Sunday Nails - Polka Dots!


I've taken my false nails off so I apologise for my little nails - they are growing slowly!

I was going to use the free Barry M polish from last weeks Buzz magazine, but it smelt like paint thinner and the consistency wasn't great either so no thank you to that!


I decided instead to do cute polka dots using Barry M Spring Green and NYC French White Tip - the NYC was a bargain at 99p from Superdrug! The Barry M only needed two coats, and it's such a gorgeous green - I might keep it on for a while.

I bent apart a kirby grip and used the end to make the white dots; it was the only thing I could find to use!


It's a bit wobbly, but for my first attempt I quite like it!

What do you think?
