First of all, excuse the Grandma in the background. I'm not entirely sure what she made of this nail technique, but huffing and puffing made up 90% of her response. She's way too old school for this 21st Century 'rubbish'. Her words.
So, on Tuesday my nail dotting tools, which cost a whopping £2.19, arrived. eBay. Go. You know you want to.
My friends will tell you that I rush things, probably due to the multiple occasions they have witnessed me walk into doors/people/bushes etc, so very true to nature, I slapped on a ton of black nail polish without even re-doing my base coat (big no no unless you want lovely stained nails) and haphazardly dotted away. I like to think of myself as a bit of a modern day Georges Seurat. With breasts.
The polishes I used:
Barry M nail paint in NP47 (black)
Barry M Nail Paint in 317 Blue moon
W7 Nail Polish in Lilac
Missguided Nail Splash in MissTify
This look is so simple as the nail dotting tools come with different sized ends, so it is really easy to achieve neat dots of varying size.
I chose a black base so the colours I used would stand out, but this would look good with loads of different combinations. I chose 3 colours that I thought worked well together for the dots, and did lines of different sizes/colours on each nail.
Don't forget a good base coat. I like to use Sally Hansen nailgrowth miracle. And use any clear polish as a top coat.

This look is definitely not uniform and there is room for variaton on each nail. I strongly suggest getting some of these tools and having a go :)
Happy polishing <3
