Leopard print nail art tutorial



Hello everyone,
                        I hope you all are having a great week and sorry about the late post, life has been busy. As promised in my previous post this tutorial is a simple leopard print design. The tools you will need include a toothpick and your polishes. Feel free to change up the colours in your own re-creations and omit the accent nail if you like. Also, be sure to start off with a base coat to protect your natural nails. Lets get on to the tutorial!


Step one: Paint all of your nails in a mint green colour except for the ring finger which I opted for a pink glitter mix.




Step two: Cut one tip of a toothpick to create a flat edge. Use this edge to make spots on the nail using a pink polish. The spots don’t have to be perfect.




Step three: Next, using a black polish and the pointed tip of the toothpick create brackets, circles and ‘C’ shapes around each spot. Do this in a stippling motion so the print looks more authentic. Also, you can place black dots in the blank spaces of the print. 




Step four: Clean up around your nails to remove any polish from the skin and add your preferred top coat to smooth out design and add shine.






Products used:
China glaze: Pom pom
L.A girl metal: Obsidian
Orly: Gumdrop
Opi: Pink-ing of you
Top Coat- Seche vite fast drying top coat
