NYC Nail Challenge

I was on facebook this morning and seen this photo of Katie Holmes and her daughter which was posted by New York Color facebook page. NYC said "Now all we want today is DOTS and RED...make it happen..." In the picture Katie's daughter Suri is wearing a red sweater around her shoulders and a white dress with black stars on it.



After checking my nail varnish collection I did in fact have the three polishes mentioned in the post which are Pinstripe White, Fine Red Wine and City Blackout. All NYC nail polishes cost €1.99 here in Ireland and £2.49 in the UK.

Here is what I came up with.

Firstly I applies two coats of Pinstripe White. I also make sure the first coat is really thin so the look last longer.

The I created a half moon at the bottom of my nails using Fine Red Wine. 


And finally using City Blackout I created a polka dot design using my dotting tool.



This is an easy, quick nail look that anyone with nail polish and a dotting tool (tooth pick) at home can create. I love doing nail art. You can truly get inspiration from anywhere.
