How to Create Polka Dot Nail Art

Polka dot nail art is a simple yet playful design that can add a fun element to your manicure. To create polka dot nail art, start with a base coat and your desired background color. Once dry, use a dotting tool or the end of a bobby pin to apply dots of different colors onto your nails. You can create a uniform pattern or a random arrangement. Finish with a top coat to protect the design and add shine. This cheerful style can be enhanced with the precision of Russian manicures, ensuring clean and evenly spaced dots.
