Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- File your nails to your desired shape.
- Gently push back your cuticles using a cuticle pusher.
- Apply a base coat to protect your nails.
2
Apply the yellow base color.
- Apply the yellow nail polish evenly across all nails.
- Allow the first coat to dry completely before adding a second coat if needed.
3
Create the dot pattern.
- Using a dotting tool or toothpick, dip into the white nail polish.
- Gently dot the polish onto your nails, varying the size and placement of the dots.
- Allow the dots to dry before proceeding.
4
Finish with a top coat.
- Apply a clear top coat over the entire nail design for shine and protection.
- Ensure the top coat covers the dots to seal everything together.
5
Clean up the edges.
- Use a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover to clean any excess polish around the cuticles.
- Allow everything to dry completely before using your hands.
Pro Tips
Use thin coats of polish for quicker drying and a more even finish.
If you don't have a dotting tool, a toothpick works just as well.
For added longevity, consider using a gel top coat instead of a regular top coat.
Practice on a piece of paper to get comfortable with dot sizes before applying to your nails.
