The base polish is from Milani, a bright Barbie pink called U Pinky Swear. I did have a little trouble with the application on my left hand, but none on my right. So what you're seeing here may be the result of not waiting until my base coat was completely dry. Everything smoothed out later, with topcoat. This is two coats, no topcoat, yet.
For the dots, I wanted something equally bright that could compete with the Milani. Barielle End of the Rainbow is an iridescent peacock blue/green, and Chick All A Twitter is a baby blue. These worked really well for dotting. The Barielle was opaque enough to work as both an outline and the interior, as was the Chick polish. As you can see, I alternated the colors.
I think the Chick polish may be the best polish I've ever used for dotting. It had the BEST texture. It spread perfectly and effortlessly, didn't dry out on my palette until I was done, and was perfectly opaque, even though it is a light, pastel color. I can't wait to use it again.
Right hand, sealed with Seche Vite topcoat:
