Sinful Colors Dotticure

It's officially fall. I raked leaves this weekend. As much as I love all the mature trees in my neighborhood..the leaves are a nightmare this time of year. Took 9 yard bags, and 4 trash cans just to do my front yard!!!

Anyways after that work, I decided some fall nails were in order. I had these grand plans to do some saran wrap nails, but it looked like mud so I started overly completely ;)

I used Sinful Colors Grain de Pouvre for my base. It's a lovely taupe cream. I think it's pretty similar to OPI You Don't Know Jacques and Sinful Color Nirvana, but I need to do a comparison to be sure. 

Here's a picture with a different lighting...much warmer toned!

I think the real life color is somewhere between those two pictures. Either way, it's a great color to wear on its on, or as a base like I did. 

Since my saran plan failed spectacularly, I pulled out my dotting tools and opted for a dotticure:). I used Sinful Colors Cross my Heart (red), Anchors Away (goldy yellow), and Strapped (green) for the dots. I was totally right...these colors together SCREAM fall!

I topped it off with my OPI Top Coat. Strapped dries matte, so I had to slap on extra top coat to even out the look. Random matte dots looked weird..but it did make me want to try a dotticure with ONLY matte dots..that has serious potential, and may be seen before too long. 

I loved this look, and got a ton of comments on it, from friends, coworkers and even a few people at my dentist office:)
