Pac Man!

A friend saw these online, and wanted me to try, they turned out stinkin' cute!  


A bit time consuming, and I didn't have just the right colors, but still, you can tell what it's supposed to be!!


Gobble, gobble....don't let the ghosts catch you!!

Pink with Lime Polka Tips

Very simple and straightforward. Bright pink base, I used one that had some shimmer in it.  Then use your dotter to make bigger dots, and then make some littler ones.  Topcoat it all  and you're ready to roll!!


Elegant Floral

A very subdued pattern,  on a pinky base.  


The flower is done with a gold art pen, then accented with Black and White.  The dots are white, with gold and black teensy ones.  I also did a thin black line on the small toes.

Topcoat :D

Faux Fish Scales and Glitter

Coral base color to begin.   Add glitter coat on about 2/3 of the nail.   Then use a navy art pen to draw scallops, just alternate the ending points...


then draw a line to divide the scales and glitter.  When it's dry, add your topcoat, and there you go!!








Reverse Colors

This one is a bit funky.  My motivation was that if I put color on my tips, it chips off within the day...so I tried putting the color down low, over a sheer base color.  Then I sharpened the edges with a navy art pen, so it looks kind of torn.  I realize this might not be everyone's favorite, but if you want something that different...
there you go :D
Oh, and a top coat is essential!


Pink with Flower Tips


This one is pretty basic,  a candy pink base, then dot on teal flowers, with orange centers.
Then use a navy blue art pen or dotting tool, and dot a line just under the flowers! Cute and fun. 
Don't forget the topcoat :D

Neutral with Multi Dots

I saw a picture that gave me this idea.   I found a really pretty neutral color for the base, any would do, the more opaque, the easier it will be.


Pick the color's you'd like for you dots, at least 3, but as many as five would work.  I chose white, lime green and purple.  Dot on the first color, and try to do some bigger, some smaller, work in a curve around a corner.  


   Keep adding more colors, take a pause to let each one dry a bit so you don't smear.  When you've gotten the effect you like, let dry, and then add your topcoat!  Voila!!
