I’m very happy with this NOTD! I realise the polka-dots aren’t perfect, but I love the kitsch, Cath Kidston-esque effect this look creates.
I wanted to play around with pastels and polka-dots, so here’s what I came up with, although I realise they’re not strictly pastels and instead lean more towards brights.
Quite simply, two coats of each polish, dots made using a dotting tool 17’s Mini Skirt and a top coat of Nails Inc’s Kensington Caviar.
The colours used are all OPI as follows:
Pink Friday (pink)
Hey! Get in Lime! (green)
Do You Lilac It? (lilac)
Need Sunglasses? (yellow)
What’s with the Cattitude? (blue)
So I’m definitely a fan of this look and I’m already thinking up other things to try.
Disclosure: All varnishes paid for by me other than 17’s Mini Skirt.
I love the range of colours! Along the pastel spectrum but a tad too vivid to be pastels – they’re gorgeous 🙂 And yep I was thinking Cath Kidston in my head then I saw you’d written it too!

Thanks lovely, I know what you mean as I had pastels in mind, but they’re not quite bright enough to be bright, yet not pastel-y enough to be pastels so they’re a bit tricky to place in the colour spectrum! xx
Love this look! So happy and cheerful!

Thanks Ewa, me too! I really get a kick out of the vividness of this look so I’m thinking up different ways to do it as it’s probably my favourite NOTD so far xx
Looks great, my hand isn’t steady enough but I think I must try and practice nail art some more 🙂

Seriously lovely, I started out being completely incapable (some might argue I haven’t progressed much!) but I’ve just found ways around it so it doesn’t look too messy and I really enjoy putting it all together xx
