Funky Polka Dot Nail Art

Funky Polka Dot Nail Art

This week, Claire shows us how to pull off some funky polka dot nail polish - cool! Find out how you can do it here.

Hey TGs! Welcome to the second post in my series of blogs on DIY nail art.
This week I'm going dotty for polka dot nail art! This effect is fun, girly and best of all it's really easy.

Blue and white polka dot pedicure!

Let's get started.

You'll need
:

  • One nail polish colour to be your base colour;
  • One (or more!) nail polish colours to contrast;
  • A skinny paintbrush or toothpick


What to do:

  1. Prepare your nails: get them clean, free from grease, dry and neatly shaped with a file.
  2. Apply your base coat - two or more thin coats should build up a nice base colour. Allow drying time.
  3. Here's the fun part. Dip the tip of your fine paintbrush or toothpick into a contrasting nail polish colour and gently place dots of colour onto your nails. Go easy: just a little pressure should form a nice neat dot. Also, try not to get too much polish on your dotty tool - you might accidentally make a splodge!

Don't worry if the dots are not all the same size. It can be cute with a few different sizes of dot. You could do just one colour of dot, or go crazy with multi-coloured dots! Seal your art with a clear top coat.
Tips: This can be a bit fiddly, especially with your left hand (assuming you're right-handed). You could either ask Mum for help or else try a 'feature nail' - just decorate one of your 10 nails. The ring finger is best for this. Or, you could try this effect on your toes, like in the picture. That's cute too.
