step 1: after basecoat, polish a french tip across each nail with a fine detail brush dipped in blanc. feel free to refine the shape with a cleanup brush and acetone if needed.
step 2: with a dotting tool dipped in wink of sleep, add dots across the tip of one nail in 4 small rows, getting smaller and smaller with each row. use a double sided dotting tool and varying amounts of pressure to achieve varying dot sizes.
step 3: repeat step 2 with licorice, playdate and pencil me in. each nail being a different color except two.
step 4: finish with glossy topcoat.
