Dotting Tools & Butterfuly Nails

The Manicurist Mansion was empty today ...so, I decided to take advantage of this rare occasion to partake in some RETAIL THERAPY!

I went to the nail supply store and purchased some dotting tools by Daniel Stone. Dotting tools are used to create perfect and accurate dots in different sizes.The package includes five dotting tolls in 10 various sizes. I paid $7.99 for the the package. I think the price was great compared to the prices I've seen at Sally's. OMG,I was really impressed ... I love simple pleasures. I think I've have a chocolate covered strawberry.

Now, what do I paint?

This past Friday I went to Discovery Kingdom, Vallejo CA. and was amazed by the Butterfly exhibit. I was so inspired by the butterflies that I decided to paint them with my new dotting tools. If I was going to wear theses nails I would have used a clear top coat.

Tell me what you think?

Zebra Nails w/ french tips
I know Zebra nails have been done but, I really wanted to put my spin on them. I typically , do the stripes in another direction. I have this really nice zebra chair and the strips are drawn this way. I think these nails look great with any french style tip . In this photo I used CHINA GLAZE, Turn up the Turquoise for the tips.

This is a picture of the Zebra Nails on my daughter. I usually paint them in this direction. She loved them....
