Summer Dots with Purjoi One Step Gel Polish

Hello Loves!  I have a fun summer doticure to show you today using Purjoi Nail Studios One Step Gel Polishes.  I also have swatches of the colors used in the mani from Monday's post.  Ready to see them?

Summer Doticure with Purjoi One Step Gel Polish

I was feeling something bright and cheerful, and this doticure definitely did the trick.  I started with a base of two coats of Purjoi French White.  Purjoi polishes are a little thicker like most one steps, which makes them very easy to apply and the creams are super opaque.  This white offers flawless coverage!

I then broke out my dotting tool and dotted in circles with Shout It!, Baby Doll and Electrify!

The color of the dots is a little off due to the white base, so let's take a look at the swatches.  Shout It! is a pretty, wine crelly.  For those who aren't familiar with the term, a crelly is a sheer-ish cream with high gloss depth.  In other words, a cross between a cream and a jelly finish.  ;)  This is two coats.

Baby Doll is a medium/bright pink cream that offers great coverage in two coats.  I should note that immediately after curing this one in my Gelish 18G, the color was a tad samon.  Once the gel rested for a bit, it took on the pink tones again.  I've never seen that happen before, but thought I would mention it since I know the 18G is a popular lamp.  If you order Baby Doll and notice it changes, just give it a bit and it will go back pink.  lol

Finally, Electrify! is a neon green jelly.  This is a discontinued color and is currently on clearance so grab it while you still can. ;)  I swatched two coats below.

Since Purjoi is a one step that doesn't have a tacky layer, the dots were a bit raised.  So I finished it off with a coat of High Gloss Clear.  I love this clear!  I can be worn alone as a one step clear polish or as a top coat over art.  It has the same high shine as Purjoi colors and is tack free!  Whoo Hoo!

As promised on Monday, I also have swatches of the colors I used in Monday's mani.  In case you missed it, here it is again.  The colors used are Fierce, Own It! and My Seoul.

Fierce is a classic red cream.  It applies flawlessly and covers beautifully in two coats.  Look at the shine!  That's the Purjoi One Step formula, not a separate top coat. :)

Own It! is a classic silver.  The consistency is similar to a frost, but I found it applied nicely without streaks that are common with frosts.  This is also a two coater.  Of course, with the frosty finish, it is a little unforgiving.  You can clearly see where I filed a gash into my nail plate on my index nail in the second photo.  Oops.  Nail School.

Finally, My Seoul is a beautiful, deep, two coat black.  Gah, that shine kills me!  I find it so hard to believe that a one step gel polish can have a shine like this.  It really blows my mind.  I have top coats that don't produce these results!

If you're interested in picking up any of these colors, you can find them at PurjoiNailStudio.com!  Be sure to check out that clearance section.  There are some pretty colors there that are being discontinued.  :)
