Summer Fruit Salad!





















Here is a summer mani that I did to celebrate the start of summer! I thought of the name because of the colors I chose and my love for fruits! My favorites are strawberries and blueberries :) It was my first time using my dotting tools and I may have had a little too much fun. I still think it still turned out okay, but I could have used fewer dots. 0_o

I used
OPI Banana Bandanna as my base coat and I'm wearing 2 coats. However, I used OPI Alpine Snow first to make the yellow more pastel-y and opaque. Afterwards, I used my dotting tools to add the multicolored dots.















From left to right: OPI Alpine White, OPI Banana Bandanna, OPI Green-Wich Village, OPI Orange You Glad It's Summer?, OPI I'm Indi-a Mood for Love

Hope you are all getting some sun! Cheers!

PS- I finally made it to American Apparel and picked up 2 new shades! Swatches will come soon!

  2. Very cute! I love all the polka dots. It could be crazy, but the pale yellow keeps it from being too wacky. :P
