BABY BLUE & GOLD NOTD

Bet you thought I forgot about guys today, didn't ya? The day just blew by and I didn't get time to post earlier today, so I'm doing it from home tonight.

My NOTD started with about 5 coats of China Glaze - Moody Blue, a very watery, baby blue jelly polish. I love this color and think it is worth it to paint the 5 required coats. I ordered some little metal initial nail art bits from Transdesign several months ago, and actually forgot I had them until the other day. I decided to use them on my ring fingers. I used little gold dots to form a circle around the "B" and to form a polka dot pattern.

  5. Beautiful shade of blue. Would it help to use a white nail polish first? Or maybe it would lose the jelly quality. Five coats is so much but I love it. Love the dots and the initial. Very pretty manicure. Have a wonderful weekend.

  16. Great manicure! Love how the 'B' sticks out, but the added gold polka dots help it all mesh into a gorgeous blue/gold mix.

    Moody Blue is a beautiful blue, but for some reason it reminds me completely of RBL Bikini Bottom - especially with the 5 coats needed. Do you know if they are similar?
