The whole point of this manicure is careful selection of different shades of nail polishes. Choose the pastel shade as a base, and then apply dots with the dotting tool on the top with more saturated shade of the same colour.

Here I used

• Pale yellow from Rimmel: I Love Lasting Finish — 058 Lemon Drop with vibrant yellow dots Rimmel: I Love Lasting Finish — 058 Lemon Drop on my thumb and pinky.
• Pale pink from Barbara Daly — Think Pink with hot pink dots applied with NYC — 236 Greenwich Village on the index finger.
• And soft coral Rimmel: 60 Seconds — 415 Instyle Coral with vibrant orange dots from Collection 2000: Hot Looks 60 Seconds — 28 Hip Hop on the middle finger and the ring finger.

For this pastel manicure I got inspired from pshiiit.com, however I decided to keep my mani glossy, instead of applying matte finish.
