Leopard print nails!


Want to get these nails?! Here are the products and method I used, hope you enjoy :)

Firstly, I did two base coats in the colour, 'Lemon Drop' by Rimmel London. This has a lovely fruity smell as well, bonus! Sorry for how messy the nail varnish is btw hehe..


I then used this varnish, which is 'Mad About Mango' by Revlon, to create the spots. Now, I am no nail art professional, and have no special tools to do the job. So, to achieve the desired effect, I used the end of a bobby pin! Honestly, it works genius! Instead of dipping your whole bobby pin into the bottle, blob a sufficient amount onto a piece of paper, and get spotting! This is also scented, it's mouth watering! Smells of skittles, my favourite sweets!


I then finally used a brown, 'Jermyn Street' by nails inc. I used this to create an outline on the spots. You don't have to outline every single spot, it looks more realistic when you leave some spots bare. You could use a black for this, I would recommend a Revlon or Barry M product, however, I tried it, and felt it was to harsh compared to the yellow and orange. To do this, i used the sharp end of a cocktail stick! They are sooo handy for this. 
So you can achieve this look, without having to fork out for special nail tools or anything like that. Woohoo!

Thanks for reading! xx
