Sassy Nails Nailaween Challenge: Day 2 - Matte Doticure

     It is time for me to post day 2's post for the Nailaween Nail Art Challenge.  There are 10 topic in this challenge and the one thing that I love about this is that it is self pace.  We have until October 31 to post all of our manicures.  This works great seeing as how I am in like a gazillion challenges this month...  Not to sure why I did this, but oh well.  It is keeping me busy and I like it.
     The second day of this challenge is to produce a matte doticure.  I was really excited for this one because I have wanted to do a doticure like the one I am showing you for quite some time.  I am so let down with how this turned out.  I had such high hopes and it wasn't what I wanted.  It would have worked if I had a more opaqe orange, but this one would barely show up on the black so I ended up having to use a white base, only for the dots that are overlapping the black, and you can tell that it isn't right.
     I applied the black over the orange using the tape method. After the black dried I went in and added the dots with a dotting tool to give it the interlocking look.

Base coat: Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Hardener
Base color: Citrine from Sinful Colors - 2 coats
Black: Black Creme from Wet N' Wild
Top coat: Essence Nail Art Special Effect! Topper

Funky French With OPI's Pink Friday and Excuse Moi!

     If you can't tell, I have been really in to tape manis lately.  I have a type A personality and there is just something about a straight, clean edge that screams beautiful to me.  Trust me when I say that I wish I had a type B personality.  Art class was so hard in high school because everything had to be perfect and art is not about perfection. I loved clay but everything I did, as previously stated, had to be perfect.  My best friend was a complete B personality and she could throw the most AMAZING pieces of artwork together in an hour and be showcasing her items in artshows.  Where as my carefully planned out day and night projects got A's but never a ooooh or and aaahhhh and never the spotlight.  Maybe this is why I love blogging and doing my nails.  Because my blog is all about my artwork and it attracts people who are drawn to my style.
     Well, all that to say, I have another tape mani for you.  This is my first funky french on here, and I quite liked it.  As much as I love a crisp, clean line, I think next time I will invest in some binder paper rings.  You can see what I am refering to in this tutorial.  I would like my french manicure lines to be a little rounder than they are in these pictures.

Are you a type A personality, or type B?  Can you handle crazy fun nails, or do you like crisp, clean lines? lol.
