X is for ... eX-treme nails
1. Prep the nail and apply base coat.
2. Choose three or four vibrant shades that are opposing, yet complementary. We chose fuchsia, bright purple and sunshine yellow, which all look great together.
3. Unscrew all nail polish bottles so that they're ready to go.
4. Working one nail at a time, use a toothpick or detail brush to place one dot of each color on the nail.
5. Use the toothpick or brush to pull and swirl the colors together, creating a modern, tie-dye effect. Allow the polish to dry thoroughly.
6. Apply top coat and allow the polish to dry.
