this week we do polka dots with the current trend of ombre gradients. the idea was initially seen on nailgasm , a documentary about nail art.
tools: white nail polish, 3 different size nail dotting tools, 3 complimentary but contrasting nail polish colors.
step 1: paint two coats of white nail polish. i used essie- blanc.
step 2: after the base is completely dry, using your largest dotting tool and your darkest nail polish shade, i used essie- fishnet stockings, dot two rows beginning at the top of the nail.
step 3: still using your largest dotting tool, dot one row of your second darkest color, i used essie- fiesta.
step 4: using your second largest dotting tool, dot one row of your second darkest color, essie-fiesta.
step 4: still using your second largest dotting tool and now your lightest nail polish shade, i used essie-carousel coral, dot two rows below your previous row of dots.
step 5: using your smallest dotting tool, dot one row of your lightest nail polish shade, essie-carousel coral.
TIP: alternating the size of the dots helps you achieve more of a gradient effect, not only in color but in size!
step 6: complete the look with one coat of your favorite top coat.
