Polka dot nails are so simple yet are still impressive and cute. They can be done with any base colour, reds, blues and pastels look great. Then all you need is a white nail art pen or white nail polish and dotting tool. Let's get started!
Prep:
- Apply a clear base coat to protect your nails, especially if you are using a navy colour which, although it looks great, it may also stain your nails.
- Apply your base colour. Here, I have used Prickly Pear by Barry M (link to buy HERE).
Organising your polka dots:
- Create a row of white dots at the bottom. Try to keep them roughly the same size with similar distances between them. I tend to do only three or four so the nail isn't too crowded.
- Above the first row, do a second row. The dots of the second row should be above the GAPS in the first row. This creates the even effect, rather than lines and lines of dots.
- If you have done three in your first row, do four in your second. For larger nails, do four in the first row and five in the second.
- Your third row will go in the same pattern as the first, the fourth row in the same as the second and so on until the nail is completed.
- Allow to dry completely and apply your top coat.
- Don't forget to clean up any mess around the nail to make it look really professional.
Done!
