Artsy Wednesday - Pastels

Enter my 500 follower giveaway here to win 7 nail polishes!

Today's theme for AW is pastels! It feels odd wearing pastels in Autumn but I know for those Northern hemisphere peeps you will love this delicate mani!! Today's look is a dotticure! It is super easy to do and all you need is a dotting tool, bobby pin or any pen to recreate dots!

I painted all but my thumb and ring finger with 2 coats of Revlon - Metallic (my favourite metallic silver colour), I painted my thumb with a base of 2 coats of Lime Crime - Once In A Blue Mousse and I painted my ring finger with 2 coats of Lime Crime - Parfait Days. I used all the same colours for the dots, except the pastel purple is OPI - You're Such A Buda-Pest (which I used as the base colour on my ring finger for my right hand). I set it all with 1 coat of Wicked Fast over the top. Super easy & super striking mani which I loved wearing! Do you like this combo? Don't forget to check out the other AW girls look today!
