Hi Goddesses
Thanks to Gwenn for letting her blog be Crumpeted today!
If there's one mani that never gets old for me, it's the Leopard print mani. Every time another blogger posts a neon version, a real toned version or an outrageously coloured one, I go all weak and wobbly inside.
I don't do them very often myself though, and I think that's just a symptom of having too many ideas, or too many other posts I want to do, so here, just for you, Gwenn's readers, are my very own Leopard Print nails.
This has a base of 3 coats of Cult Nails Untamed from their new collection. It's a lovely sugary, bubblegum pink, sprinkled with shimmer. It's so girly it hurts.
I then used a medium sized dotter to drag some silver spots onto the nail using OPI DS Coronation. The trick is to try to get them looking as non-uniform as possible.
And finally, using Orly Charged Up, I used my thinnest dotting tool to drag an outline around most (but not all) of the shape. Note that the key word here is DRAG. Dragging the polish with a dotting tool creates an irregular pattern that's really suited to this design.
This pattern is so simple yet so effective - it always looks stunning and dramatic, yet also relatively easy to do.
And there you have it - enjoy :) xx
