First you'll need to get all of your tools together to make the process much easier. Chose a base coat colour (I used OPI Alpine Snow), and then one or more colours to make the dots in a contrasting colour. I can't remember all the colours I used I'm sorry, but I chose to use six colours to make a statement. I decided to use different sized dotting tools (you can also use a tooth pick or end of a bobby pin) so the dots were different sizes, but again, the choice is yours.
Simply paint your nails all in one colour, wait for this to dry, and then dot on the colours you want wherever you want on the nail. I chose to put the dots all over, but I've seen many pictures of people who have put the dots either down one side of the nail, or in a gradient pattern. Wait 10-15 minutes to make sure it's totally dry and the put a thick layer of top coat to protect the design. Ta da!
Next time I do a polka dot manicure I'm planning a baby pink or grey base with a variety of shades of pink dots. I can't wait!
