Summer Dress

I took off my polish 3 times last night! Nothing looked good, all was lost. Then I decided to try drawing something again and it instantly turned into a summer dress version of my "Little Black Dress" mani I did the first week of June.


Here is my left hand indoors. I did this hand first, I knew I was going to put the silver there for the necklace so I gave this dress spaghetti straps. Once I got the bullion on I put random polka dots with my dotting tool (I finally got one!). I wasn't too thrilled about the style of the dress for some reason.


My right hand outdoors. I knew I had to change the dress so I tried to make a bow to tie it at the neck. Winner! Now it looks very summery.

I used Finger Paints Bikini Bottom (after seeing this name when I was all done I slapped my forehead) and LA Colors Nail Art Polish for the dots.

    Hi! Now that you mention it, yes it does look like an oldie one-piece! I like that one better!

    Yah I totally agree, the beads made it more fancy, not summery. Thanks :)

    Thank you! I can picture the white hat, lots of grass and an icy cold glass of lemonade...

    Natalie:
    Thank you :D

    Tammi:
    Thanks, it depends on the type of nail art. If it's simple like dots and lines maybe 30 mins. If it involves a lot of detailed drawing like my pet doggies or Hello Kitty mani's I did 1 or 2 hours =x (with a break or two in there).
    Lately I've been really lazy and just painting no art!

  11. You are so good. There is no need for you to use konad. The 50's style bathing suit is amazing. The yellow looks nice on you too! (I can't pull off yellow).

  24. Hi Alexlyndra,
    Funny thing is my primary hand looked better than the other! I guess I did get to practice 5 dresses first tho :D
    Thank you!

    Konaddict:
    Oh just to note, that yellow I used has a very light shimmer to it so it's not pure yellow creme. I like the shimmer tho!
    Thank you :)
