Rainbow Dotticure Tutorial

Hey guys! Today I bring you one of the easiest nail art designs to do, a dotticure! Dotticures are basically any kind of dotty/spotty mani, and there is are just endless designs you can come up with using dots. All you need is a dotting tool or a bobby pin, and because this design uses so many colours, acrylic paints would be a fine substitute if you don't have that many polishes, just make sure to seal them in with top coat or they'll wash right off. Even though it might appear pretty self-explanatory, read my tutorial below to see how to make your very own rainbow dotticure :)

What I Used:

- OPI Ridge Filler Base Coat
- OPI Alpine Snow 
- OPI Romantically Involved
- OPI Where Did Suzi's Mango
- OPI I Just Can't Copeacabana
- OPI Jade Is The New Black
- OPI No Room For The Blues
- OPI Keeping Suzi At Bay
- OPI Do You Have This Colour In Stock-holm
- OPI Do You Lilac It
- HK Girl Glisten and Glow Top Coat
- Dotting tool from winstonia 
- Nail polish remover and cleanup brush

1. Apply a base coat to protect your natural nails from stains and provide a smooth bae for polish.

2. Paint your nails two coats of a white polish and allow to dry.

3. Starting with your index finger and a red polish or paint, use a dotting tool to create large and small dots down one vertical half of your nail, trying to keep the dots evenly spaced apart. You can use two different sized tools, or just vary the pressure with one tool or a bobby pin to produce different sized dots.

4. Do the same with an orange polish/paint down the other side of the nail until your whole nail is covered in dots.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 on your other nails with different colours, with two colours on each nail. If you want a rainbow effect then use colours in the order of the rainbow, otherwise you can use any colours of your choice.

6. Allow your nails to dry before adding a top coat. Apply your top coat in a thick layer to avoid dragging the brush through your design and smudging the dots. Clean up any mess around your nails with polish remover and a brush or cottonbud.

So simple! If you guys liked this design, let me know in the comments below, and feel free to let me know about any suggestions for other designs you'd like me to try out. Thanks for reading, and I'll see you next time :)
