Summer Polka Dot Nails



These are nails that I've had last year, it's very colorful and perfect for spring or summer! I used pastel colors but you can use any colors you have in your nail polish collection and it will still look great!

The colors I used for this are:
Claire's Mini Polish Set (Yellow, Green, Purple)
O.P.I Italian Love Affair
O.P.I Born to be A-lone Star
Milani White

First I painted the tips of my nails with all of the different colors. If you're having trouble painting straight when you do the tips, you can try a french manicure tape, if you don't have that handy you could even use regular tape and I found that it works just as fine!

Next paint the dots on with the white polish. You could use a bobby pin to paint the dots but using the brush of the polish like a stamp (make sure to dab the extra polish off before dotting!) will work too.

Cover with top coat, then you are done!

If you want to go above and beyond, you could even put decorations on your nails like the picture below! I bought the fruit slices on eBay for $.99 and the pearls for maybe like $1.25.
