Leopard nail art!


A lot of you have been curious how I created the leopard art on my nails!! It is very easy and quick to do.

To recreate this look you need 3 colors in the brown tone family.


I used:

Base - Nude Attitude by Essie
Spots- Unplugged by China Glaze
Outline - Solid black by L.A. Colors art deco
Top Coat - Revlon extra life, no chip in clear

Be sure you are starting with a clean, bare nail.



Step #1: Use your light base color ( nude attitude ) and apply 3 coats to your nail. I did not allow them to dry in between.



Step #2: Once the base coat is dry take your dark brown color ( unplugged ) and lightly apply thick lines and dots on your nail. It is up to you on placement and number of spots.


Step #3: Once the dark brown spots are dry take a thin brushed black nail polish and outline the spots, leaving little gaps on each spot. Follow by adding just a few black dots on the nail for the leopard look!

Step #4: Apply your top coat to ensure no chipping. And that's it your complete.

I was able to complete this to my liking the first time I tried!! Super easy!

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial!!!
