Rose Gold Polka Dot Nail Art

Polka dot nail art is the perfect design to create if you are a nail art newby or don't have much time to spare. Pale pink and rose gold is one of my favourite combos.

Rose Gold Polka Dot Nail Art

What will you need?

All you will need to create this look is a pale pink and rose gold polish, a dotting tool and some matte top coat.
The polishes I used were Essie 'Fiji', Models Own 'Chrome Rose' and Illamasqua 'Matte Top Coat'.

Step By Step Tutorial:

Step 1: Begin by painting all nails in two coats of the pale pink polish to create an opaque base.

Step 2: Take the rose gold polish onto a dotting tool and add polka dots neatly over the nails.

Step 3: Wait a few minutes for everything to dry and then take the matte top coat, adding a layer to each nail.


And there you have your Rose Gold Polka Dot nail art!

Happy Nail Art-ing!
