If the small plastic coating falls off, use another bobby pin. It’s this part that forms the neat dot shape.
Grab a small piece of paper and nail polish to test-drive the dotter. Before you apply polish to the nail, you’ll want to make sure you achieve a clean dot. After you dip the straight pinhead into the polish, press it onto the paper first to remove excess polish and to ensure you’re going to get the look you want. Consider using straight pins that have a variety of heads. Make different sized dots using tiny heads to larger straight pinheads.
Hold the pin on a flat surface, sharp side upward. Hold the pin at the bottom to so you can join the pencil eraser with the pin. Grasp the pencil in your other hand (while holding the pin on the flat surface), eraser side downward, and press the eraser into the sharp side of the pin. Drive the eraser into the pin until at least half of the pin has punctured the eraser.
Apply the painted nail polish pin tip to your piece of paper and then to your nail. Repeat this process on the paper until you have painted on enough nail polish and have achieved look you want to achieve.
Put the Band-Aide on your nail and paint over it with the colour you want the polka dots to be! Once it dries, remove the band-aide. [6] X Research source
