i decided to make the best of a bout of insomnia last night. i just could not sleep. i napped yesterday afternoon, thanks to a migraine :(, and then i just couldn't get back to sleep when sleep time came. so i stayed up almost all night watching a documentary about the history of magic and painting my nails. problem with insomnia though... i was exhausted, but could not sleep... being exhausted while painting polka dots on small surfaces means not so great dots. but it's a fun look despite the weird spots, so i'm sharing it with you all anyway :)
i created the dots with what i had around at the time. i don't have any special nail art tools. yet ;) to make the dots i put a drop or two of polish on a scrap piece of paper. the big dots were made by dipping the back end of a pen into the drips on the paper. the medium dots were made with the back end of a Loew Cornell round paintbursh that i use to apply gel/cream eyeliner. and the small dots were made with my trusty Boye US1 double pointed knitting needle. :)
