Fishnets, Stripes, and Polka Dots, Oh My!

My first post of my nail art week- this is exciting for me! Usually i don't have a ton of time to do detailed stuff, so it was nice to make the time for myself. Plus, i am really pleased with the results! For the first post this week i wanted something that definitely made a statement, but was still wearable for everyday activity without being screamingly attention grabbing. It took me a while to come up with a really nice color combination, but i think i nailed it (no pun intended! hehe) with Wet N' Wild Eggplant Frost, Essie Sand Tropez, and Sinful Colors Nirvana. To accent those main colors i picked OPI Rumple's Wiggin', China Glaze Gamer Glam, Mood Struck's Pink/Purple, and Sinful Colors Snow Me White.

For the index and pinky fingers i used two coats of Eggplant Frost, and stamped with Sand Tropez in the fishnet design from plate M57. For the middle fingers and thumbs i used two coats of Sand Tropez and used a dotting tool to do dots with Rumple's Wiggin', Gamer Glam, Eggplant Frost, and Pink/Purple. For my ring fingers i did two coats of Nirvana, and taped off and did stripes with Rumple's Wiggin' and Eggplant Frost. And finally i stamped the solid bow from plate M59 in Snow Me White and added a half pearl in the center. Now that i've told you all the details, let's get onto the pictures!


Sorry that this picture is a tad blurry! It's hard to take pictures with my

And that's this week's first manicure! It's really the first manicure i've gotten lots of compliments on, so i was pretty proud to wear this while i was on vacation. Speaking of which, i'll be in the car tomorrow all day so i don't know if i will have a chance to post! But no worries- if i don't manage to get a post up tomorrow i'll make it up by posting on Saturday instead.

Are you a fan of multiple color manicures with a different color on almost every finger? Do you like how fun and complex some of these designs are, or do you prefer a more unified look? Leave me a comment and let me know. Thanks for reading!
