Another nail post today were I have a trick for creating polka dot nails easily with something you probably already have in your make up bag.
- I use an old felt tip liquid eyeliner brush and I have cleaned and dried throughly, Simply snip the pointy end off with a scissors leaving me with a flat felt tip base.
- Then I cover a plate in clingfilm (clear plastic wrap) and drip some nail varnish onto the plate. Get your eyeliner brush and lightly dip it into the nail varnish - careful not to put too much nail varnish on the brush or it will create blobs not dots.
- I used four differant colors for this look, so I dipped so cotton wool in nail varnish remover and cleaned the top of the brush between colors.
- It is important to take your time with this look and try and leave 2-3mins between each new color.

Top Tip: Do not apply clear nail varnish for at least two after applying the dots are it may smudge and run, ruining the look
Then nail varnishes I used for this look were:
Base; Sally Hansen - Pink Slip
Purple: Catrice - Heavy Metallilac
Orange: Catrice -Fred said Red
Red: Rimmel - Double Decker Red
