Tools

I used:

• Barry M 245 Gold
• Barry M 304 Mint Green
• Barry M 306 Blueberry I/C
• Barry M 348 Prickly Pear
• Miss Sporty 480 Baby Pink
• Barry M 705 Quick dry top coat
• Striping tape

Step 1

Paint your nails gold.

Step 2

Put three strips of striping tape across each nail.

Step 3

Paint each section of the nail a different pastel colour. I used green, blue, purple, and pink. I did all the nails the same but you could change the ordering for the ring finger to make it an accent nail if you wanted. Make sure you remove the tape immediately after you have painted the colours either side of it so you don't end up pulling the nail varnish off once it is dry.

Finally, cover your nails in the top coat to protect them.

Leopard Print Nails!

Leopard Print Nails!

Rating: **

Firstly, I want to apologize that there has been a bit of a break in posting. It's exam season here in the UK so I can't wear nail varnish and I didn't have a back up plan. Hopefully everything should be back to normal soon.

Finished nails

Tools

I used:

• 'Miss Sporty 344 Grape Fit'
• 'Barry M 306 Blueberry I/C'
• 'Barry M Nail Art Pen silver'
• 'Barry M Nail Art Pen black'
• 'Barry M 54 Clear'

Step 1

Paint the nails with your base colour. For this design you can use any colour you like, although a pastel colour works best. I chose to do one design with purple and another with blue. Don't worry if it is messy, you can clean it up at the end either with a cotton bud and nail varnish remover or you can peel it off!

Step 2

Paint silver spots on your nails. Make them all slightly different shapes and sizes and aim for around 4 or 5 spots on each finger, depending on the size of the nail.

Step 3

Draw black lines around each of the silver spots and add some small lines in between each spot too, to create the leopard print effect.

Step 4

Paint over each nail with a top coat to seal in the design

Finally, clean up around the nails to make them look neat.

Finished nails

Tools

I used:

• '17 Heartbeat'
• 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 280 Sunshine'
• 'Collection 2000 103 French White'
• 'The Colour Workshop Purple Glaze'
• 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 030 Double Decker Red'
• 'Barry M 54 Clear'
• A small dotting tool

Step 1

Paint the nails using a pastel shade. I used pale blue but any pastel/pale colour would work just as well. Don't worry if it is messy, you can clean it up at the end either with a cotton bud and nail varnish remover or you can peel it off!

Step 2

Use the dotting tool to place yellow dots on your nails for the centers of the flowers. I did three on each nail (except the thumbs where I did 4) but you can do as many or as little as you would like, although too many would become crowded and ruin the effect. Make sure you leave enough space around them for the petals, unless you are doing loads and want them to overlap.

Step 3

Use the dotting tool to place 5 white dots around one of the yellow dots on each finger, to make the flowers. If you don't want to use the same colours as me then start with the palest colour as, if the petals end up overlapping, the paler colour will struggle to be seen over the darker ones.

Step 4

Use the dotting tool to place 5 pale pink dots around one of the yellow dots on each finger, to make the flowers. Again, if you aren't using the same colours as me, this should be your middle shade.

Step 5 

 Use the dotting tool to place 5 red dots around one of the yellow dots on each finger, to make the flowers. Again, if you aren't using the same colours as me, this should be your darkest colour.

Step 6

Paint over each nail with the top coat to seal in the design.

Finally, clean up around the nails to make them look neat.
