DIY Dotted nails



A while back I started to get interested in doing nailart. I always loved nailpolish, but had no idea these things where possible, until I read about it online. So from then on I looked at youtube videos and articles and tried to do some nailart myself. Luckily I'm patient, but I'm also a perfectionist, which sometimes can be a problem. If it doesn't look the way I want, I will start all over again, which can make it a very long process.



This is quite a easy one, and there are different ways to do it, I did it this way.
You will need a base coat, white nail polish and five other different colors of nail polish. I also used a dotting tool that I bought on ebay, but you can also use a bobby pin or toothpick. The only other thing you need is some paper.

Dotting tool
                                                                             
Nail polish
                             For left to right:
                            * Basecoat, Hema
                            * BYS white nailpolish ( I bought it somewhere in Australia)
                            * Nury pink nailpolish (also from Australia)
                            * Miss Sporty, Green Lemon, Etos
                            * Essence orange nailpolish, Kruidvat
                            * Miss Sporty, Taxi, Etos
                            * Gosh, Miss Minty, Kruidvat
I don't have all the names of the colors, because I don't actually have the nail polish here right now, they are still on their way from Holland.
Step 1
Start with clean nails and apply a base coat, to protect your nails.     
      
Step 2


Apply one layer of white nail polish, you can also do two, but in the end you won't see the white. You can also choose another color or just skip this step.

Step 3
This is where you start dotting your nails. Put a drop of  the pink nail polish on the paper and dip your dotting tool in the nail polish. Then you start dotting it onto your nails.

 
Step 4


                                               

                                           

Repeat this step with all the different colors of nail polish until you don't see the with layer anymore. Now just   use a topcoat for the finish touch and your nail art is done.


Final result
