I’ve always liked mint green and purple as a colour combination and I when I saw Essie’s Where’s My Chauffeur? I absolutely fell in love with it and knew the first manicure I did with it would have to be combined with a nice purple.
I wanted to do something simple but fun and needed to practise my French tips as I’m still not great at getting nice clean lines, so the decision was made!

I’d been browsing various items with tutorials for beginners and found loads of great ones at nailsmag.com. I loved this design as soon as I saw it. I also knew it would be within my abilities and was excited to try something that looked so effective but relatively simple.
I wanted mine to look a bit more summery than the one in the tutorial so I picked bright, bold, happy colours. My nails were a lot shorter than the ones in the tutorial so I also had to be careful to limit the number of dots. There was the temptation to go overboard and it was difficult to know when to stop. I think I got the balance right and didn’t overdo it.
I was pretty pleased with this one. Some of my dots could be neater, but I still love this design and I’m sure it’s one I’ll revisit in future.
