Black & White Polka Dot Nail Art!

Who wants to try a creative Nail Art? Easy as ever, i'm sure you all have heard of this and probably seen this type of nail art.. But hey! most of them have said that its pretty hard because it gets so messedup and don't know how to do the dots properly and neatly and make it look like an actual printed design.

So i'm going to teach this easy tutorial, i know its been pretty much a long time i'm doing a nail art tutorial! So here goes my effort to what i truly tried on my own! I thought i should share with the world :)

What you need,
1) Plain White & Black Nail polish. ( Depends on the colors you apply.)
2) Paint Brush (Size of 0 or 1 )
3) Nail polish Remover + A cloth to send the excess nail polish away!
4) HANDS or TOES :P



Let me give you an introduction first.
- I used a pattern when i painted the Polka Dots.
As you see, i started with one side of the hand and applied a white background and black polka dots in it.
-Then i used a black background on the next finger and white polka dots in this.
-Then again these two above steps repeat until all the fingers are applied.


Now that's my pattern. If in case you want to try something new, like a different pattern...
- You can go for big nice polka dots like mine
- You can put small tiny dots
- You can divide the nail into two halves and apply the two colors and do the opposite of it in the other.
- You can draw a heart? (I've done a nail art tutorial in that one though, you can check that out! )

Alrighty! I have given you some suggestions for patterns, feel free to roam the internet and search..there are so many cute ideas!
So Let's Begin!






How to do :
1) Apply a background. In my case, it was black since i've applied for all my other fingers. Don't smudge it, don't overcoat.

If you do, then when you are doing something random like eating or washing hands or bathing..? the layers will get messed up because you applied a terrible lot of layers overcoating it. Then you'd cover it up again with the colors in the right places, then it'd get even more messy.

2) We are doing Polka Dots, and not all the circles are perfect, and some let's assume you're cutting a nice piece of cloth which has polka dots as the material's design. You probably cut halfway through a circle right? 

So to make your nail look natural, we are going to do the same thing. Apply to the corner of your nail a litte white, and make a nice curve on top. Do this with the Paint Brush i told you to get. Stick it in the white nail polish bottle but don't take much. If you do take alot, make sure you rub it on top of the bottle or somewhere so most of it goes off from the brush.

This one is more like a slight sketch of the half circle.

2) Cover that part up with a little more white. It will look bit dull, but proceed to the next step.

3) Dip the Paint Brush into the white nail polish bottle and get somewhat a lot of nail polish.. and slightly pat into the half circle with the tip of the brush. Slowly do it, it might get messed up.

If by chance, you got a lot of paint on you hands or the half circle is leaking of it, wipe the excess paint off with the cloth. The left nail polish marks will go when you wash your hands properly later on.

4) Paint the full circles! The same way i told you to do the half circles is how you do the full ones.
- Simply take your brush, use a little bit of paint and draw a light sketch.
- Then paint over it a little bit (looks dull yet)
- Finally pat some nail polish of that color with the tip of the brush onto the circle.

You'll end up with this!

Enjoy! Here are some images of what my results of it were... :)

Do yours and enjoy!
