60's Red Polka Dot French

A nude and cherry red polka dot French. That's what I wanted to show you guys today! I thought it was very retro and 60's looking, hence the post title :)

Since I've been back, I've been so busy that my nails have been naked for a few days! I managed to finally paint my nails last night with a Speciallita polish I recently received in a swap and I will post that as soon as I've posted these last few manis I did before I went on holiday!


For this mani I used Nails Inc Elizabeth Street, a creamy nude shade with the slightest hint of rose. I use this polish very often as a base for funky Frenches! The tips and polka dots are Nails Inc Victoria, a dark cherry red which is much darker than what you can see in these pictures but as I just applied one coat over the tips, it looks lighter.


Thanks for reading and commenting :)

      I was never a massive fan of nudes but for some reason, I'm really into them now!

    This is just so cute but cute in a way I would wear it. I have not dotted an entire nail for a while - think I will try this one soon - I am really into the more nude shades doing sandwiches with them and soft glitter layers or flakie. But I am ready now for a change from that. I think this is more reflective of the 50's than 60's having grown up in those generations.
