Follow my quick step-by-step nail tutorial if you'd like to achieve these easy leopard print nails.
Very popular right now, and if I can do it anyone can!
You need three nail polishes. Any colours will work, but I find using your palest colour as a base, with slightly darker spots and black for detail looks the best.
I'm using Models Own Utopia and Nude Beige. And a black nail art pen (using the pen tip) and you can get a full set of these for a great price here on ebay.
These shades create a natural 'traditional' leopard print but bright primary colours can look amazing!
- Start by painting your nails in your base colour. (Utopia)
- Wait to dry.
- Splodge on messy dots (Nude Beige)
- Place the splodges fairly evenly apart but at varying sizes.
- Don't worry about being too accurate - your nails won't look great now but it will all come together!
- Wait for the dots to dry.
- Using your nail art pen tip in black, create squiggly lines on either sides of the dots
- Add some random black curves where needed.
- Best Tip: Copy these photos!
- Wait for your nails to dry completely. I'm talking hours of waiting before you apply a top coat. I actually wait overnight before I apply any top coat. Too many a time I have ruined my whole design by smudging the black with a top coat. The black polish takes the longest to dry and even when it feels dry to touch, its not. Trust me.

Enjoy your fun animal print nails and wait for the compliments roll in.
