Hi Everyone, Last week I showed you a bunch of things you can find around the house to use as dotting tools for your nails
as an alternative to a set of dotting tools like this
this week you can use those tools again to help create 3 more simple do to dotting tool nail designs
I hope you can give them a try and let me know which ones are your favourites
As always start with base coat to protect your nails from staining
The first design I'm going to show you is very similar to the Pebble nail tutorial I did a few weeks ago
start by opening all of the nail polish colors and apply a thick coat of a base color
while that layer is still wet, quickly start dripping the other colors onto the nail using the nail polish brush that comes with the bottle
Place a couple drops of each color randomly over the nail
when all the colors are on, wait about 20-30 seconds for the nail polish to settle
You will see that the drops of nail polish will spread out a little bit with the help of the wet base color to create some irregular shapes
If you see any empty areas, then go back with a couple more drops of nail polish to fill in the spaces
Give it a minute or 2 for those colors to dry
then use the smallest dotting dipped in white polish and decorate with some dots on one of the nail polish colors across all your nails
Wait for that to dry and apply top coat to protect your design
on to the second set of nails. This design kind of looks like blobs or pods or geometric circles
whatever you want to call it, It's simple and easy and anyone can do this
I'm starting with a white base color
let that dry and have your biggest dotting tool ready
Start with a few bigger dots in groups of 2 or 3's
You can join them vertically or horizontally
then add a couple of single dots to fill in the spaces
If the dots didn't come out as big, just dip again and press onto the same spot to expand the dots bigger
Next Use the medium sized dotting tool and a second color to dot within the circles
Leave a couple of empty spots to create variety to the design and that's pretty much it
Apply similar random patterns to the remaning nails to create a set
Tell me what you think this design reminds you off. Looks kind of like alien DNA to me
Finally the last design today is this rainbow colored wave design
Go nuts with your color selections. if you don't have much to choose from, then a 2 color alternating pattern will also look pretty awesome
Use the biggest dotting tool and start building rows of dots on your nails one by one
starting from the root of the nail where its more narrow, use 3 dots
once you get to the next row where you have some more room, add a couple more dots
Make sure you leave about the same amount of height for each row so the colors look more even
Repeat steps until the entire nail bed is filled
Once you get to the tip of the nail. fill in the remaining areas to finish this design
Then wait a couple of minutes for all that to dry then apply top coat to prolong the wearing time of your manicure
