Leopard Nail Design

 Materials Used:
Essie in Tart Deco (Coral)
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails (White)
Color Club- Nail Art (Black)
Sally Hansen No Chip Acrylic Top Coat

 Step 1: Paint each nail a solid color. I chose to only do leopard print on my ring finger as an accent nail, so I painted it white, and the rest with the coral color. Let the polish dry before moving to the next step.

Step 2: Once the nail polish has dried, use the nail polish brush to dot spots on your nail. Make sure there is not too much nail polish on the brush to prevent thick spots that won't dry. The spots should slightly vary in size and shape. Some spots can go to the cuticle or off the tip of the nail too. Let the spots dry for a few minutes before moving to the next step.

 Step 3: After a few minutes, take the black nail art polish and outline the spots. Some can be fully outlining the spot, some can be a 'c' shape around it, and some spots can have multiple gaps in the outline. After the spots have had time to dry, finish with a top coat. Be sure to give it enough time to dry before applying the top coat or it will smear. 

Remember that the spots and outlines don't have to be perfect. I think that they actually look a little bit better when they are a little messy. I hope you guys like this design.

Thanks for looking!!
