40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Violet

This week the prompt was violet, along with dotting tools. Just a basic dotted nail but when in doubt as what to do a dotticure always works.

Tutorial: Cloud Nails

I did some cloud nails for a nail challenge I was doing last year and someone asked for a tutorial. Cloud nails are very simple to do, and look more complicated than they are.

What did I need?
Two or three polishes (I used Yes Love - K033, Color Club - Pucci-licious)
Top Coat

1) Paint your base polish coat
2) Using a different polish, paint three 'clouds'
3) Using your base polish (or third polish) paint three 'clouds' leaving a small amount of second polish showing.
4) Top coat the nail art

I did originally try and do a tutorial on my nails but the colours I chose maybe weren't the best for showing the technique;

1) Base polish [A England - Crown of Thistles]

2) Using a different polish, paint three 'clouds' [A England - Lady of the Lake]

Here are a couple of other colour ways I have used using the cloud nail technique;

I think the cloud nails idea came originally from NailSide, if you know different do let me know.

SIMPLES: Dots over Gradient

The Crumpet has a challenge going, to help teach nail art from the simple to the master.

Week 14 is here and we have to come up with a gradient base with dots over the top of it. 
Here is my example;
