I’ve been browsing this tumblr for the past few days and fell in love with the gorgeous manicures on there. I was inspired to do a leopard nail manicure, I thought it was going to be a bit tricky but this is SO easy, trust me! You don’t need a steady hand, and both of your hands will look amazing cause you don’t need your dominant hand to make it look good.

You start by picking a base colour and another colour for the dots, preferably ones that match, like opposite colours (what I chose) or picking a dark colour as a base and the same colour but lighter for the dots (or the other way around) that will work great as well!

Draw random dots all over your nails! Could it be any easier? Looks totally ridiculous and sort of resembles a disease but it will look good don’t worry! The colours I used are I Sea You and I Scream Peach, both by Catrice.

Dot some black nail polish on a piece of paper, grab a cue tip and draw some lines around the dots, leave gaps in between to make it look like a leopard print. This may look slightly hard but it’s really simple and it doesn’t matter if you mess up. It’s fool proof!

All done! Rawr!

Yesterday I posted this on Facebook, cool right? It’s called an Ombre manicure and it’s basically a transition of light to dark but with a different colour on each nail. I must have ten different bottles of blue you girls are thinking, well, I don’t. You have to mix 1 colour with white each time! The colour on my pinky finger is the “original” nailpolish. It’s one of the show your feet nailpolishes by Essence, I used the same nailpolish in a previous look. You just use a piece of paper to mix each colour on, start with some white and add some blue, paint two nails on each hand, then dab on another blob of white and add less blue, and continue this way until you’ve got a nice transition. It’s best to start off with a dark colour as your main polish, but you can also use a lighter one and then add black to go darker.

Of course the picture on the top isn’t very good as it’s a webcam image, so here a cooler one with my camera. The ring I’m wearing is also from kruidvat, and only cost €4,95. Cheap and fun!
