The Digit-al Dozen Does Fairytales: Mermaid Scales

Day three of The Digit-al Dozen is upon us, and I've decided to tackle something that I'm not totally comfortable with - dotticures. I know I post my fair share of dotted manicures, but the truth is, I find them to be pretty difficult! Getting the dots to be a consistent size can be a pretty tough task. Anyway, I figured I would try out this mermaid scale tutorial for today's fairytale theme!

To achieve this look, I started with a base of Habit Cosmetics Prairie and with my dotting tool, dotted on a ton of colors in a random order. I've listed them all below (with a handy photo guide) so make sure to check that out if you're interested in a particular color. 

I absolutely love the color scheme and I found that using a mix of cremes and shimmers gave this manicure an awesome scaled effect! I am so pleased with how it turned out, even though it was pretty time consuming.

Of course, this is more polishes than I generally use, so I couldn't fit them all into my usual bottle photo. I've reviewed almost all of these polishes, so check out these links for product details:

Whew, that was a lot! Anyway, I hope you liked today's nail art look - unfortunately, this is the last manicure I did before I had to shorten my nails :( I've been hoping that my nails will grow back in time for me to complete this week's nail art, but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen! Ah, well, they'll grow back soon enough.

What do you think of today's manicure? Make sure to check out the other talented ladies and their Digit-al Dozen fairytale looks!
