Week 16- Dotticure Mani


A little late but here is my week 16 Dotticure for the challenge. Here's my Bumble Bee Mani!

I have been working on my scrap booking a lot lately and there is a new baby boy in the family so I haven't found my time for blogging lately, forgive :) I have, though, had my nails painted the whole time. Not all of them were all that exciting though. I do have some past manis to share if I can just make the time and sit down to post them! I will...and soon.


The yellow was Sinful Colors 'Unicorn' and this is my first time ever to wear yellow polish. The formula was crazy sheer and took three heavy coats to opacity. I NEVER use three coats!! It took forever to apply and to dry :P and to top that off when I applied my Seche Vite it pulled like crazy ruining the mani! Sooo.... I had to put on ANOTHER coat and top it with Orly's 'In A Snap' which worked fine. I made my own decals with the bees and free handed the dots with my dotting tool.

This mani was a bit of a PITA but I guess I'm still glad I tried it. I have seen bees and butterfly manis for the past year and always wanted to try them.



I like the larger bumble bee on my thumb the best, too bad I got a bubble in it :P

  2. This is really cute! I totally agree that Unicorn's formula needs help! I hope you used a base coat, because this really stained my nails :(

    1. I wish I would have researched it before because I didn't use a base! I posted this before taking it off so I didn't mention it. I don't think I'll be using this one again. It will be donated to the local neighborhood girls with a warning lol.

  4. Dang bubbles, but the bees are awesome! You did a great job. =) And I love the yellow, too bad it wasn't a nice color to use.
