Polka Dot Nails: Easy Must Try Celeb Nail Trend
We’re seeing the Polka Dot Nails trend everywhere. Celebs like Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa and Hailey Bieber are rocking this playful, retro-inspired manicure. The best part? It’s incredibly easy to recreate at home. We’re here to inspire you with some trendy polka dot nail designs and share a few simple tips to help you master the look yourself.
Polka dot nails are popular because they’re fun, versatile, and easy to customise. You can go classic with a neutral base colour and white dots, playful with bright colours, or go for a bold contrast using 203 Chocolate Brown & 299 Coco White. Celebs like Sabrina Carpenter and Dua Lipa have brought the look back into the spotlight, making it a must-try trend. Plus, they’re easy to do at home – no nail art skills required.
Creating polka dot nails is super easy – and perfect for beginners. All you need is your favourite gel polish and a Dotting Tool.
Start by prepping your nails for gel polish and applying your favourite base coat. Want a neutral base? Opt for a Rubber Base Cover – it saves you a step, as it works as both base coat and colour in one. No need to add an extra colour layer on top. If you prefer a different shade, feel free to apply a colour of your choice over the base coat. Make sure to cure each layer under the LED lamp.
Once your base is ready, take your chosen colour for the dots and place a small amount onto a nail art palette. Dip your Dotting Tool into the contrasting gel polish and gently dot it onto your nails. Cure the dots before sealing your design with a top coat. The best part? It doesn’t have to be perfectly symmetrical – that’s part of the charm!
