Dotting tools!
Well hello there strangers! I haven't done a post in such a long time (6 months in fact!) but I really want to get back in to doing blog posts more often. I just hope that you guys want to still read things like this. I think that is one of the reasons I haven't been posting, is because I'm able to post and interact instantly on Instagram (@RiaHughesThen), but either way I'm going to try! :-)
So recently I purchased some dotting tools on Amazon. They're the ones that most people use I guess because I've seen them on a lot of pictures. They were only £1 with free P&P, so I bought them as they were so cheap really, and because I don't do much nail art, it seemed like a good place to try out something different than glitter polish. It came with 5 tools and both ends have 'dots' on, and there are 5 different sizes.

So the picture above is one of the tools I purchase. (picture from Amazon.co.uk)
I think I most definitely underestimated how hard it is to do tidy dot designs on nails, especially on my right hand because I'm right handed!
This is what I came up with, really simple but quite pretty. I used Nails Inc Sheraton Street and OPI Alpine Snow. I wanted the dots to be relatively even and well separated which was a little bit tricky! It was quite hard keeping the same amount of polish on the tool on each application, but I'll get there! ;-)
There are so many other things that can be done with these tools on the nails, which I've seen on Instagram etc, just like flowers and more intricate designs which I'm looking forward to trying out!
If anyone has any advice on how to keep a steady hand whilst doing dots or what other designs can be done, then please let me know! :-)
Since being away from blog posting, my nail passion hasn't faded, if anything it has grown and I'm loving all the nailspiration on Instagram and YouTube for example.
