It’s time to get in on the hottest nail art trend of the Summer – cyber dot nails! This variation on polka dot nails is inspired by the fashion of Jean-Paul Gaultier. This graphic look is bold, retro and super cute!
In this post, I’m spilling all my secrets on how to DIY cyber dot nails at home, as well as showing you the best cyber dot nails from the internet for inspo! Let’s dot this!
Here’s the Nail Tea on Cyber Dots
So what exactly are cyber dot nails (aka JPG Nails)? Picture a dark base color like black, gray or navy. Then imagine rows of bright white polka dots over that base. Killer, right?
I know the idea of recreating it yourself might seem tricky, but trust me – it’s actually pretty easy! I’ll give you all the steps for dotting perfection in a sec.
Get Your Cyber Dot Supplies Ready
First, you’ll need a few basic items:
- A dark nail polish as the base – black and gray are perfect, but try navy or burgundy too!
- An opaque white polish for the dots to make them pop.
- Dotting tools like q-tips or—my favorite—bobby pins for applying the dots. Get different sizes!
- Top coat to seal in your design. Don’t skip this step!
Let’s Dot! How to Do Cyber Dot Nails
Follow these simple steps to DIY your cyber dot mani:
- Paint your nails in the base color and let dry fully.
- Use the dotting tool dipped in white polish to make a dot near your cuticle.
- Make another row of dots just below that, spacing them out.
- Keep going until you reach the tips! Let dry.
- Finish with the top coat over the whole nail.
Repeat on all nails and voilà! You’ve dotted your way to cyber nail heaven!
Dot Your Way: Make Them Uniquely You!
While the classic look uses white on dark colors, you can totally make these dots your own:
- Pastel or neon dots look ah-dorable and summery!
- Play with different dot sizes for an eclectic look.
- Studs, rhinestones and charms take these next level!
- Get creative with dot shapes – hearts, stars, smiley faces!
