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.

    You are a queen of polka dots! Every time I see one of your polka dot manis I want to do mine again. This is so cute, and I love the color scheme and the addition of the small dots as well.

    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 :)
