Square Hue Interlocking Dotticure

Happy Monday! I have what I think is a very cute manicure for you all today. I have been anxiously awaiting my first Square Hue subscription box since like March 27! I couldn't wait to see what colors were in there! The suspense was killing me! Finally it arrived on Friday and I spent all weekend oooohing and aaaaahing and trying to figure out what I was going to do with them!

Originally I was going to swatch them all and give you all a review on each individual color. However, fate decided otherwise. I had a perfectly done swatch of one color on, and stepped outside on my porch to admire them. At that moment, one of my boys came outside to play basketball with the other 4 14 year old boys I had at the house and slammed the front door. It was locked. And no one with opposable thumbs was inside the house.

Grr.

So in the process of breaking into my own house, I smudged four nails. Rather than redo them, I came up with this rescue mani and I think it turned out well! My boys thought they were strawberries, but they don't know anything about nails anyway lol!

First, I painted two coats of Beethovenstraat with a coat of top coat. I liken this color to a mix between olive green and lime green. It's not quite bright enough to be lime, it's not dark enough to be olive. It's a fun color for summer for sure! Then, using striping tape, I taped off half my nail and used Kalverstraat to paint on one side of the tape. Kalverstraat is a difficult color to describe. In the bottle, it looks bright pink. Over Beethovenstraat, it looks tomato red. Coming off on the cotton ball with remover, it looks orange. Square Hue's website shows it as pink, so we'll go with it's a bright pink high gloss creme! I then used Beethovenstraat and Kalverstraat to dot along the taped line alternating colors. When I was done with that I put Beethovenstraat dots on the Kalverstraat side and vice versa!

I've been trying to do this dotticure ever since Heather did it on I Feel Polished some time back. I have ALWAYS messed it up! So you can imagine my excitement when this one turned out!
