Monday Morning Dotticure

It is the end of August, which means I am once again gearing up to go spend a week out at sea counting the fishes. When I'm on ocean trawl, I don't get to look very pretty. I don't wear makeup, I'm in t-shirts and cut up jeans, covered in fish scales and slime, trying to quell my nausea with Dramomine.

Because of this, I usually spend my days prior to trawl putting extra effort into my nails and makeup, because I know I'll miss it so much (judge if you will, but right around day 3 I start to feel a little like a Neanderthal). 

I did a dotticure (that's a manicure featuring dots) for my mom last week and it inspired me to break out my dotting tools and do one on myself this week. I love how it turned out! Sometimes I get so overwhelmed by nail art techniques, I forget about the original pioneers. Dotticures are easy, versatile, and make a big impact. They are also not as time consuming as watermarbling.

While my week out at sea will prevent me from doing a new manicure for next week, I'm going to try my best to test out all of my new Ipsy products before I leave so that I can write up a review for you next Monday.
