Polka dots are cute, pretty ways to spice up the way that your nails look. After all, you don’t need any fancy equipment, you don’t need any special polishes, and you can use whatever you have on hand! First of all, collect your materials. Chances are that you will need a good, sturdy brush of some sort. It doesn’t have to be a nail polish brush and it is better if it has a blunt end. If you want smaller polka dots, you can use a toothpick instead. Pick out two or more colors that you really like, a top coat, a paper plate, and a magazine for while you wait!

Then, you need to paint your base color. Use one to three coats, depending on how opaque it is. Really take the time to let your nail polish dry. Sometimes this is overlooked and you might find that your nail polish gets bumpy and rather gross if you so much as move. This is why you want to let it dry for as long as you possibly can.

Next, once you let it dry, put a little bit of your other nail polishes on the paper plate. You probably need no more than a good drop or two, depending on how much you need. Then, proceed to dot.

Be gentle—even with the polish completely dried, you don’t want to accidentally poke too hard and hurt yourself or potentially screw up what you have already painted. Let it dry and either repeat with different colors, or go ahead and put on your top coat!
