This looks is inspired by one I saw in a pin on Pinterest and tracked to Smashley Sparkles 2012 Halloween mani. Hers has more of a fine, gradient look to it that I had planned to do, but once I realized my dots were too big, I improvised.
I used Butter-fly Stroke, a good, opaque yellow for the tip. I dotted over/below it with Sun Kissed and then went back to make a little more overlap between the colors. I wasn't crazy about the look at first--I think because the base is white, instead of having white dots, so it felt uneven--so I added glitter, of course! A thin coat of holo sparkles and a shiny topper and I called it a night!
As I looked at these on Halloween (and each day since) I came to like them more and more! I had such a clear image in my head of what I was imitating that I didn't see how fun these turned out until I got a little distance.
Have you had a look grow on you over time that you came to love? What made you come around to it?
