I personally make sure my dots are symmetrical...

Leave good gaps between the dots....

But it depends on size of nail, i leave 3mm (ish) between dots and do my middle line first thing two lines of dots down each side then small dots in between, then maybe my third colour i use for some odd dots and i overlap those on other dots too. Will draw u a pic
 
Those are beautiful Wendy! Xox

Thank you! S2 white holographic glitter over studio white. The ring finger is studio white with hotski tchotchke, asphalt and tutti frutti. The glitter is amazing. If you put it over Blackpool it makes a fantastic rich green! Xxxx

How do you do this? I know you use a marbling tool but do you just do dots with the colours? Thanks everyone x

I followed the advice on this thread and it was quite easy! Just dot your colours onto the 2nd colour coat before you cure it and then swirl them together with the dotting tool. Really effective isn't it! X
