Dripping Paint Nails

I've seen this design in quite a lot of different places so I thought that I would show you how to do this design.
Let me know if you have any requests or improvements, I would love to hear them.

What you need:

For this design you will need:

1. A base coat and top coat. For this design I used a top coat for both as I have run out of base coat. 

2. A white nail varnish. I used Collection 5 Day Wear in the colour 103 French White. 

3. A nail varnish in any colour. I have used the colour red, however I'm not sure where it is from. I got it in a set as a gift a few years ago. 

4. A matte top coat. I used Essie Matte About You. 

5. A large and small dotter. I used this double ended one which I purchased from Amazon in a set of 5. If you do not own a dotter, you can use the end of a bobby pin for the larger dotter and the end of a toothpick for the smaller dotter. 

Step 1:

Apply a base coat all over the nail. 

Allow to dry completely. 

Step 2:

Apply the white nail varnish. 

You can use as many coats as you like until it is completely opaque. I used two.

Allow to dry completely. 

 Step 3:

Use the matte top coat over the whole nail. 

Allow to dry completely. 

Step 4:

Using the larger dotter, apply a dot of red nail polish and slowly release the pressure you apply it with whilst dragging it towards your tip. This will make the line thinner. Do this a few times with different length lines and different size spots. 

Move straight on to the next step.

Step 5:

Join the dots together with curved lines using the smaller dotter. 

Fill in the spaces.

Allow to dry completely. 

Step 6:

 Finally, apply a top coat over the 'paint' but NOT over the white base as this will defeat the point of the matte coat. It will make the paint appear 'wet'.
