Polka dots look

Polka dot is never old-fashioned. Give this classic look to your nails with the use of a bobby pin or toothpicks. Just paint your nail with any colour of your choice and add the polka dots of any colour that will contrast with it. You can also make a horizontal line of polka dots on the edge.
