Pretty Little Liars - Jenna Nail Art - Polka Dots & Ruffian

Are you a fan of Pretty Little Liars? On this week's episode I spotted some nail art on Jenna's nails, in the scene where she ate cherries in front of the school. I couldn't completely see her design but I figured it would look something like a pink ruffian with polka dots. I decided to recreate it for my blog, because it really caught my eye. 




I started with two coats of pastel rose China Glaze - Something Sweet. Then I freehanded the curve with one coat of Wet 'N' Wild - Black Crème which worked really good. After that, my most dreaded nail art technique, polka dots! I almost never succeed at dots with the same size on each nail. But at least I was able to place them in a regular pattern onto my nails. For the dots I used Essie - Blanc




On top there is one coat of Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat which smudged a tiny spot on my index finger nail. 

This was not the first time that I've seen something pretty on Pretty Little Liars and they do have some fancy nail art designs sometimes. So I'll keep my eyes open for the next one to come along, hopefully not on Jenna's nails since actually I can't stand her. 





What's your trick to create equal polka dots on each nail?

Minnie Mouse / Polka Dot Nails

Minnie Mouse meets Polka Dots! 






Base color is Anny - South Beach. I added the dots with my dotting tool and white nail polish and the black french with my nail art brush. One coat of Seche Vite on top, which is one of my favorite top coats by now!

NOTD: Rainbow Fish

The Rainbow Fish was one of my favorite books as a child so I knew I had to do this design someday. I've seen this idea for the first time at The Nailsaurus. And yesterday I stumbled upon this tutorial from little nails on how to do mermaid nails. 




I used mainly colors from Catrice and Essence - Gleam In Blue as a base color. I added the dots with a dotting tool but in the end just used the brush that came with the polish. Since it's really time-consuming I only did one hand this time and left my other nails with the base color.




One coat of BTGN Top Sealer which caused a tiny bit of smudging.

NOTD: Black & White Polka Dot Nails

Just some simple Polka Dot nails for today! I got myself a new black nail polish from H&M called Manhunter. I really hoped it would be a one-coater since I have great experience with those nail polishes. Well, Manhunter still needs 2 coats to be opaque so I will have to continue my search.




I added the dots with my dotting tool and a white nail polish. 




As a top coat I used one coat of BTGN Top Sealer.


Sorry for the lack of words lately, the new semester is about to start next week and I have a lot of stuff to take care of until then. Painting my nails has always been a great way to relax though, so I will continue to post my designs nonetheless. And btw, since last week I have over 300 followers! Thank you very much for your support and especially for all your comments, I really enjoy reading your feedback!
