Makeup Monday: Nail Art Using Yard Sale Dots

Continuing with the second part of my nail series on Makeup Monday, I am going to be showing you six different ways that you can use yard sale dots to create some simple nail art designs. These dots can be purchased at Dollar Tree or any office supply store. They are available in different sizes so please get whichever size works for the length of your nail bed.

Please be sure that if you are using a base coat of polish that you allow time to dry before placing the sticker on your nail to avoid smudging!

French Manicure
1. The most simple of all of the designs! Just place the dot under the grown out part of your nail and paint!

Result:
A pretty straight tip.

Reverse French Manicure
1. Chose a light and a dark nail polish combo.

2. Place The dot somewhere in the middle of your nail. Where you place it depends on how big you want your reverse "crescent" to be.

3. Paint and remove. I will say that this design is my least favorite because of the color combo that I chose but I encourage you to try different colors to get a better look!

Triangle Tip Nail
1. Cut two sides of your circle to form a triangle tip

2. Place as high or low as you would like a paint.

Result:
Again, your triangle can vary in width and size depending on where you place the sticker. Wear this design as a french tip or try over another color for a more bold look.

Half and Half
1. Apply a light base coat.

2. Cut a circle in half and place on nail.

3. Paint a darker color on the exposed side and you should end up with something like this:

Angled Design
1. Apply base coat.

2. Cut circle in half and place on nail at an angle. You can place the circle any direction that you would like!

3. Paint the nail and remove the strip. You should end up with something like this:

Stripes 
1. Cut your circle into strips. You can use the strips with the rounded ends on the tip if you want or throw them out.

2. Place strips on nails. Your strips can be placed on your nail diagonally, horizontally, or vertically.

3. Paint over strips and remove immediately. I didn't add a base coat under these nails but this would look great if it were black and white!
