May Tri-Polish Challenge: Day 2

This month's Tri-Polish colors are blue, grey, and red. My polish choices for the month are Sinful Shine Break Away, Sinful Shine Devious, and China Glaze Elephant Walk.

For this manicure, I also used Sinful Shine Wisp for the base color. For most of the nails, there is absolutely no pattern in the mosaic shapes I used. I did the colors pretty much randomly, though I occasionally did little paths of one color or other. The ring fingers, of course, are obviously mostly grey with only a few spots of color - red on one hand and blue on the other.



I have to admit, I LOVE dotticures! They're so much fun to do and to see. On my right hand, I did do a bit of a pattern on a few of the fingers, just out of boredom. My index finger started with a red center stone, surrounded by blue stones, and then surrounded by an alternating red and grey ring. My pinkie finger was done in concentric colors starting with the grey stone down near the base of the nail.





And now for something completely different! Everyone else's various ways of using the same three colors to make amazingly different manicures!

    1. Thanks! I just scroll through my Pinterest nail art board whenever I'm ready to do a new mani, and go "oooh, that one!" or "no, maybe that one..." and sometimes I'll mix a few ideas together, but I'm not very creative, so I've got to go with someone else's ideas to make pretties. :) I guess I'm a doer, not a dreamer...but somebody's got to be, right? ^_^

    1. Yep, fun fun fun! And sometimes they can come out looking like you spent hours on them, when they're generally one of the faster mani's to do. Especially if you have the set of 10-sizes of dotting tools! :) Though saying that here is kind of out of place, since I didn't use a dotting tool for these. I was going more for mosaic tiles and tried to make them not-round, so I used a detail brush. :)

    1. Thanks! I had fun making it! I did not have fun deciding what colors to put where, though. Again, *not* a creative person and I have a hard time deciding patterns. So much better at looking at other people's ideas and using it for myself. :)
