Using the tool, it is worth following some consistent rules of work.

• First of all, it is necessary to prepare the nail plate for drawing. To do this, give it the selected shape and remove the cuticle.
• After that, it is necessary to apply a special base on the nails that can act as protection against pigmentation. In addition, the tool will make it possible to maintain the original look of manicure for a longer period.
• Next, the nails are covered with basic varnish.
• For drawing a picture, especially a multi-colored one, it is best to use a special or home-made palette.
• The tool must be dipped into the composition, controlling that the entire surface of the ball is covered with a uniform layer of paint.

• To create a complex picture, first of all, the main points are put down that will act as the boundaries of the future pattern on the nail. In order for the circles to have even and identical contours, the dots should be placed at right angles to the working base.
• After that, you can begin to form the remaining points of the pattern, which may differ in color or size from the base.
• After drying the picture, the nail should be coated with a special fixing varnish, which will give the design a glossy sheen or matte finish.
• Upon completion of work from the dots, you must remove all residual varnish.

For beginners of manicure or craftsmen who are engaged in design on their own, it is recommended to start working with dots, using the most simple schemes of drawings. At first, you can take step-by-step instructions and tips on creating a pattern to help.

• So that the points are the same, before applying each, you should first dip the tool in varnish. A similar method is necessary because it is rather difficult to visually determine how much dye was left at the end of the dots and was used to create the previous point.
• And vice versa, if the drawing requires the presence of circles of different sizes, the end of the tool is once dipped in varnish, after which 2-3 peas are put on the nail. This method is an alternative to the method of creating marks of different diameters, each time changing the tool to another with a suitable ball size at the end.

• Using the dotter, you can even draw flowers on the nails, for this you should start the work from the center, putting down points in a circle with the same distance from each other. In order for the petals of the flower to have an elongated shape, the points should be stretched on the nail with a conventional toothpick.
• Dots allows you to draw hearts. The scheme is as follows: it is necessary to make two symmetrically located points at a distance from each other, and use a brush to combine them with lines repeating the outline of the desired shape.
• To fill the pattern from the inside, dipping the ball into the varnish, you need to make a point in the center, and then walk the dotter throughout the area, evenly distributing the paint or varnish.
• For the masters who are engaged in “nail art” using the dots, it will be useful to work according to the scheme of cubists, who visually divide the work surface into equal squares. In the case of the dotter, dots will act as the base of the figure.

• To carry out the design of nails in the winter style, using the tool you need to put down the points that will act as the ends of the future snowflake, with the main mark in the center of the figure. After that, all the links must be connected with lines with a brush or toothpick. As a New Year's design, you can work with dots and sparkles or silver / gold powder. The base color can be plain or in ombre style.
• A summer and playful option for manicure or pedicure can be an image of a bow on the nails, which is quite simple to do with a dotter. The bow is made according to the following scheme: two large drops should be made on the surface, two more drops should be made between them with a small ball, and then a connecting brush should be drawn between them with a thin brush or needle. For a clearer contour, it is worth circling it with a dark shade of varnish and drying it.

Representatives of the fair sex, who prefer a modest, but no less spectacular minimalism in the design of nails on their hands and feet, can safely resort to the use of dots in their work. The design of drops can be performed both in the center of the plate in strict accordance with the geometry, there and in the form of multi-colored abstraction at the end of the nail or, conversely, closer to the finger. Light and colorful tones of varnishes will help set the spring mood, sparkles will become appropriate in winter options for creating designs using dotter.Patterns from drops of different colors and diameters will look original.

Dots allows you to safely experiment with the brightness of colors and a combination of colors, focusing on the mood and relevance of flowers in a given season when choosing a design.

Below are a few options for using dots in nail art.

The base color of the nails will be black. On the base, closer to the end of the nail, dots of different sizes are applied using the dots. After that, you can highlight the end of the nail plate with white and cover the manicure with a glossy or matte fastener.

Any light varnish can be taken as a basis: white, lilac or pink. After the base has dried, multi-colored peas are applied to it in random order. You can form an abstraction from circles, where one will go to the other. A similar design will be appropriate as a winter decor or act as a spring and gentle design of nails - it all depends on the chosen color scheme.

For conservative perfectionists, “nail art” with the help of dots can be done by creating on a light basis lines from points of the same size. Moreover, the color of the nails does not have to be the same - for spring and summer manicure, you can use a combination of the same color in different shades on each finger. For the finished design, it is recommended to cover the nails with a glossy fixer.

In addition to abstraction or straight lines from dots, the tool allows you to design your nail in the form of a multi-colored pattern of drops forming a semicircle. Points can be made different in color and diameter. From peas of different sizes, it is easy to form ornate patterns on a contrasting base background.

A rather relevant technique of creating a design with the transition of the color of the nail into different colors and tones can be supplemented and decorated with the help of dots. To do this, based on the created patterns or lines of dots, which for shine and attractiveness can be covered with bright silver powder or rubbing. Similar options are relevant to any special occasions.
