1. Paint nails with 2 coats of your favourite dark shade of polish. Allow to dry completely.

2. Apply a clear matte topcoat.

3. Pour a tiny amount of polish into a dish. Dip a bobby pin into polish and press dots onto nails (press harder for larger dots).

4. Allow to dry completely. Do not apply topcoat.
