Polka Dots

Okay, so Leslie from Polish Art Addiction and I must be on like the same wavelength these last couple of weeks because I painted these nails in early October and just the other day Leslie posted nails that are very similar to these! We both also posted Muppets nails on the same day, weird right? Here are her Muppet nails, and here are mine.

Leslie's version of these nails is much softer and more elegant (BONUS: she also posted a picture tutorial), where as I was trying for some high contrast to be a little Halloween-y. I ended up really liking my thumb, where I alternated the colors creating an almost diagonal effect. 

Retro

I love most things retro, so this design is a homage to how fun and simple the retro look can be!  I used all acrylic paints because I didn't have a lot of dry-time (acrylic paints dry faster than nail polish). I don't do a lot of accent nails, but I think the thumb and ring finger accents are a nice touch -- They make the design a bit less cluttered.

EDIT: As inquired by Sonoma Bento (who is amazing), the inspiration for this pattern came from the below picture. I believe this is a design by Jenn Ski, who seems to make a lot of really amazing retro patterns and put them on kitchenware and other household items. I'm not 100% positive that this design came from her because I just saved it to my computer without keeping its source; however, it is named "jennski," so I can only assume! Regardless of who it's from, trying to figure it out has introduced me to Jenn Ski's amazing art, so you should check out her blog here.
