Crumpet's Nail Tarts - Tri Polish Challenge May 1

Hello everyone! This month, I'm participating in my first Tri Polish Challenge hosted by the Crumpet's Nail Tarts. The rules are simple: your only allowed to use three colors chosen for each month and to make four manicures out of them. At least one manicure has to include all three colors and the rest has to include at least two colors. Your also allowed free use of white, black, silver, gold, and glitter toppers. Debbie from The Crumpet has a great post explaining the rules here.

The colors for May are blue, grey, and red. For the three colors, I chose to use all American Apparel polishes. I chose to use Cameo Blue (blue), Downtown LA (red), and Echo Park (grey).

I came up with a pretty simple manicure. I used Cameo Blue as my base color and then I applied Downtown LA in the middle to make a stripe. Taking Echo Park, I used my dotting tool to create some dots inside the red stripe.

I was pleasantly surprised on how this turned out. It's actually better than I expected. What do you think?
