Nail Art inspired by Fashion - polka dots

I was browsing through Pinterest and I ended up on the fashion tag. Naturally, I got inspired by a few dresses and today I'm sharing one of them.

I love giant polka dots, and the combination of the colors black and hot pink. So I guess that's what caught my attention about this image. Unfortunately, I do not know whom does the design belong to, but it turns out it's an image from an online shop selling that outfit (found out after snooping around to find a way to add credit)

I used the nail wheel for this design because my nails are too short to have this design on (unless you want to do it with tiny dots, then it'll work). I started off by painting the nail hot pink (F1 by Digital Color Cream) and waited for it to dry. Then placed a striping tape in the middle (because I don't trust my ability to draw a straight line) and painted half of the nail black (144 black is back by Essence). I removed the tape immediately to prevent having it drag the polish off with it when it started drying.

After the black was dry as well, I placed another striping tape at the same spot where it was earlier. That is so I could have a couple of dots look cut off. Added the big dots in white (101 snow me white by Sinful Colors), and waited for it to dry before adding a layer of top coat.
