| Please excuse the terrible flash; I only got this one picture before the paint was completely ruined at work. |
Let's not even pretend that I am good at keeping a blog, but I am good at making pretty nails sometimes and that is what's important. Even though this was intended to be a blog of my artistic excursions. Oh well!
This was incredibly easy - everyone loves pretty polka dot nails, probably because they are so versatile. You can use pretty much any two colours you have and they always look cute and whimsical.
I used to use toothpicks to get a polka dot effect, but I was always dissatisfied with the result: they always made more of a large blob than a polka dot, and often they smudged while drying because blobs of paint take forever to dry!
The other day though, I figured out a fantastic way to get perfect dots of uniform size - or smaller if you prefer and have a steady hand. Are you ready?
Simply push a straightpin into a pencil eraser and voila - the perfect dot making tool! Pushing the pin in far enough to stay is painful on the fingertips so I suggest using something else to jam it in there.
Not your teeth, or they will chip. Not that I would know anything about that or anything.
Then dip the flat end of the pin into a drop of nail polish and dot away!
And that's it! A fun way to spend a half hour instead of doing the dishes.
Have a great weekend and, if you celebrate it, a Happy Easter!
Thanks for reading!
Love, Emily.
