My First Dotticure

It is that time of the month, Tri-Polish time!  Three polishes, four manicures.  No bottle shot today.  The colors are red, pink and purple.  As always, this is not a combo I would ever come up with myself.  Since I am already doing bright colors for the neon challenge, I decided to go muted.  Here is what I chose.

• Red - Julep Nan
• Pink - Essie A Crewed Interest
• Purple - Contrary Polish Desert Fruit

 
This is my first ever dotticure.  Why?  I am a bit of a perfectionist and therefore don't do randomness very well.  I finally gave up my trepidation and decided to try one.  I like how it turned out, but you should have seen me.  Equal amounts of each color and size.  I'm a bit crazy.

 
This started with two coats of Julep Nan.  This came in my May Maven box and I have to say it is one unique red.  It is muted and leans coral.  Julep calls it a Nantucket red, whatever that is.  The formula on this was spectacular.  It is one of those lovely crellies, opaque in two coats, like a creme, but still has that squishy and translucent quality of a jellie.  Easy to apply, however it was a bit of a cuticle flooder, but I think that is because I have a tendency to to use thicker coats.  Once I went thinner with the coats, I had no problem.

Next I dotted, as randomly as I can, with A Crewed Interest, Desert Fruit and China Glaze Angel Wings.  That was it!  Simple yet pretty.  Don't know why I never tried it before.  Definitely will try it again!

As always, thanks for looking!
