Dotting Tool

Tutorial

Difficulty – 3/10

This design is super easy if you have a dotting tool, and still shouldn’t be too difficult even with a normal brush and a steady hand. This set is all about the colour scheme rather than different techniques.

1. Apply base coat.

2. Apply two coats of Bright Red to the thumb and pinky.

3. Apply two coats of Matte White to the index and middle fingers.

4. Apply two coats of Indigo to the ring finger.

5. Preferably using a dotting tool, apply small black dots to the index finger. The effect here will be best if you try and keep the dots quite small.

6. Apply two coats of Monochrome graffiti effect to the ring finger.

7. Apply top coat.
