Leopard Nails Tutorial - only 5 steps

Hey Bloggies, Happy Tuesday to ya!

Are you ready for a super awesome

nail design?

Yay, I am so excited to share this. I have seen leopard nails around here and there and a few different tutorials that were just tooooo complicated so I thought I would share my fast and fun version.

What you need:

1. Nail base, I use a calcium hardener because I have thin nails (optional)

2. a base color ( i used pink)

3. a spot color ( i used purple but it looks blue in the pics)

4. a sharpie, liquid eye liner or anything thin and black

5. a top coat, you MUST have a top coat to insure everything stays together

Step One:

Start out with your base/prep coat. This step is not necessary, I just do it because i have oily and thin nails, which cause them to break easily and the paint chips much faster when i dont apply a base. but thats just me.

Step Two:

Apply your first "base" color, if you need to apply two coats make sure it dries completely

Step Three:

Paint on your polka dots, any size and shape. The more unique the spots the better

Step Four:

Get your black sharpie, or whatever it is that you have and just trace around the spots, almost a half moon on both ends of the spots, i usually dont completely enclose the circle with black, just the ends.

Step Five:

Apply your clear top coat, let it dry and wah-la! Thats it! Now you have fab nails for the summer. yay
