally, my thumb (not pictured), was a simple half moon mani in black with the watercolour effect for the base.

So, this manicure sort of represents me for a few reasons. First of all, I think I'm pretty colourful and creative. Next, I absolutely ADORE rock and roll. It's my favourite type of music. And I'm all for peace, which goes along with the whole idea of rock and roll. :)

Hope you guys enjoy!

If you haven't noticed, it's the awards shows time of year again, with the Oscars, Grammys, Brit Awards and many more. So, in honour of all these award shows, I figured I would give out some polish awards to my favourite polishes around.

Polish Awards: Favourite Collection - Hunger Games, Stone Cold

 Polish Awards: Favourite New Colour - Skyfall


Polish Awards: Best Glitter - Ruby Pumps





Polish Awards: Best Brush - Grey-t To Be Here





These polishes weren't necessarily all from 2012, but they're just polishes I happen to love! What do you guys think? Do you agree with my selections? What are your favourites in these categories? Let me know!

After four years of having my nails squared off, I decided I needed a change.

So, I posted the below design forever ago (two summers ago to be exact), and I've been noticing it on the internet again lately. I hadn't put a water mark on it, so it's basically gotten everywhere without people knowing it's my design.


What I'm asking of you guys as my awesome readers is, could you let me know if you see this photo somewhere without my watermark? Or could you let whoever posted it know the link for my blog? The same goes for any other artist. This way we can make sure those who deserve the credit, get the credit. :) Thanks guys!

I've got another Valentine's design for you guys. This time, it's inspired by vintage comic books and pop art.
