Day 14: Dotting Tool Flowers

Today's flower design is just some simple dotting tool flowers I made to match a blouse I wore for work.
I still don't own an opaque pale pink polish. For this mani I used three coats of Crisnail French Lacquer to achieve some kind of a pink base. I've seriously got to get my hands on some Zoya nudes soon!
I dotted some dots in flower shape with a medium sized dotting tool, and then dragged the dots towards the center with a smaller one to form petals. A kind of dry marble, that is? Polishes used were Essence Colour&go Fabuless and Nivea Color Dynamite Blue Harmony.
Not one of my favourites, but went well with the blouse. :)

Blue Boa

I never intended to do a snakeskin mani, but that's how it turned out to be. I just wanted to do something blue for a change, perhaps something that matches my blue/gray secondhand dress I feel at home in.
There's two coats of Essie Fair Game here. Stamping was made with Nivea Color Dynamite Blue Harmony and obviously the BM215. Stamping is not even near perfect but with this pattern it's not so obvious.
 And here's the dress - or at least a part of the pattern.
Finally, these are the polishes I used. You wouldn't recognize the Nivea from the mani - it's so much more grey there. Finding a polish to stamp on this Essie was a hard job. I wish I had some bottles of the China Glaze Romantique collection. Their finish seems to be near perfection for stamping. If anyone has extras.... (No, I didn't think you would.)
