Cute and Minimal Polka Dot Manicure
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I wanted to put together a cute pink-and-red design! You can totally customize this mani for any season, but I really like these colors together.

This was a super simple manicure to create—you can totally create this look with a dotting tool, toothpick, or a bobby pin, whatever you have. This is a really nice option if you’re short on time or starting out on your nail art journey.
As usual, below you’ll find a product list for this one featuring the polishes I used, as well as a quick step-by-step for you. Enjoy!

Nail art tutorial:
Step 1: After base coat, apply two coats of any color creme polish to all your nails. Let all your nails dry for 2-5 minutes between coats and then 2-5 minutes before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Once your base colors are fully dry, using a dotting tool, toothpick, or bobby pin and another color, dab on several various-sized polka dots to your ring nail. You could also create a gradient look by adding bigger dots on the bottom and making them smaller as you go up toward your cuticle.
Step 3: Add a few more dots in various sizes to one corner of your pointer finger. Let dry 2-5 minutes.
Step 4: After letting all of your nails dry for 2-7 minutes, apply top coat to protect your adorable nail designs. Let this dry fully and your mani is complete!
This design turned out so sweet and cute! If you give this mani a try, then definitely share on your Instagram with #tsninspo so I can see and share it with our community. Seeing your beautiful manis is always such a joy!
