Fingernail decorating method

A fingernail decorating method comprising the steps of:

• obtaining an applicator comprising:
• an elongated member having a first end and a second end;
• a first applicator portion on the first end comprising:
• a foam brush having a non-uniform cell structure consisting of a plurality of cells of different sizes,
• a conical, pointed end, and
• an elongated, resilient plastic core;
• a second applicator portion on the second end composing
• a bristled brush adapted to apply a substantially uniform application of nail polish;
• applying a substantially uniform coating of nail polish on the fingernail using the second applicator portion;
• letting the uniform coating harden;
• partially saturating the first applicator portion in nail polish having a different color than the uniform coating of nail polish;
• repeatedly pressing the first applicator portion against the uniformly coated nail such that the differently sized cells of the first applicator portion deposit different quantities of nail polish onto the nail;
• leaving several pools of nail polish of different sizes and thicknesses on the nail;
• applying some of the pools as very thin pools, such that the color of the uniform coating of nail polish partially shows through the thin pools;
• and
• leaving the uniform coating of polish exposed in several locations;
• wherein, the method produces a mottled effect on the fingernails.
