Polka Dot Nails
Manicures dotted with even (or playfully scattered) spots — retro-cute and endlessly colourable.
Trend context
Key fact
Polka dots are a retro-cute staple refreshed by Y2K and coquette; uniform dots suit press-ons.
How to get the look
Dot an even or scattered grid of small circles over a contrasting base using a dotting tool, sealing gloss. The retro motif reads best when the dots are uniform in size and the base gives clear contrast.
How to wear
Polka dot nails suit Y2K, retro, and playful looks with denim and silver. They read cheerful for brunches and parties; wear short round so the dots stay evenly spaced and tidy.
