Hey again my Darlings!
You know that mix and match leopard print manicure I recently posted. Well here's the tutorial for it! All of the polishes and products that were used can be found right here.
Step-By-Step Tutorial:
Leopard Print
- Apply base coat of your choice
- Apply the base colour of your choosing and allow it to dry thoroughly
- Apply dry fast top coat and allow to dry
- Using your dotting tool and your leopard print colours of choice place some dots randomly as done above
- Using the smaller end of your dotting tool or just a smaller sized dotting tool in general (can also be done using a toothpick), create c's around the dots that were previously made using black
- Add some smaller dots in between the larger dots that are currently there
- Clean up any excess polish from around your cuticles using a brush lightly dipped in pure acetone
- Apply dry fast top coat and allow to dry
- Apply your fast drying top coat and you're all finished!
Accent Nail With Bow
- Apply base coat of your choice
- Apply your second base color of your choosing
- Clean up any excess polish that you may have around your cuticles using a brush gently dipped in pure acetone
- Apply fast dry top coat
- While the polish is still wet you apply the bow anywhere and in any direction that you wish (usually I would have used nail glue for the bow so that it would stay on longer, but I didn't realize that I didn't have anymore until I went to use it. Embarrassing!)
- Apply some more of that wonderful dry fast top coat around the bow as shown above just to help it stay in place some more
- Allow to fully dry and then you're all finished!
I have yet to try leopard print on my nails, but have been dying to do it for so long! Thanks so much for posting this tutorial, so now I can practice :)
ReplyDeleteHonestly that's how I felt when I first thought about doing this design. But once I tried it and got the hang of it I loved it!! You're welcome!
