I love June. It feels like the start of brighter things with summer officially beginning in just a few weeks and now I have the perfect way to start ManiMondays this month - PRIDE! It is Pride Month and rainbows are the name of the game this week with this Robin Moses inspired nail art that I found while browsing the interwebs!

Dotticures are one of the easiest and most beautiful manicures and it was the first type of nail art I ever attempted. If you are ever think to yourself, "Nail art is too hard for me" a dotting tool will change your tune because you will feel like freakin' Picasso wielding this thing!
I've done rainbows a few different ways over the seven years of blogging, but never really with dots. I tend to gravitate towards sponge gradients because I have always admired how the colours seamlessly blend together, but apparently it can work with dots too!

I started off with three coats of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Ocean Daze* as it applied a bit patchy and I had to even it out with the third coat. From there it was just a matter of dotting random sized dots in ROYGBIV order using shades from the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Crayola collection in: Wild Strawberry*, Sunset Orange*, Dandelion*, Granny Smith Apple*, Denim* and Wild Violet*. I added a few smaller dots in red to give more of a sprinkle effect and then top coated my design. I definitely want to try this again with different colour combinations because it's a cool way of putting together even unrelated colours!
