Neon leopard print mani (tutorial)

Posted on May 28, 2013 by Polish Alcoholic

Today I have a very colorful mani for you guys, including a little tutorial 😀1. I started this mani with two coats of Don’t Pretzel My Buttons by OPI.
2. 3. 4. After my base color was completely dry I used a medium dottingtool and all the shades of the Ice Neon Collection by Models Own to create some splotches.
5. Then I used a small nail art brush to outline (not all the way around) the splotches with Liquid Leather by China Glaze.
6. I gave the design some time to dry thoroughly. You don’t want to mess it up with the top coat. In the meantime I cleaned up around my cuticles. Finish with a top coat and you’re done!Easy ha?!What do you think of this mani?

    I want it so badly No stores sell it where I live, though. And I just haven’t gotten around to ordering it.

    I always buy it on Ebay (3 at a time), that’s not so expensive that way 🙂

I’d like to marry this mani! It’s so funky and cool dammit!
I love the side bordered index, middle and pink fingers the most because that’s different! Also what makes this mani even more awesome is the nude base!

Leopardprints allways looks good, and some neons are really nice for some summer feeling! 🙂

I love it 🙂 But I think it is so difficult to maneuver around the dots, I am on the hunt for a nail art pen, especially one from Migi ( fine tip) or Barry M ( felt tip)

  Thanks hon! It’s easier than it looks, really! But I think it’s way easier with a nail art pen!
