Hey guys! It's our last week of June's Nail Art Roulette for #CBBxManiMonday and this week my pairing was a Black & White/Nude colour story and a Minimalist theme. Considering I have a tendency to take a more everything-but-the-kitchen-sink kind of approach to my nails, this was outside of my comfort zone but I found that I really loved the results within the parameters of keeping it monochrome and simple. Also... I always forget just how much I love a dotticure!

For this mani, I was inspired by a lot of the minimalist nail art designs that you can find on Pinterest, that incorporates sort of blobs of white polish paired with black dots... so that's what I did. Using Born Pretty Store White Stamping Polish, I just sort of blobbed it on there, making sure to get a sort of loose, blobby side. (How often do you get to use the term "loose and blobby" to describe nail art???) 

For the dots, I used Born Pretty Store Black Stamping Polish along with the medium sized dotting tool from the NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio*, which was perfect for getting the sizes of dots that I was looking for. Once I was finished with the dotting, I let this dry for probably an hour to really give the dots time to harden before I did anything else, because I've ruined many a mani by top coating too early. 

To finish, I added a generous coat of Seche Vive Top Coat and voila!
