nail art!💅🏼✨ it's been awhile since I've posted a nail tutorial but this one is about as simple as it gets and looks awesome no matter how you place the dots :) #nailart #nailtutorial #diy #internationalwomensday [1]

Popular YouTube blogger Amymarie Gaertner [2] recently took to Instagram to provide a chic and customizable take on typical polka-dot nail designs [3]. She starts her tutorial by lacquering her nails navy, creating one white accent nail. Then, instead of painstakingly painting on perfect dots, she uses a dotting tool for various pointillist patterns [4]. Each talon is different, resulting in an eye-catching look.

The great thing about this particular technique is that you can tailor it to your personal taste and nail art skills [5] . . . because there are plenty of us who would feel pleased by just crafting a few solid spots. If you don't have a dotting tool, don't fret — using the head of a bobby or sewing pin works just as fine!
