NOTD: Cookie Monster

The bf thinks I'm some kind of child-hating monster because I loathe loathe LOATHE Will Smith's kids (and wife, but that's another story...). Not ashamed of it; they're really cocky and annoying. I hate overly precocious children... damn, just be a kid. Anyways, today's polka dot mani made me think "cookie monster" (yum). I got to try out my new nail dotting tool... love! Making kicky retro-ish designs just got THAT much easier y'all. Also made use of my brand new caramel-colored polish, OPI's San Tan-Tonio, part of their Spring/Summer 2011 Texas Collection.

Here's the polish on its own:

This polish really stood out to me in the beauty supply store, as I've been on a nude kick lately with my makeup and this shade matches my skin tone almost exactly. OPI describes San Tan-Tonio as "honey tan," which is very accurate. Application was creamy and opaque; only needed about 2 coats to fully cover the nail.

San Tan-Tonio is lovely and work-appropriate (yet fashion forward) on its own, but to up the jazziness of my mani a little, I added some dots:

Business on the left; party on the right

After 2.5 hours of perfecting my use of the dotting tool (had to start over again more than once ), we have this:

Yay!
