Monday Blues: Pastel Dots

Hello my lovelies! As you're reading this I am away on a small vacation and hopefully having lots of fun. Of course I needed to schedule a post so I wouldn't miss the Monday Blues of this week. The manicure I'm showing you today was inspired entirely by spring. I really wanted to have some pastel colors on my nails so I created these on a whim. They didn't turn out exactly like I pictured them in my head and my camera died on me after I took the first picture. I had to use my old camera, hence the weird looking pictures. Oh well.

This manicure was created using just British polishes. The base color is Barry M Huckleberry, a lovely light blue pastel creme. I used Barry M Sugar Apple and Models Own Banana Split for the dots. They don't really pop over the base, especially in the photos but they looked better in real life.

I wore these nails for a few days because I didn't have time to change them but I must admit that I didn't enjoy them very much. Maybe it was too much pastel, or my nails were too long for this type of colors, but something was off.

Please let me know what you think of these. I'm sure they would look better with a different combination of colors. Or maybe on shorter nails. Don't forget to check out the rest of this month's Monday Blues in the links below!
