Dot Dot Dot

If you get yourself a dotting tool, you'll never have boring nails again, except by choice :-p. Dots can make a border on the base of french tipped nails or cover it like polka-dots. I had to cut all of my nails short because I chipped one :-/ ... but dots still look good on short nails, unlike some other designs that really need that extended surface.

Here's why I like dot designs:
1. Easy - it's just poke the paint, then poke your nail
2. Fast - dots use little paint
3. Versatile - you can make flowers, borders, abstract art, patterns... there are many options when playing with dots.

Featured Design this week is High Contrast Black on White


Here are some other designs you may want to try with dots:

 Ombre Dots
 Yellow to green to teal on grey :) Try smaller or larger dots.

Porcelain Motif 
Do a blue french tip on white. Use the large dotter on the bottom edge 
of the french tip to make the lacy pattern.


Strawberry and Watermelon

Up for a picnic?


Polka-dot French Tip, Waiting, Dot Border and Bow, Diagnal Polka-tip, Mustache
For Mustache, do two large dots next to each other and then drag the paint with the small dotter to create the shape.

Experiment with patterns. I'd love to hear and see what you come up with :)
