If you want to make dots the best thing to do is get an skinny but not too that would have the right size dots. Turn the brush around and dip the side that doesn't have hair and dip it in the jar. It's really easy if you want dots that you can place where

Cute and creative ideas buuuut I would never have time for all that! :D

I don't know about using a sharpie to create dots on nails the fork idea would be better

19 isn't a tampon.. It's a nail stamper.
