40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Black & White

nothing to disclose 

Hi, all! Hope you're having a nice weekend! I've got a short and sweet post for right now that is part of the next round of posts for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas! This week all the ladies are taking on the color prompt of Black and White while each doing our own unique pattern prompt.

My prompt this week is "Dots"! I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to tackle this one but when I searched google for 'black and white dot art' a bunch of Aboriginal artwork popped up and I knew I wanted to do something inspired by that.

April Nail Art Challenge - Ombré

I am finally back home with all of my lovely nail polish babies and let me tell you, they missed me! And I suppose I missed them a bit as well ;)

The current April Nail Art Challenge Theme is Ombré. There is some debate as to the difference between ombré and gradient. When I started getting into nail art, I found this post from The Swatchaholic and it has become my guide to naming these techniques. It explains the difference between a gradient, an ombré, and a skittle mani. This is the naming convention I follow, so bear with me if you think of an ombré as what I think of as a gradient. 

Anyhow, I wanted to spice up the basic ombré a bit and ended up doing a doticure with each of my ombré colors. I didn't think I was going to want to leave these on (I even had my next mani planned out and was going to start on it tonight!), but I ended up loving them...so much so that I even painted my dominant hand.
