Neon Summer Leopard Print

Hey Y'all!

Today I have a super simple leopard print design but in a hot neon color!

I did a similar design to this about 2 years ago with pink but this time I went with a hot neon teal!

Even though this design is so simple, I just love the way it looks because of the white leopard spots. The white completely pops against the teal and makes it a stand out design!

Here's How:

I started with a neon teal base called "Mer-Made Of Money" by Salon Perfect.

Then with a dottin tool and some white polish (Salon Perfect "Sugar Cube") I placed random white dots or blobs, for the leopard print.

Next I outlined the white dots with a black nail art liner called "Black Ink" by Salon Perfect. I just created "c" shapes around the dots not completely outlinin them.

It'll look like this when done.

To finish it off I went in with the dottin tool and the black polish and added dots randomly around the nail fillin in bare spots.

Use your favorite top coat to seal it all in. I use Salon Perfect.

and that's it!

Here's the video:

Don't ask me why, but the other day I got it in my head that I needed some mini leopard print in my life. So I set out to cover all 10 fingernails in it! It took me an hour! I painted them in bed while catchin up on Youtube videos so the time passed quickly, but it did take forever! That bein said I absolutely LOVE them!

I also painted the bottoms red to add that Louboutin look!

Here's How:

Start with a nude base. I used Avon "Barely There."

Then with a teeny tiny dotting tool or toothpick and some black acrylic paint begin drawin tiny c's all over your nail.

Keep drawin them randomly around the nail. I like to start at the cuticle and add some dots every now and then.

Keep goin til it looks like this.

Then with a gold polish, Confetti "Debutante," and the same dotting tool, I added dots in the middle of all the open c's.

Til it looks like this.

With a small brush and acetone cleanup any excess paint on the skin.

Then on the bottom of my nails I took a red polish and gave them that Louboutin look. I used Zoya "Haley."

Use your favorite top coat to seal it all in. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it!

I hope y'all enjoyed this one! I don't know if I've ever really done a video showin a leopard print so it was fun to do that while also givin it a step up!

I really love the way these turned out! Even though it took awhile to do these, it wasn't so bad that I wouldn't do it again! I just needed somethin different right now and this was perfect!
