Remember Lisa Frank? Her school supplies were the technicolor obsession of me and my friends back in the day. Who says neon leopard print is just for middle schoolers? |
This manicure is so trashy. And I LOVE it! Leopard print had its heyday in the 1990's on my school folders but seems to be making a strong comeback, which is purrrfectly (sorry-I couldn't help myself) alright with me. This look is really quite easy and can be adapted to any color combination. Follow along with me as I create a nail look both Lisa Frank and JWoww would be proud of.
2) Select the shade for the leopard spots, preferably one that has nice contrast with your background color. Here I am using Zoya Pasha, a silvered taupe. Using the nail polish wand, create randomly shaped and placed spots on your nail. I usually place four or five spots on each nail.
3) Dip the tip of a nail art brush or a cheap eyeliner brush (like the one I am using here) into your third color. Typically black, this last color should be the darkest of the three. I am using Sally Hansen Diamond Strength in Black Diamond, a black with silver shimmer. Careful to not run into your other spots, trace each spot you created in step 2. However, do not trace the whole spot- aim to create "C" shapes around the dots, or create a more sporadic outline.
4) Finish off with your favorite top coat, and you are ready to roar!
