Rose Nails against Monday Blues

Feeling a bit less than cheery on Monday is bound to happen but luckily I have the cure! And it's cute.

A while ago I saw this rose nail on Islaay's Blog and really wanted to try it out myself. Well, I did!
And I know what you're thinking, roses are red,violets are blue,your ring finger is green, what's that got to do with the Monday and the blue?

Well it just so happens, my dear Watsons, that I did not forget the blue, thus adding some wee dots of baby blue on the rest of my nails!

See what I did there? I blued it!

I'm a bit in cute mode right now and the rose and the polka dots combine two kinds of cute that I really like having on my fingers.

I tried putting roses on all my fingers but it looked a bit crowded, so I just let it be an accent nail, but I will definitely be doing it again, with other color combinations too.
The thing is, my favorite polish color is mint green, so when given the chance, I will never pass on putting minty goodness on my nails.

Hope that cheered you up a bit, and in case you're still blue, I invite you to come check the blog tomorrow, because there's gonna be an overload of gorgeous autumn pictures and autumn goodies!

But until then, let's see what the other Monday Blues ladies did.

Monday Blues : Baby Blue and Polka Dots

Hey mMonday gals!

Today I present the sad story of a cute manicure in less than flattering lighting...

It was an autumn day, quite sunny in general but oh so short. It was around sunset that I realized the daylight was being lost. As much as I tried, time seemed against me and as it so happened, artificial light was all that remained. The horror! The pain!

I never liked artificial light and I never liked using the flash. That's why I didn't. But as much as I tried to make it work, it didn't live up to its cute potential. I can assure you they're so cuddly in person!

So here we go, baby blue with an accent polka dot ring finger in... *dum dum duuuum* Lightbulb Light!
I can hear you covering your mouth. Yes...I said lightbulb!

 You can see the difference in lighting from one room to another, because yes, I tried 'em all.

The true color is, as usual, somewhere in the middle.
I'm thinking about redoing this post in daylight, maybe just for the sake of comparison and a very long discussion about how I like my light. ( Actually that's a short discussion: from the sun )

But there are some other lovely ladies who went all blue today, and here they are:

Polka Dot Nails and What To Do When You Own No Dotting Tool

Couple days ago I got two very cute polishes. One was THIS the other one was a pretty pastel pink. Obviously I had to try it on,and as I saw it on my nails I knew it needed little polka dots to make it perfect.

The problem was,I own no dotting tool and was wondering what I can use instead.And then,I saw what was going to be the life saving device. I'm gonna get back to it in a sec,but first I'll show you the finished product:

Mi-Ny in Dali

I like to stare at them,they make me feel so pretty 

And now,I want to ask : do you wish to know what made these polka dots happen? Here you go:

 

That's right,my eyebrow brush!

The bottom of it is perfectly rounded and serves its purpose very well.Just dip it in some nail polish you put on a paper and then tap it on your nails.It will leave a lovely dot. I suggest you do it with the brush slightly inclined and not exactly with the tip of the bottom as it will give you more security in maneuvering it.

So in case you want dots and have no tools,I recommend it! :)
