Fancy Friday: Tutorial

Hello ladies!

Today I have some Fancy Friday nail art to show you guys!
This time the challenge is making a tutorial with either a movie or in pictures and I decided to make a picture tutorial on how to do leopard print nails!

Products used:
- OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around
- OPI Ice-Bergers & Fries
- Essie Licorice
- A dotting tool

Start off with a base coat to protect your natural nails. Then apply two coats of a light brown polish. Here I used OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around. 

Use a big dotting tool and a brown polish to make some random dots and shapes around the nails. For the brown I used OPI Ice-Bergers & Fries and I got my dotting tools on eBay.

Use a small dotting tool and black nail polish to outline the dots with different c-shapes. The black polish is Essie Licorice. 

When you are done outlining the dots, let your nails dry for about 10 minutes and seal in your design with your favorite top coat. 

Here is the finished result. 

I love leopard print nails and they are so easy to make!

30 Zoo Animal

Hey guys!

Today I have the last manicure for the June Nail Art Challenge to show you lovely ladies!
This time it is a zoo animal manicure and I decided to make a classic leopard print on my nails.

I started off with a nude base of OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around. Afterwards I used a big dotting tool and a brown nail polish to dot on random dots and shaped on all my nails. After that I used a small dotting tool and the black nail polish Essie Licorice to outline the dots with different c-shapes.

I love a good leopard print and this manicure is no exception!

Mix and Match

Hello ladies!

Today I made some nail art for you guys! It is mix and match manicure with oversized patterns inspired by this manicure by Sarah at Chalkboard Nails.

For the leopard nails I started off with a tan nude base. Afterwards I used a big dotting tool to dot on some random dots and shapes with a brown nail polish. Lastly I used a smaller dotting tool and a black nail polish to partly frame the random shapes with little, black c-shapes.

For the striped nails I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow. When that was completely dry I added some regular tape cut out in small strips, and painted over them with Essie Licorice. Afterwards I removed the tape to reveal the base colour, that was left untouched underneath.

I LOVE this manicure! It is just so awesome!

Animal Themed Manicure #1

Hey guys!

So today I am starting a brand new nail art theme with animal print manicures.
The first manicure in the series is a purple leopard print manicure!

I started off with a purple base of Essie Play Date. Then I used a big dotting tool and darker shade of purple, Max Factor Amethyst, to dot on some randomly sized and shaped spots around the nail. Lastly I used a smaller dotting tool and some black nail polish to outline the spots, some with C-shapes and some like brackets.

As you can see I did not have the time to add a top coat before taking pictures, so sorry about that!

What do you think of the nail art theme?
