Here's what I used for my nail art look...
MeMeMe Nail Gloss in Alluring
Rimmel Lycra Pro in Posh Trash
Models Own Base/Top Coat
First I painted two coats of my base colour, in this case MeMeMe nail varnish in Alluring.
Then, using old hair grips, I dotted Rimmel Lycra Pro in Posh Trash at various points on the nail. You could also use a specific nail art pen for this as well as a pencil tip or, if you're careful, the normal nail varnish brush.
Then, using my liquid eyeliner, I roughly outlined the gold dots and filled in any spaces with leopard-like spots. Again, this can be done with a nail art pen.
Top tip: If you do use liquid eyeliner and find that it doesn't stay nicely on the nail varnish surface (think writing in felt tip on a cd) then a quick spritz of hairspray on the nails works a treat!
Having only ever used this eyeliner for nail art I don't know if this occurs with other brands, but I find that when the eyeliner dries it goes lighter and looks more grey. However, a top coat fixes this instantly so it's nothing to worry about.
And there you have it! Easy peasy!
What's your go-to easy nail art? x
That looks really cool! You have more patience than me though . . .
ReplyDeleteIt's really very easy, and doesn't take that long at all. You should give it a go! :) x
DeleteThis looks lovely. I haven't done leopard nails for so long, must do it again soon x
ReplyDeleteLeopard nails are the best! :)
DeleteI'm definitely going to try this (I'm usually way too uncoordinated for such endeavors). Just stumbled across your blog and it is lovely, I am following now and look forward to catching up on past posts and reading more in the future.
