How to: Polka Dot Nails

I just want to say that I am no expert on nail art, there are probably people out there that can create the Mona Lisa on their thumbnail, very impressive, but who wants that on their nails? Anyway, I came up with an easy way to put dots on your nails. It really makes your nails stand out and its just something different and fun, so please read on...

You can use whatever colours you like, I used a navy blue and white (navy for the base and white dots) and I alternated it on my thumb and ring finger. 

So, first off, paint your base colour. Wait for them to dry thoroughly and then use either a pencil or a cocktail stick and then use some blue tack to make a small ball and stick it firmly on the end, making sure it won't fall off! 

Then you can dip it into the nail varnish or use the brush and paint the blue tack, you don't want it to be dripping off, you just want to enough to just cover the blue tack.

Then carefully press it onto your nail, push down harder if you want large dots and only lightly if you want small ones. Repeat until all your nails are complete! You can be completely random with your dots or you could do them in patterns, like dominoes or dice etc. (I went with random, as you can see). 

This is a very simple trick that everyone can use!
