How to: Blue leopard animal print nail art

Hey guys

This is how I did my blue leopard animal print nails the other day. I used:

Barry M blue nail polish
Barry M gold foil effects nail polish
W7 black nail polish
Dotting tool / end of a kirby grip

I started off by painting my nails all over with the blue Barry M base colour.

I then took the gold polish and using the brush of the nail polish dabbed a few dots onto each nail. The key is to keep these random and NOT tidy (leopard spots are not perfect circles).

Then take your dotting tool or end of a kirby grip (works just as well) starting dotting black around the gold spots. Again, keep this random and messy and dont make it the whole way round the spot, have unregulated spaces inbetween. I also did a couple of small black dots without the gold to add to the effect.

I hope this helps and feel free to post links to your leopard print nail art designs below so I can check them out?

31 Day Challenge - Day 5 Blue Nails - Leopard Animal Print Nail Art



Hey girlies

Tonight has been a busy night on the nail art front, 3 manicures later and I am finally happy with the outcome enough to post it. I started off trying a no water marble technique, failed! I then tried the monarch butterfly technique as demonstrated my the brilliant cutepolish on YouTube, failed!

As you can imagine I was starting to lose hope when I suddenly thought I know! Ill have my first attempt at leopard animal print nail art...and heres how it turned out!

Pink Ombre Gradient

Hey girlies

I would like to show you my latest attempt at ombre gradient nails.  For this I used a light pink, dark pink & red nail polish.  I applied these to a make-up sponge and dabbed onto my nails.

I do feel like I must say that the photos do not do this mani justice, I thought in real life these looked absolutely fabulous and the blend was a really good one!
