• After that, it is necessary to apply a special base on the nails that can act as a protection against pigmentation. In addition, the tool will make it possible to preserve the original look of the manicure for a longer period.
• Next, the nails are covered with basic varnish.
• For drawing, especially multi-colored, it is best to use a special or homemade palette.
• The tool must be dipped into the composition, making sure that the entire surface of the ball is covered with a uniform layer of paint.

• To create a complex pattern, first of all, the main points are put down, which will act as the boundaries of the future pattern on the nail. In order for the circles to have even and identical contours, the dots should be placed at right angles to the working base.
• After that, you can start forming the rest of the points of the pattern, which may differ in color or size from the base ones.
• After drying the pattern, the nail should be coated with a special fixing varnish, which will give the design a glossy shine or matte finish.
• At the end of work from the dots, it is necessary to remove all residues of varnish.

For beginners in the manicure business or craftswomen who are engaged in design on their own, it is recommended to start working with dots using the simplest possible drawing schemes. At first, you can take step-by-step instructions and tips for creating a pattern to help.

• In order for the points to be the same, before applying each one should first dip the tool in varnish. This method is necessary because it is rather difficult to visually determine how much dye is left at the end of the dot and was used to create the previous dot.
• And vice versa, if the drawing requires circles of different sizes, the end of the tool is dipped in varnish once, after which 2-3 peas are put on the nail. This method is an alternative to the method of creating marks of different diameters, each time changing the tool to a different one with a suitable ball size at the end.

• With the help of a dotter, you can even draw flowers on the nails, for this work should be started from the center, putting down points in a circle with the same distance from each other. In order for the petals of the flower to take on an elongated shape, the points should be stretched on the nail using an ordinary toothpick.
• Dots allows you to draw hearts. The scheme is as follows: you need to make two symmetrically located points at a distance from each other, and use a brush to combine them with lines repeating the contour of the required figure.
• To fill the pattern from the inside, dipping the ball into the varnish, you need to make a dot in the center, and then walk the dotter over the entire area, evenly distributing the paint or varnish.
• For masters who are engaged in "nail art" with the help of dots, it will be useful to work according to the cubist scheme, which visually divide the work surface into equal squares. In the case of a dotter, the points will act as the base of the drawing.

• To make a winter-style nail design, using the tool, you need to put down points that will act as the ends of the future snowflake, with the main mark in the center of the figure. After that, all the links must be connected with lines using a brush or toothpick. As a New Year's design, work with dots and sparkles or silver / gold powder can be used. The base color can be solid or ombre.
• A summer and playful option for a manicure or pedicure can be an image of a bow on the nails, which is quite simple to do with a dotter. The bow is made according to the following scheme: two large drops should be made on the surface, two more drops should be made between them with a smaller ball, after which, with a thin brush or needle, draw connecting lines between them. For a clearer outline, it should be circled with a dark shade of varnish and dried.

The fair sex, who prefer modest, but no less effective minimalism in the design of nails on hands and feet, can safely resort to using dots in their work. The design of drops can be performed both in the center of the plate in strict accordance with the geometry, there and in the form of a multi-colored abstraction at the end of the nail, or, conversely, closer to the finger. Light and colorful tones of varnishes will help set the spring mood, glitter will be appropriate in winter options for creating a design using a dotter.Patterns of drops of different colors and diameters will look original.

Dots allows you to safely experiment with the brightness of colors and color combinations, focusing on the mood and relevance of colors in a particular season when choosing a design.

Below are several options for using dots in nail art.

The base color of the nails will be black. On the base, closer to the end of the nail, dots of different sizes are applied with the help of dots. After that, you can select the end of the nail plate in white and cover the manicure with a glossy or matte fixer.

Any light varnish can be taken as a basis: white, lilac or pink. After the base has dried, multi-colored peas are applied to it in random order. You can form an abstraction from circles, where one will go to the other. Such a design will be appropriate as a winter decor or act as a spring and delicate design for nails - it all depends on the chosen color scheme.

For conservative perfectionists, "nail art" can be done using dots by creating lines from dots of the same size on a light basis. Moreover, the color of the nails does not have to be the same - for spring and summer manicure, you can use a combination of the same color in different shades on each finger. For a complete design, it is recommended to cover the nails with a glossy fixative.

In addition to abstraction or straight lines from dots, the tool allows you to design the nail in the form of a multi-colored pattern of drops forming a semicircle. Points can be made in different colors and diameters. From peas of different sizes, it is easy to form ornate patterns on a contrasting base background.

A fairly relevant technique for creating a design with the transition of the color of the nail to different colors and tones can be supplemented and decorated with the help of dots. To do this, patterns or lines from dots are created on the basis, which can be coated with bright silver powder or rub in for shine and attractiveness. Such options are relevant to any special events.
