NOTD: Nail Art Dotting Tool

They're not spooky, or scary, or Halloween themed at all, but they sure as hell are cute! A long time ago I ordered some nail art dotting tools from eBay and this is the first chance I've had to use them. You can buy them from this seller here: link for £1.38 but there is lots of these packs available all over eBay and Amazon for a similar price.

What I did to create this Minnie Mouse-esque nail design was a little tricky on the first go but extremely simple after a little bit of practise. Mine aren't perfect, especially on my right hand (deliberately not pictured!) but this was my first attempt and practise makes perfect.

 

All that I used was 2 coats of Models Own 'Red Alert' for the base, a random white polish that is intended for french manicure tips, the green dotting tool and a steady hand. It's as simple as you would expect; dip your tool into the varnish and blob it onto your nails, then finish off with a top coat. I went for a plain and simple 'polka dot' style design but these dots can be used to create all sorts of patterns and prints on the nails - I've seen others use them for intricate floral designs which I'd love to have a go at some time.
