<--<< This design is super simple and all you need are different sized dotting tools. I have decided lately to create 2 accent nails and I like the way it looks. I love the striking purple colors and how well they go with the simplicity of the white detail.

This is another simple dotting tool idea. I got this gorgeous coral color in my Julep maven box and wanted to use it. I also purchased the studs on ebay.com which is a great place to shop and sell (I love both!). They were really cheap and stay on fairly well with a double top coat.
<--<< I saw a floral design similar to this one on another blog and I just loved it. I changed up the colors to use what I had and thought would look good. I simply used dots to create the flowers and placed them randomly. For my thumb, I first painted on the light purple. Then, after it was dry I used my nail decal strips to create the lines for where the purple would show through. Then, I covered it all with the dark blue and took off the decals. It's an easy way to come out with professionally straight lines, which I have the hardest time making even with a striping brush.

Last but not least is another take on coral nails that is great for summer. This one is much lighter with lots of white showing through. I created a grid with the nail decals much like I did with the previous nail. I also used the decals to create the lines on the predominantly white nails. For the little flowery things, I just did one dot on either side of the line and alternated colors.Do what you love and have fun, it's great therapy!
