Using band aids for polka dots on your nails

This pin states that you can put a bandaid onto your nail and then paint over it and it will put little polka dots onto your nail.  This did not work, the few dots that came through were so tiny that you could hardly see them.  Overall, this was a fast, cheap and easy way but in the end it did not work at all.
