want to create.

that may cause
the dots to look deformed. Remember to
clean them after
use and dry thoroughly. These tools are
made of metal and
susceptible to rusting.

9. Glittering Ideas
*If you don’t have nail dotters, you can
use bobby pins.
*Just bend them out straight, and use
the round tips at the
end like normal dotters.

-These are nail polishes
that come with a long, thin
brush rather than the
usual flat and broad ones.
-It is used for painting
lines and adding random
flicks of colours.

11. Glittering Ideas:
If you don’t want to buy a new polish every time
you want to try another color, you could
alternatively get a nail striper brush. You can use
water-based nail paint which makes the nail
striper brush easier to clean. If you’ve used nail
polish, use acetone, some soap water and a
paper towel to clean your brush.

12. 4. Stationery
Tape
- This tape can be used in
creating super neat straight
lines and stripes.
-Any sort of normal scotch
tape is fine, but you can
experiment and see which
one gives the best results.

13. Tips and Warnings!
Always make sure that the base coat is
thoroughly dry. Cut the tape before you start
painting your nails so you avoid smudging.
Use tweezers to remove the tape to prevent
accidentally messing up your nails.

scratch again. Use a nail art brush and touch up
where necessary.
