Dash Dot Dash Dot.... Morse Code for Nails!

Dot dot, dash, dot, dash.... It's Morse Code! I don't claim to know how to translate this pattern of dashes and dots, but in a perfect world it would say "Awesome Nails"!  This design is inspried by a similar design I came across several months ago (but I can't remember where!) and I wanted to give it a try. 

I painted my nails with Revlon Lily.  Then I used Essie Smokin' Hot and Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet to create the design with a nail art brush and a dotting tool.  I topped it off with NYC Matte Me Crazy topcoat.

It isn't perfect up close but still looks pretty cool and different.  

Me and the family are off to Florida for a few days so my sister and I may be off the grid this weekend.  We would love for you to show off your nail art pics on our Facebook page!

Nautical Nails!!

I had this whole mani planned out.  I had my polishes set up and was filing away when my sister stopped by and decided she would make my life easier and save me a lot of time by doing the nail art for me, hehe.  I wanted to go along with my summertime theme and I thought anchors would be perfect because I was heading to the beach on Fire Island for a long weekend.  So after throwing around some ideas, here is what we came up with...

I am in love with this nautical design and was so happy that it lasted the whole weekend without chipping!

Sissy made a perfect anchor, don't you think?

The navy color is OPI Dating A Royal and then we used a dotting pen for the gold, a striping brush for the white and she free-handed the anchor.  It is the perfect mani to cure my end-of-summer sadness.  More summer manis to come!  Ahoy mateys! ~V
