Pediatric and Breast Cancer awareness mani aka Pink and Gold mani

Nail art has never been my forte. I decided to bust out with the dotting tools and my tape…Don’t laugh too hard. I swear, I’ll get it right one day. For now, please know I’m a n00b at this.

The colors I used were Ginger and Liz’s Got My Groove Back and The-brand-that-shall-not-be-mentioned’s If You Moust You Moust.

I wanted to do something fun for me, but not in the Ruffian Mani with a French Mani accent kind of way that I do things.

I took some tape and made the V you see on my pinkie nail. I also taped off my middle finger in the section. I also busted out with the dotting tool. Truth be told, I’ve always been a bit scared of doing nail art and, most importantly, the dotting tool.

Dotting tools are a little frustrating to me. I can’t seem to master using them. I know that they’re fun and I love seeing what people have done with them, but for some reason I just can’t ever really get it to work. Everything always looks like a fail. At least to me…and then to make matters worse, I thought I’d try to make this pink and gold mani all cute by using a matte top coat on my pointer and ring finger. You can’t even tell it has the top coat on. It looks sort of…shiny. Le sigh. Oh well, at least I tried and I ventured out with nail art…It’s something I rarely ever do. I may have to try it some more.

So here is my offering of a mani for Pediatric and Breast Cancer awareness.
