I love dots. If you have been reading my nail art posts you'll get to see that almost all of my tuts have dots on them. So same with what i did today.
Time to let the pictures do the talking...As usual, you can choose your own set of colors. But these are what i used:
Blue- White
- Nude
- Hairpin or dotting tool
- Start with clean nails that has been coated with a base. Apply your base color, i choose a nude color so you'll see the contrast. Let dry
- Dip the hairpin on the chosen base color for the dot.
Press it randomly on the nail. You have to make sure that you press it hard so that the dots will be big.
Let it dry.
- After it's dry then its time to make the smaller dot. Dip the hairpin again the other color, i have white with me.
Then lightly touch the blue dots with the white tip. don't press it hard. You just want a little dot inside the blue to give it a flair.
Let it dry
Then apply a clear polish & a top coat!
You need to have a steady hand when you put the white color because you want it to be at the center, but you can also have fun & just overlap the 2 of them!You can also just use 2 colors. The base color can also be the one that will be used to top the 1st dot.
You can also go crazy retro by using pinks & yellows!
I will do some more variations of this design but for now this basic 2 tone polka dots can get us started!
You might be wondering if i have steady hands...well, not exactly. Im right-handed, so i can do my left nails better than the other. See this pic?
I can't get the white dots be smaller because i tend to press it hard since my hands are a bit shaky...Thy don't look a like at all!
But then, i still think that both are pretty!
There ya go...a simple & quick nail tut.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend, ladies!
Jaa ne~!
