I named this blog post “3-step nails” because these are really, really simple- the manicure took me about a half-hour from start to finish (that’s including waiting for the polish to dry adding a top coat). Stay tuned next week for another fun manicure, which is even easier than this one- it’s only 2 steps!
To see how I did these mint polka dot nails and a list of products used, please keep reading!
3-step nails: mint polka dots (with gold accent nail)
-Medium-sized nail dotting tool (Shown: Winstonia nail dotting tool set, $2.95 @ Amazon)
-Nails Inc. Holland Park Gardens (muted mint shade)
-Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Matte White Pick It Fence LE (matte or non-matte white shade)
-Sinful Colors Gold Medal (light gold shade)
Apply 2 coats of the mint polish, leaving ring fingernail bare
That’s it! I waited about 20 minutes after this before applying my top coat, but depending on how long your nails usually take to dry, this amount of time may vary.
Before I wrap this up, can I take a moment to share how obsessed I am with these two IMPOSSIBLY cheap Forever 21 rings? I think they were both $1.80. Forever 21 jewelry isn’t usually the best quality (you get what you pay for… the necklaces usually rust pretty quickly), but I’ve had the geometric one for about 2 months now and it still looks new. Love cheap jewelry finds.
Thanks so much for reading! (And TGIT! Any fellow Shonda Rhimes fans?)
PS: BIG thanks to my best friend Christina for gifting me this double-ended dotting tool set for my birthday! I had no idea how fun dotting could be.
