Quick and Easy Summer Dotting Tool NailArt–using New York Colors

Hi Girls, This week I used amazing colors from New York Colors for Quick and Easy Summer Dotting Tool NailArt. Hope you like it.

Last week I posted a post on my Instagram (cateyedamsel) got some more nail polishes, oh yes who does not need more nail polishes, total nail polish junkies, like me…

So I decided to do a quick nail art, inspired by my favorite pink purple dress, nothing fancy very simple and basic. I used these three colors from my all time favorite brand New York Colors:-

1. New York Colors, Long Wearing 142 Preppy Pink
2. New York Colors, In New York Minute in 247 Prince Street
3. New York Colors, In New York Minute in 276 Big City Dazzle ( it has tiny pink, purple and teal glitter)

Here are some pictures of a quick and easy dotting tool nail art.




If you also decide to use this dotting tool nail rat, please tag me in pictures, I will be happy to see them.
Cheers

Step by Step Directions with Images:-

1. Always protect your nails with base coat.
2. After the base coat dries, paint your nails as lilac color nail polish.
3. With fan brush, strike pink and then purple stripes. Then top with little golden stripes. Use aluminum foil to add some color like shown, this way you will not dry out your nail polishes.
