These Funky Dot Manicures Are Your New Favorite Nail Trend

If you're anything like me, manicures are a small luxury — and one I don't often have time for. But that doesn't mean that those fingertips have to go un-painted!

As I've mentioned before in our roundup of cutest puppy designs, manicure designs often require a toolbox of uniquely tipped applicators and no shortage of patience. If you're still a novice at home manicures, the reapplication and failed attempts can be frustrating when trying to nail those Instagram trends. But there are a few ways of hacking an adorable manicure for the busy (and lazy) among us.

If the acrylic bedazzling trend ("aquarium nails," as they've been dubbed) isn't your thing and you're more for a simple design, the video below should be your go-to for design inspiration. Dotticures is the trend that takes your manicure from simple to eye-catching — all with a toothpick and a few shades of complementary polish. (The video below sticks mostly with warm summer tones, but feel free to experiment with your own palette!)

Keep in mind while watching her instruction that you'll need some time between applications to let your nails dry. But think of this as something you can do while watching a movie at home with your girlfriends — a little in-between activity that'll leave you looking fabulous!
