So I didn't do dots after all, I did a stamped gradient. It was super easy and very effective.
This is two coats of China Glaze First Mate, topped with an image off the Mash-44 plate, stamped with SH Insta Dri Silver Sweep and Revlon Copper Penny, applied to the plate together and scraped to create a gradient. Seche Vite top coat.
The First Mate was really thick, bordering on goopy, and could be a one coat polish with careful application. I'll bet it stamps really well.
The copper isn't super coppery, and kind of blends into the silver at certain angles, plus I think the Seche Vite may have diminished the copperiness some. Next time I may try applying the Seche Vite after the base color only, and skipping the second top coat after the stamp.
In any case, I'm calling this mani a success. I like it.
