31DC Day 11: Polka Dots- Ladybug (Happy Halloween! Happy November! + a quick & easy mani for short nails)

Ahhh yesterday was Halloween, and I meant to post this yesterday, but I got too caught up in the holiday activities! :) For Halloween, I dressed up as a ladybug, and did my nails to match the costume (and 31 day challenge!) ☺

The base color is Wet N Wild Red Red. For the black dots I used Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris.

I recently chopped my nails down real short (oh no!) and this was a great design to do for short nails. After painting the base color, take a dotting tool (or toothpick...), dip it in a different color, and just make dots all over. They don't even have to be the same size, so easy!

Pink Lemonade (Polka Dots + Tutorial)

Coral is a great summer color for this year. For this mani, I used  2 coats of L'Oreal #410 Mango-Get-Em as the base and let dry.

Love this color. 

Then, I took a Q-tip (people use dotting tools for dots, but you can just use the tip of a Q-tip like me), dipped it in Claire's Yellow Brick Road. I just poked some dots randomly on my nails. It doesn't have to be perfect, because it's not that noticeable. If polish get on your skin, you can just clean it up with a Q-tip and polish remover.

I just love how it came out, it looked so cute and summer-y! Thanks for looking :)
