Essie Borrowed & Blue and Sand Tropez dots & stripes

Hmm a bit uninspired today and decided to do something brown and blue cause I like those 2 colours together. I decided on stripes and dots for something simple hehe lazy me.

I didn't take any inspiration from this, though the end result strangely reminds me of something like wallpaper.




I wasn't quite happy about the technicality of these! I would've used my white striper but I broke the neck of the bottle and well, I don't exactly have an equivalent of Sand Tropez :( I used Colour Club Paris White and Sand Tropez for the lines, but both formulas are not highly pigmented, resulting in me retracing lines to get the opacity up - my lines weren't as straight as they could be, which bummed me out! I'm a perfectionist, seriously if a line is a bit out of place, it bothers me! haha

Anyways enough of me being a crazy OCD nail art perfectionist haha I later realised that this mani reminds me of some patterned A4 display folders that I have - not the same but similar line work hehe

What do you think? I'd love to hear from you :)
