Nail Art Tutorial- Polka Dots

Hello Ladies, as promised I have photographed a nail tutorial for a simple but very popular type of nail art, Polka Dots. 

What you will need:
-A nail file
-A base coat (I use OPI Original Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. Its a great base coat but adds strength to the nails too).
-A colour of your choice or if you prefer a colour for each nail. I have choosen 4 different shades (I only did 4 nails). I choose Dare to Wear nail polish in "Old New Borrowed Blue", "First Love", "Moon River" and "Butterflies".
-A white nail polish
-A hard surface to place the white nail polish onto
-A dotting tool
-A top coat (I adore Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.


So lets get started:



      STEP ONE: File nails to your preferred shape and choose your favourite nail colours.


                                    STEP TWO: Apply one coat of the base coat to all nails


STEP THREE: Apply two coats of your chosen nail polish to each nail and leave to dry

STEP FOUR: Apply some of the white polish to a hard surface. This is to allow you to pick up the white polish easily with the dotting tool

STEP FIVE: Pick up a small amount of the white varnish on the dotting tool and apply two small dots to the top of your first nail. Then apply three dots in between the two dots that you just applied, then two dots, then three until you reach the end of your nail. Using this method gives a much more even application and looks much more professional. The dots don't have to be exactly the same size but it looks better if they are similar.

STEP SIX: Finally apply a coat of the fast drying top coat and allow to dry. Enjoy your new design.

So that's it ladies, seems simple and it really is when you get used to it but it can take practice. Let me know if you like these type of posts and I will be sure to do more for you in the future. Enjoy the rest of your day whatever you get up to. xxxx
