NOTD Leopard Print Nails

Today’s nails are another on from Makeup Savvy’s 15 day nail challenge. Today is leopard print. Leopard print nails is something I love but I’ve never tried it before. I’m not great at detail nail art and don’t have a nail art pen which I think would make it easier. 




But here’s my attempt. I used Max Factor Max Effect nail varnish in shade Ivory which is in fact a gorgeous glittery gold. I really like this shade.




Next I used Look Nail pop in the kimono which is a khaki shade with a hint of gold in some lights. This will definitely be used a lot through autumn. I’m really liking this nail varnish and really want more Look ones now. With the kimono I put little blobs (great describing word there) of nail varnish on each ring finger. (I’m sure you’ve seen by now I’ve not mastered nail art on all my nails) I put 5 to 6 blobs on each finger. Try not to make them perfectly round.




The next step is easiest done with a nail art pen, but if you are like me and don’t have one a dotting tool, cocktail stick of kirby grip can be used. I used OPI Lincoln After Dark for the outline of the print, the trick is to add little dots and lines around the circles but not completely outline them.



I really want to try this more and get it a little neater next time and on all nails. The great thing about this is it can be done in lots of different colours too. What do you think of leopard? Is it one you’ll try? Any tips for me?


Love M
