Good morning dear readers! How are you all doing today? I'm about to get busy packing up my stuff for the vacation but I'm quite lazy so I'll probably end up doing that tonight haha. Now, about this manicure: one of the Dutch sites I frequently visit is Linda's site called Beautytreat. She is really into make up but once in a while she has a cute nail art tutorial, like she had a couple of days ago. If you're curious about the tutorial you can watch it here. It is in Dutch but the pictures and film are very clear so I think everyone will understand it.
This is my version! I've painted my nails with OPI What's With the Cattitude? and one nail of OPI Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees Suede. The dots are created with a dottingtool and the polishes mentioned, as well as Orly Shine and China Glaze 2030. I've sealed it with a top coat so the suede isn't suede anymore - the glitters are popping out.
In the picture above you see the manicure mattified. I'm really liking this! I used China Glaze Matte Magic as my matte top coat. It's one of my favourite matte top coats but after using it for a while it starts to leave little white flecks on my nails just like every other matte top coat I've used before. Why is that?! :-(
Well, that's it for now. I'll update one more time again tomorrow and then there will be scheduled updates since I'm on vacation. Whooptiedoo! Have a nice day!

Leuk gedaan en de matte versie is naaaiis! Wel vreemd dat hij die witte vlekjes geeft!
Love the manicure. Shiny and matt, they look great
Oh, that's really cool! I love that look!
Love it! HOT!
My Matte Magic does the same thing!
I've discovered that as you wipe off excess polish at the top of the bottle, it will dry and turn white. Then it will get caught on your brush as you paint your nails, or it will flake back into the bottle and leave white flecks in the polish! I clean the top of my bottle with a cotton ball soaked in polish remover every time I use it, and I've noticed a lot less flecks since then :)
I hope that helps!

Hi Rachel, thanks for the comment! I always clean my bottle cap and neck before using the matte top coats but it doesn't seem to help a lot. Maybe the white flecks are in the polish itself?
I've emailed a company once but they didn't reply so I will do that again.
