Idea 5: Black Polka Dot Accent Nail with Gold Leaf

How to Make

Incorporating metallic gold foil accents alongside black polka dots adds a touch of warmth and luxury to a neutral manicure. Paint four fingers on each hand in a solid neutral shade, reserving the ring finger for the accent design. On the accent nail, apply a sheer nude base and paint a scattered pattern of medium black polka dots using your dotting tool. While the top coat or polish is still slightly tacky, use fine tweezers to place delicate flecks of metallic gold leaf foil between the black dots. Press the foil flat with a soft silicone tool, then seal the entire design with a thick layer of smoothing top coat.
