Saturday Skittelette featuring Picture Polish Sky

I really was in a mood for a very girly Skittelette this week (OMG so rare with me - LOL). And I was so smitten by Picture Polish Sky that I wanted to use it once more this week.

Ingredients:


From left: Opi Honey Ryder, Opi Tiffany, Picture Polish Sky, Picture Polish Fairy Floss

And I found it was time for another dotticure:


Recipe:
Pinkie: one coat of Opi Honey Ryder
Ring and middle: two coats of Picture Polish Sky, dots with Opi Honey Ryder and Opi Tiffany
Index: two coats of Picture Polish Fairy Floss

I admittedly went a bit crazy with all those blue dots but I could not seem to stop - LOL!!! I like the soft overall look and I this is for once a Skittelette that would be office appropriate :-).




Final thoughts: I love to do dots with Opi Liquid Sand polishes - they are perfect for this: quite pigmented, excellent formula and an extra effect with the sparkle.  

I wonder - do you wear Skittelettes or nailart for work? I can easily get away with a Skittelette as shown today or some "soft" nailart but I feel that I need to reign myself somewhat when it comes to very blingy or colorful Skittelettes - I just feel it a tad inappropriate.

I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!

Christine

    Hi pet! What a pretty skittelette!! I love the soft colors and there can never be too many dots ;) Lol!
    I can wear what ever I want for work on my nails! :D In my job it's the crazier the better! LOL! The more vivid nails I wear the better and more creative florist people think I am! ;) I feel very lucky to be able to wear what I want on my nails actually. I know many polish lovers can't do that.
    I really must try a dotticure with textured polishes!! :D Sounds great!
    Hope you are having a great day love! I'm preparing for next week ;) Viele Küsschen!!! xxx

      Hi doll, haha, when typing this question I thought of you and frankly envied you for this a little bit ;-)!!! It is not too bad at my place and luckily I did not get anything beyond - oh not enough polish to paint all your nails with the same one? Have a lovely start of the week and Knuffel for Smilla and viele, viele Küsschen xxx

    I'm lucky to have a lot of freedom at work. I work in a dental office and my patients are always asking to see my weekly manicure. They all love my art!!

    This is so beautiful Christine! :) I love love LOVE Sky. Although I don't do nail art, I wear whatever I want to the office. I'm an accountant, but I always match my nails to my outfit (green or blue or whatever), and my boss (a guy) thinks I am always pulled together so nicely...he loves nail polish, LOL, so I'm really fortunate that he's so nice. :D

      Hi Melissa, thank you so much love :-)! Your boss loves nailpolish? How cool!!! I have no idea about mine. He is a devoted scientist and oblivious to appearences - my other boss is more into classic elegance - he once made a remark about preferring Chanel - I said I volunteer as "carrier" of Chanel clothes, but.... LOL!!! So when the Chanel boss is here I always try to go a bit under the radar. And I rarely match my nails to my outfit - most of the time it fits though and if it doesn't (like today) I call my style eclectic :-D!!

    This is so cute! You are so talented. I love the colors you chose:) As you know, I wear skittlettes, but I don't wear nail art. Not that I don't think it's appropriate, it's just not my style. But I LOVE looking at nail art :)

      Hi Essie - thank you <3!!! Well I have great inspirators (probably not an existing word but so aptly describes lovies like you)!!! And you showed me more than once that no Picasso talent is needed to go with an artsy look :-)!! Oh and I definitely love to look at nailart too :-)

    What a lovely and sweet skittlette! As Vicky said : perfect combo! I agree with you, very bold nail art is not appropriate for work in my opinion either. I suppose that I let myself go since I work from home. But I imagine that I could not sport anything more than a sober French with a twist, or a muted skittle mani where I used to work. Bisous, xxx

      Salut Nati - thank you sweetie, I am so happy you like it :-)! Ah yes, in your former and my still work environment a sort of muted style is recommended. However I did get bolder and slowly people started to get used to. Right now - as long as I wear the same color on all nails - I can go for anything I want - and I indulge ;-) Bisoux xxx
