Pink Leopard Nails

on Saturday, September 15, 2012


I am not a person who crazy about leopard prints. 
But when i saw this image, It is SUPER CUTE ! You may think it is complicated, you are wrong! It is super easy, all you need to do is only dotting.
And I decided to give it a try, so here are the few steps :

1. Things you need : 

- Your favorite base and top coat
- Light pale pink nail polish
- Baby pink nail polish
- Dark chocolate nail polish
- Dotting tools/pen/back of the makeup brush

2. Prep your nails with base coat !
I am using OPI start to finish base & top coat.
As the name stated, you can use it as base coat and also top coat!
But sadly, I dropped this after i finished the nails and the bottle was cracked, i wont be able to use it and need to buy a new one TT

3. Paint your nails with the light pale pink polish

2. Create a few spots using the tip of the brush

what you need to do is only using the brush directly dot on the nails, and you get something like this :



3. Create bracket or "C"
After the dots are completely dry, using the the dotting tools to create bracket on the spots that we did in the step 2.


create a few dots and dot around the baby pink until it achieved the "C" shape

It will end up like bracket

you don't need to be perfect, just make some irregular "C" shapes
on this step, you may refer to the image of leopard prints!


4. Fill in the gap
You may find some areas are not filled, you add more "C" shapes to fill in the gap! 


5. Apply your top coat to protect the design and FINISH!

Aren't they adorable?


Here are some few tips from me :
1. Try to do from your pinky nails to you thumbs , you will find out why
2. You don't need to be perfect. The more irregular of your dots, it will be more look alike with the leopard prints ! (so I found my right hand's nails better than the left hand)
3. I suggest to create bigger baby pink dots, because if you created a very small baby pink dot, it won't be visible after surrounded by the dark chocolate polish.

So thanks for reading my blog. Get your polishes, go creative and rock it with other colours !
