Fall Leaves-Inspired Dotticure

My camera battery charger is MIA since moving, and while iPhones take decent pictures, it just hasn't been cutting it for nail pictures. I have been really disappointed with how all of my pictures have been turning out lately. I really need to find that charger, because these could be so much better!

Anyway, driving into town one morning and seeing all the bright, fiery, fall trees with pops of still-green leaves is what inspired this manicure. Completed, it doesn't really make me think of fall leaves, but that's where I got the idea for the color scheme.





I started out with a base of Sally Hansen Sorbet from their (not so) Smooth & Perfect line, then sponged a bit of some sheer, pearly green L.A. Colors number that has no name on top.

The dots are done with:
Red - Sinful Colors Gogo Girl
Green - China Glaze Tree Hugger
Yellow - China Glaze Sunshine Pop
Neon orange - China Glaze Sun Worshiper
Darker orange - NYC Times Square Tangerine
