Gradient Dotted Nails

You know what the most underrated nail color usually is? White.
When really, it's the perfect canvas for a super cheery spring manicure. Blue is definitely one of the go-to colors for the sunny seasons so this time, I went a bit ombre on the dots. Yes, we all know I like dots and if you aren't sure yet, you will soon find out.

Another spring (and general) obsession is mint and all variations thereof, so obviously you don't have to ask twice if the opportunity arises to use it.

Now, if you're thinking "yeah, you can pull that off with a dotting tool..." let me assure you, it was all done Toothpick Style. I have yet to find a better thing to make those small dots with so, toothpick, you are being wholeheartedly recommended.

    1. Isn't it? If it rains outside, the nails should be cheerier at least :D xxx

    1. I would have used more, but then I figured it would be too clustered. But I'm plotting a full nail ombre dot mani. Patience, be with me! haha xxx

  3. I love this design! Definitely going to try it, toothpick in hand. What is your favorite brand/shade of white? Mine is Essie Marshmallow (I know, predictable lol)

    1. This is actually a brand called Kallos that make great polishes. Essie sometimes is a bit streaky for me,so I haven't tried Marshmallow. But another one that doesn't fail is China Glaze

    1. If they were longer I would have had space to add even more shades. Need to let them grow a bit longer :P
