Step By Step Breakdown:

1. Prep the nails and file them into a medium almond shape with smoothly tapered sides and softly pointed tips.
2. Apply a base coat followed by a sheer nude-pink polish to create the translucent foundation.
3. Divide the manicure between blue, purple, and orange French tips, using a different color on selected nails.
4. Paint a deep curved French smile line and fill the pointed tip completely with the chosen bright shade.
5. Use a small dotting tool to place colorful dots across the nude sections of each nail.
6. Continue the polka-dot pattern over the colored French tips so the dots appear scattered across the entire design.
7. Alternate pink, turquoise, yellow, coral, blue, and lilac dots, avoiding a strict repeating pattern.
8. Vary the spacing and dot colors from nail to nail while maintaining the same playful palette throughout the set.
9. Cure or allow each color to dry completely to prevent the dots from smearing.
10. Finish with a high-gloss top coat for the smooth, shiny finish shown in the photo.
