Help Me Out? Manicure S.O.S!

So.. I could use a little help. I really like the basic idea of this manicure, but something is off about it. I don't think i like the glitter on the tips, but without it the ring finger overpowers the rest of the manicure. I thought about some stamping on the other fingers in OPI's Ski Teal We Drop, but i didn't have a design that i felt would go well with it. I'll go ahead and show you the design, and then i'll get to specific questions later.

I started with a base of OPI's You Don't Know Jacques. Then using a dotting tool i applied dots with OPI's Ski Teal We Drop, Essie's Big Spender, and Pure Ice's Hot Tamale on my ring finger. And last i sponged some of OPI's Simmer & Shimmer on the tips of the other fingers.


Okay, so now that you've seen it, what do you think i could do to improve it/make it work? I really really love the color combination of the polishes i used (minus Simmer & Shimmer). I think that this manicure could really work and be awesome if i can just get some feedback about what isn't working right now. 

What do you think i could change about this to make it better? Should i just use the overlapping dots on all the fingers instead? Please leave me some feedback with ideas/comments!

  1. very nice glitter gradient! Hmmm.. maybe you can add some rhinestones where the gold polish tapers out .. or maybe polka dots on the purple part or between the gold and blue colors, but i think it looks good the way it is =)

  2. I love the three fingers with the glitter, not loving the ring finger though. They don't seem to go together somehow. I love the fading on the glitter, nice job :)

  3. I would replace Big Spender with a light blue or gold polish. I think it's the fuschia colour that throws it off, but it looks good anyways.

  4. I actually really like the glittery tips!

  5. I agree with Queen of Crap, maybe take out the fuschia colour and leave the You Don't Know Jacques base coming through so there's more of a link between all the nails. And I also love the glitter sponging, something I'm dying to try!
