You'll need a steady hand for this and fresh nail polishes - older ones will be too gloopy and leave 'strings' of polish instead of clean dots!
My pictures are a bit crap and I screwed some of the dots up as I got tired and shaky. This is not my best attempt!!

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Clear Top Coat Nail Polish
  • Base Coat Nail Polish
  • 5 Other Colours of Nail Polish
  • White Nail Polish

Steps (6 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Apply your base coat if you have one. Allow to dry, then start applying your base colour.
    I think white or black always looks best as the other colours will stand out more against it.

  2. 2

    Wait for your base colour to dry.
    Start applying your first colour in a diagonal row of dots, across the centre of the nail.

  3. 3

    Apply the second colour, again diagonally across the nail underneath the centre line

  4. 4

    Apply the third colour diagonally across the nail above the centre line

  5. 5

    Continue to add the different colours in diagonal rows across the nail until they are covered

  6. 6

    Allow to dry for at least an hour before applying a top coat, this will prevent the colours from smudging together!
