DIY Nails~Patriotic Polka Dots


Happy 4th!!! Red with white polka dots is perfect for Independence day, and very easy to do! What I used: N.Y.C. Big Apple Red, Sally Hansen Snow Blast, and a ball-point pen.



I started with a coat red nail polish. I let dry for 15 minutes or so. Next, I used white nail polish and just a regular ball-point pen to apply it. It's actually crackle polish...But it made smooth dots. The ball-point pen makes the perfect sized dots in my opinion. Just brush the polish onto the pen point until it's well-covered but not dripping. I used the polka dot pattern from my scarf as a guide. My dots were thick, so you could feel their texture on my nails. To seal it in and make a smoother finish, be sure to put a clear coat on top!



 Have a wonderful day celebrating our hard-won freedom, shoot some fireworks, and put some polka dots on your nails!
