It was my first nail art and I thought making polka dots would be an easy start. I was wrong!
I was satisfied with my choice of colors but Color Club Vintage Couture was not bright and opaque enough, as a result the pink blended in with white dots. Obvious enough from the photos, I was not able to make the dots in same size and I put too many of them on each nail. Another fatal mistake was to use black as my base; I thought black would tame the avocado green and brighten the dots! Not only that, it was a mess, cleaning up was a big hassle... the black was visible at the edges :(
I had this mani for only 3 days before removing it. Somehow the dots creeped me out.. there were just too many on the nails and the urge to rub it off grew stronger each day!

Only three days??! What a shame! I thought they were very pretty, green was unique, dots were perfect (to my naked eyes) & patterns were special. Overall, the design stood out and eye-catching except you are right the pink wasn't obvious enough. Looking forward to your second attempt! xxoxo
Thanks sis :) But it was a disaster in reality.. messy at the sides, black base peeking thru, and the dots made me feel untidy! LOL!
Will improve on my next dot adventure, just read a tip from another blog on how to make the dots more visible ;)
