Prepare your nails.

- Use pink polish for the index finger, mint green for the middle finger, and light blue for the pinky finger.
- Allow the base colors to dry completely.

Create the nail art designs.
- On the white nails, use a dotting tool to add colorful polka dots in pink and mint green.

Pro Tips
Take your time with each step to ensure precision, especially when creating small details.
For cleaner lines, use tape to mask off areas when painting stripes.
Practice using a dotting tool on paper before applying dots on your nails for better control.
Make sure each layer is fully dry before moving to the next to prevent smudging.
