33 Day Challenge - Day 1: Dots

Hello lovelies!

It's Monday, boo! This post is coming a little earlier than I normally post but today marks the beginning of The Crumpet's 33 Day Challenge, and I wanted to be around a computer when this was supposed to go up. Everybody will be posting their manicures Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for the next 11 weeks! I know a lot of talented people are participating in this and honestly, it makes me nervous haha. 

But anyways, on the to nails!

The first prompt for today is dots! It's a nice simple opening theme for the challenge, I think.

More after the jump:

Here's what I used:

I kind of took this challenge also as an excuse to use some of my untried nail polishes and to use ones that I normally pass over. So, this was my first time using ELF's Metal Madness, which I got in a set of 3 polishes for $3, score! It's a really pretty color and surprisingly I like the metallically(?) look to it even though I prefer cremes. My only issue is that it can be a little "brushstrokey" if you aren't careful!

I wish I could have picked up the sparkle from Sally Hansen's Disco Ball with my camera a little better, but when I did these nails, I was still having issues with my light box and the color balancing. These nails remind me of Halloween for some reason haha. I'm only a little over a month early, hehe (:

I did enjoy wearing these nails and I think it was a nice, easy start to a long challenge! Can't wait to see what everyone else did (:

What do you think of these nails? Do you like "dotticures"? Let me know!
