Kleancolor Black and White - Return of the dots!

APPLICATION: Smooth
COATS: 1 of the black, 2 of the white
TOPCOAT?: Yes
SOURCE: Beauty supply store in downtown Los Angeles
COMMENTS: It's been a while since I had a dotted mani, hasn't it? I recently had a co-worker ask for a dotted mani for her daughter's birthday, and the next week she wanted dots again, in black and white. I obliged her, and in doing so realized I wanted to wear this look myself.
On day two I was ready for a change, so I added more dots (tiny ones) with some nail art pens.

  42. You are the dotting queen!! This mani (and your other dotting works) helped and inspired me so much when I had to do a polka dot mani for a challenge. I had never done serious dotting before... I thanked and linked you, of course, in my blog :)
