The theme for today is Polka Dots. Upon looking for inspiration, I started thinking about doing something a little out of the ordinary. When you hear the prompt "Polka Dots," I'm sure you think of something like this, right?
That's what I think of too...but the purpose of this challenge is for me to do things that I wouldn't normally think of!
Originally I thought of doing a sort of connect the dots mani and doing something like you'd see in a children's workbook with the dots and the corresponding numbers. But I didn't think I'd have enough room on each nail to do something like that... so I thought of something similar...
Constellations! I could still do dots that were supposed to represent something, but didn't have to draw parts of the image!
I used a base of Zoya Indigo for the night sky. Indigo is a beautiful navy blue with teeny tiny holographic glitter. The glitter wasn't noticeable enough to represent a night sky though, so what do I do? What else but add some Fairy Dust on top of it! I love Fairy Dust way more than I should...
Here are some pictures of Fairy Dust over Indigo:
Then I used the point of a needle (yes, a needle) to dot on the various constellations. Can you figure out what any of the constellations pictured below are? They are all actual formations!

| Constellations from L to R: Orion's Belt, Hercules, Perseus, & Bootes (even though I admit it looks like The Big/Little Dipper |
I am loving this constellation mani! And it was so so simple to do! Does this fall under Polka Dots or did I stray too much from the theme? ;)
What a unique way to do this challenge! I love it!! I just love constellations and love looking at the stars!! I only knew Orion's belt-but really can't believe that you did ACTUAL ones-not just random dots-makes it that much cooler!!
ReplyDeleteThis is subtle and really pretty! Great job :)

ReplyDeleteOh my god, I can't even explain how much I love this manicure. I've always loved stars and the night sky, so this for me is just beautiful. It'a just.. so fantastic! I love that you made actual constellations, it just makes it so much better. I love Orion's belt.. It's always so easy to spot on the night sky :D
