This weekend was a busy one, taking care of my sick dog. He ate something that didn’t agree with him at all. So I played mama to an unhappy puppy, and I didn’t get toย the many manicures and blog posts I had planned on completing! Therefore, my second dotticure for December’s NCC is a simple one!
I decided to do a dotted version of the ruffian mani. I’ve actually never done a ruffian, but I love the look – so classy and simple. I was worried that this one would come out a bit boring, but I really am loving it!
Dat base color tho! I mean, wow! I used Indigo Bananas Electric Unicorns as that stunning base color. It’s a perfect deep lavender with itty bitty silvery green flakies. Those flakies give the polish a gorgeous shimmery depth to it without looking too frosty. I love it! Indigo Bananas really knows how to do a polish right! ๐
The dots are a coordinating darker purple. It’s the Sephora brand (not Formula X or SOPI) and is called VooDoo Doll. My camera wanted to capture the whole mani a bit more blue than it actually is in person.
Well I just love this manicure! I think Electric Unicorns really stole the show here, don’t you? Do you like this take on a ruffian mani?

Nice ruffian dotticure. I haven’t done one like this too.
Thank you! This was my first, but I definitely want to do a traditional ruffian at some point as well.
It might be simple but it sure is pretty. Hope your puppy is feeling better!
