Nail Swag DIY: Polka Dot Bikini

This itsy-bitsy teeny weeny polka dot bikini nail art is precious and the perfect amount of summer fun. We all might cringe at the thought of putting on a two piece after a long winter, but your nails can always be beach ready with the Polka Dot Bikini design.

Polish You Pretty never lets me down!

Step 1: After applying a base coat, we recommend CND – Toughen Up, paint nails 2 coats of Zoya – Avery. This shade is great for our skin tone because it gives us ‘mannequin hands’ – which is exactly what we are after for this look! Try to find a base shade that matches your skin tone best for this design.

Step 2: Pick your bikini colours – we used Essie – Cascade Cool, Sally Hansen – Lively Lilac, China Glaze – Secret Peri-winkle & Color Club – Blue-Ming. Begin by creating a line near the base of your nails for the bottom part of the bikini top. Add two triangles to the top of the line plus the halter strings from the tips. Leave a little space from the base of the top & create a larger triangle near the tips of your nail for the bikini bottoms. Add side strings to the bathing suit to complete the look. Ps. Sorry we forgot to take a picture at this point!

Step 3: Now, the little final touches – inspired by the song, we added little polka dots using CND – Brillant White. We also added a little belly button in the middle using a dotting tool and a slightly darker shade - Avon – Bare Necessity. Seal in the design with Seche Vite & you’re all set for the beach!

Loves it!
