Matte Dotticure with China Glaze

October 12, 2018 by Nina 8 Comments

Good afternoon everyone!  It is finally Friday and we are FINALLY having some Fall weather!!  I love the kickoff to Fall because Halloween is just around the corner and is one of my two favorite holidays to create nail art for.  Towards the beginning of October I try to go Halloween theme, but a little subtle so when I swatched the Shadies & Gentlemen from the new Paint It Black collection by China Glaze, I knew I had to create a mani with it.  I was torn with a few ideas but in the end decided to go with a dotticure that is just too stinking awesome!

For my matte dotticure I started off with three thin coats of Snow Way! by China Glaze.  This pearly shade has this lovely warm glow that just seemed to remind me of candles flickering against white.  Next I used various size dotting tools along with Shadies & Gentlemen by China Glaze to create a random collection of dots.

So what do you guys think of my dotticure?  I am so in love with these matte dots and the contrast with the glowing glossy base.  It’s like you are looking into some void!  Thank you so much for stopping by today and I will be seeing you all again soon! <3

    My one and only dotticure was a failure so I appreciate the evenness you got even more. The matte makes it so interesting.

    How cute! This is great for around-the-year wear. Reminds me of 101 Dalmatians!

    I’m really liking the sheen in the base, it makes the whole mani unique!

This month just flew by, and I am not in the Christmas spirit yet! November was packed with things: Zelda is finally vaccinated and can go out in public, we took a trip to Flordia to visit family, and we had a significant audit at work....

It was a crazy week at home with appointments, taking care of a sick puppy, and managing a household, but I wanted to share some more lovely lacquers from SuperChic Lacquer. Today, I have Psycho from SuperChic Lacquer to share. This was just the perfect silver holographic crackle shade for Halloween since it was inspired by the film Psycho, and I thought a red glitter base would be the ideal pairing....
