Please leave it to Sabrina Carpenter to cosign the most stylish and unexpected summer manicure. The singer-songwriter has recently released the music video for the first single from her upcoming album, "Manchild." In it, she sports long, almond-shaped nails with a "blink and you might miss it" design. I'm talking about a throwback to one of the most prominent fashion prints of the 2010s: polka dots. Now, do you see why I said it was unexpected?
Celebrity nail artist Zola Ganzorigt created Carpenter's polka-dot manicure and shared an easy-to-follow, step-by-step Instagram tutorial on how she did it. It involves three coats of OPI nail polish and a dotting tool. That's it. Keep scrolling!
Sabrina Carpenter's Polka-Dot Manicure
Here's a closer look at the manicure. Even though it's a throwback to the 2010s, it doesn't feel too youthful or dated. Instead, it feels surprisingly cool and chic.
The Exact Products
Ganzorigt used OPI's Gel Color line, which requires a UV lamp to cure. However, you can re-create the exact manicure using the same shades with OPI's traditional nail lacquer too. The first step was to apply one coat of soft-pink Passion.
Here's the traditional nail polish.
Next, Ganzorigt applied one coat of Bare My Soul, a neutral beige.

As the final and most important step, Ganzorigt used a dotting tool to apply little circles of this crisp white all over Carpenter's nails. That was it. It took just three simple steps to create a stylish summer manicure.
Here's the traditional nail polish.
You can get dotting tools on Amazon for anywhere from $4 to $15.
