Steps

Gently shape the free edge; leave the cuticles intact.
Start with clean, dry nails. Apply base coat according to its label.
Apply thin coats of your chosen regular polish and let each layer dry.
On a dry base, place a small amount of contrasting regular polish with a nail-art dotting tool. Use light pressure for tiny dots; join two dots with a short tapered stroke for a heart. Painted dots are a flat alternative to raised pearls or crystals.
Add top coat following its label and allow enough drying time.

Tips

Use the same small dot size on every nail and leave a visible taupe margin between each dot and the cuticle.
Taupe, one gold dot. Use this original concept as a visual reference. The home version uses regular polish and does not reproduce extensions, raised decorations or specialist salon effects.

Before you begin

Use only regular air-dry polish for this guide. Follow the product labels, ventilate the room and stop if irritation occurs. Do not use damaged or painful nails.
