Leopard nail art - swatches and tutorial

These cool leopard nails are fun and easy to do!
They are also my humble contribution to this Nail Art Sunday :)

My cute inspiration - snow leopards! :D

This is what I used to create this manicure :)

I used the following polishes:
Illamasqua Load - a creamy white
Orly Prince Charming - a mushroomy cream
Depend #39 - a glossy black

How to do these leopard nails:
1) Apply base colour.
2) Stamp the leopard pattern with Konad plate m57.
3) Fill in the "holes" in the leopard pattern using a dotting tool.
4) Seal the manicure with a top coat. Done! :)

What do you think?
Fab, mad or just bad? ;)

  1. Jag tyckte om det! :) Själv brukar jag göra djurmönster i galna kulörta färger och det var fint att se djurmönster i dess "rätta" färg. + att inspirationsbilden var hur söt som helst! :D

  5. ohhh I love it! And I have all those supplies except I only have a matte brown polish, I'm going to try it :)

  6. It doesn't matter if the brown is matte! You'll still have to finish of the manicure with a top coat to seal in your design. Problem solved! ;)
    Try it! :D
    Leave a note here if you are posting it to your blog! I'd like to see your version! :D

  7. Very nice! :-) Of all "animal" manicures, I think the most I like leopard manicures :-) I've done it in few versions and I keep going back to leopards :-)
