I love dotted nail art, as I'm sure you'll notice in some of my other guides, but this is so simple it's a pleasure to do.

Step 1 of 8

After applying a clear base coat, apply 2-3 coats of your base colour. I have used a nearly nude pink.

Step 2 of 8

Next wait for the polish to dry slightly so that it's still a touch clammy. Then pick out some gems, I'm using light pink to go with my pink theme. Place the gems on the nail and press on firmly.

Step 3 of 8

I have only added gems to my ring finger as I prefer it that way. You could do it to all of your fingers if you had enough gems, or maybe every other finger. Which ever you decide looks best.

Step 4 of 8

After your base coat is completely dry with the gems set, use either a fine liner nail polish, dotting tool or bobby pin to dot the rest of your nails.

Step 5 of 8

I have done the other hand in the opposite colours with white gems.

Step 6 of 8

Clean any edges with a cotton bud dipped in nail polish remover.

Step 7 of 8

Last but not least, apply plenty of clear top coat across the gemmed nail/nails. This seals them in from the top so they'll last longer. Enjoy the dottedness!!
