I do my nails differently every time I go to Disney - I've done some crazy designs, especially for Christmas! It's really easy to do it yourself, if you get a regular mani/pedi and want to add a Mickey head on your own.

Wipe the brush of almost all the polish, except for a small bead at the end of the brush. Touch the bead of polish to your nail (not the brush, it may not be circular), and it will create a small round dot. Larger bead, larger dot. Add two smaller ones for the ears, and you're set! You can also use a dotting tool, but if you don't have one, it's easy to do without one.

You can practice on a piece of plastic, to make sure you get the circular dots. If you want to get fancy, you can add a jewel in the middle of the head. Take a toothpick, get it wet, and pick up one jewel. If you put it on while the polish is still wet, it will create a circle of color around the jewel. If it's dry, you can either use nail glue or clear polish to set it. Add a coat or two of clear polish to set it, and you're done!

I am not sure if these have been mentioned or not (sorry if they have I havent read the entire thread just noticed a few post asking about polka dots and how tos!

I dabble a little in Nail art (am a hairdresser and hate doing mani & pedi's but I love making them pretty & helping other ppl get creative)

The Rounded end of a bobby pin makes perfect small polka dots! Just straighten out the bobby pin and dip it into the bottle and then onto the nail (dont overload you dont need it dripping off!)

A Q-tip with do well for making larger dots. The pointed ones will make smaller dots and regular bigger dots but with practice in varying the pressure you can use a regular q tip to make anything from small to larger dots Could be great for making those mickey & Minnie Heads

Regular tape cut with decorative scissors can be used to make a nice funky border. Regular tape can also be used for making perfect stripes! (just allow plenty of dry time before applying it!) Hole protectors can be used as well. Newspaper print can be transferred to nails and I have heard so can things printed from an Ink Jet printer!

I use regular polish and just a couple nice nail art brushes instead of the special striping nail pens or polish! Those tend to clump and dry out easily are limited in colors and more expensive ! You can get a nail art brush at sallys for cheaper than the price you can buy 1 of those special polishes

I have a Nail Tech friend who swears by plain ole Acrylic Craft paint for her nail art. I havent tried this yet but she just does the nails as usual and when they are 100% dry she paints on whatever with Regular Acrylic craft paint when that is 100% dry she then top coats it all. She always have beautiful nails and I would have never known that she used Craft paint had she not told me!

I find the easiest way to do a french manicure is not to try to go horizontal pulling across the nail. But instead do 3 small strokes vertically using your natural nail arch be your starting point and pull to the end of the nail. (dip a orange wood stick in remover and use it to sharpen your line if need be) Hope that made sense LOL!

Daughter is having nails done at BBB so i wont be doing her nails but our plan is white and red polka dot toes and Mickey head on one big toe Minnie Head on another .. on my nails i am doing same concept but only painting and polka dotting the tips not whole nail
