Polka Dot Party

Hi guys!

Ready for manicure time? haha! :)

This past weekend, my friend Vanessa came over and we spent almost two hours doing our nails! The silvery-blue ones on the left are mine, and the orange and lime ones on the right are hers.

One thing you spot? Polka dots!
haha!

Polka dots are our new obsession, and they're very easy to do on your nails! Instructions to follow :

- First, apply your "base" color, and wait for that to dry.
- Don't apply your top coat yet! Take your secondary color, the color in which you want the polka dots in, and assemble some tools. Make sure this color stands out against the base! We chose white.
- For those of you who have steady hands, you can go ahead and start dotting your nails with the brush!   Make sure it has enough polish on the brush to make a good, solid dot. You can choose to do it in columns and rows like we did, or you can opt for the messier let's-dot-everywhere approach.
- If you don't have a nice steady hand, that's okay! I don't either, that's why you can see the messier polka dots are on my nails, haha. You can either use a Q-tip to make smudgier, bigger dots, or you can take a paper clip, unravel it so that it looks like a big line, then dip it in the polish and do dots that away. You'll get smaller dots, but they'll be neater and you can fit more on the nail.
- Wait for that to dry, then apply your top coat, and you are done! :) You don't want to accidentally swirl your dots, so waiting is essential.

That's it, guys! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are having lovely day!
