Leopard print nails...

As promised here is a step by step guide on creating funky leopard print nails.  



STEP 1
  Apply a good quality base coat, this will protect your nails from stains and also keep the nail polish on a bit longer.


STEP 2
  Apply two layers of your chosen base colour.


STEP 3
Paint dots randomly in a contrasting colour.


STEP 4
Paint little stripes over the dots to create the leopard print effect, you can get a specialised nail polish with a needle tip to to paint fine lines from Inglot, or alternatively you can just dip a tooth pick in your 
regular nail polish.  


STEP 5
Apply a good quality top coat.


STEP 6
Apply a nail oil to your cuticles, this will nourish your cuticles but will also help your nail polish dry quicker.


Voila!! 


I have used neutral shades as I feel quite wintry, but you can use any colour combination you like.  
These hands belong to my gorgeous nieces Savannah and Kiara.
