True story: I have painted my nails a different color and/or pattern every single day this week. I can’t seem to help myself. After I started watching these cutepolish videos, I just wanted to learn and try more!
To date, some of my favorite designs have included this super-genius dental floss hack and this totally remarkable technique for preserving dried flowers on under a coating of clear polish.
But these designs aren’t always applicable to every occasion, and they can be a little bit fussy to pull off. That’s why I was delighted to discover this incredibly easy rainbow polka dot design!
The version displayed in the video is a tutorial for creating a rainbow pattern of different colored polish using a polka dot stippling effect. Essentially, she uses a large dotting tool (but you can also use the head of a round straight pin) and the smaller point of a toothpick to create stripes of different colors along a white base.
What’s awesome about this design is that it’s so freeform. You can stick to the tutorial and go with a rainbow pattern, or you could try an ombre effect with similarly-colored polishes, or keep it really simple with monochromatic polka dots!
Just make sure to start with a white or light base coat, and to finish off with a clear, chip-resistant top-coat. Other than that, this design is your blank canvas for creating a beautiful piece of nail art!
If you’re going to try out this cool effect immediately, please SHARE on Facebook, and show us pictures of your version in the comments!
