I’m
really into animal print nails. The blue zebra
ones turned out great and now onto leopards. While looking for a picture of a
real leopard to check on the colours I realized that I didn’t have that beige
or tan colour for the base to represent the main colour in the leopard’s fur.
The closest colour I had in my stash was gold so I thought I would use that
instead.
First
you want to paint your nails your base colour. In my case I used two coats of
Milani Gold Lamé. It’s a really bright gold. Allow enough time to dry.
Next you
want to take a brown colour, I’m using China Glaze Street Chic which was from
their Metro Collection. Dip the brush into the colour and wipe off the excess
on the side of your bottle. Apply the colour using the brush tapping on random
blobs on your brown. It should look like this.
Next
using a black polish or in my case, black acrylic paint and a dotting tool,
apply dots of the black around your brown bits. Don’t completely cover the
brown of course but you want to apply the black in some cases completely around
some spots, like brackets around some and like “C” shapes around other brown
spot.
You can
stop at this point and add your top coat but if you feel your spots are a
little far apart, then just add some random black spots to fill in the gaps.
Ok so
now you’re done, add your favourite top coat (loving Orly Glossimer at this time) and you’re all done! Super simple
right? And there I was thinking this was hard to do!
Try it
out and enjoy your sexy leopard nails. But in the odd case that you don’t want
to take the time to do this (strong recommend you do!), try out these Broadway
nail stickers instead! So now I’m off to go buy me a tan coloured polish!
Happy Leopards!
