Hello lovelys! My nails have been seriously chipping and I had a bit of time on my hands so I decided to go for a classy leopard print look ;) I couldn't decide on the colour scheme so I went for quite a few!
You will need atleast two nail colours, the lightest to act as a base and the darkest for the spots. Make sure neither of these colours are black because black is used to create the outline afterwards! For this you can either use a nail art pen (available pretty much everywhere online) or a cocktail stick can be used!
L-R Barry M Berry I/C, 17 Forever, Barry M Turquoise, Barry M Strawberry I/C, Barry M Mint Green.
Ignore my abnormally long ring finger nail! Paint your base coat on, usually for lighter shades like I used it takes 2-3 coats. Wait for this to dry FULLY!
L-R Barry M Turquoise, Barry M Mushroom, Barry M Peach Melba, Barry M Raspberry, Barry M Cobalt Blue.
Get your second colour and add random splodges onto the nail, they don't need to be perfect or even because leopard print is so imperfect, it usually looks better if you don't take too much time or think about it too much! Again wait for this to dry fully or you'll end up with a smudged mess!
Next get your nail art pen/alternative and messily outline the spots. If you look at leopard print the outline is rarely joined up so don't worry too much if you mess up, it really makes no difference the majority of the time. Again, wait to dry and apply a clear topcoat and VOILA! Gorgeous leopard print nails!
This is ridiculously simple, I nearly feel stupid doing step-by-step on it, it's probably the easiest nail art I've ever tried, definitely worth a go!
