Leopard Nails

I don't know fi you have noticed, but leopard print is very in this season.  I have been seeing it EVERYWHERE: hats, scarves, shoes, shirts, belts, etc.  Now, I have never really been into animal prints.  I always thought they were a bit tacky.  And they can be.  But lately I have been seeing them done in a really great way.  It's all about using them as a statement piece, and not letting the print take over.  Therefore, if your shirt is leopard, nothing else should be.  If your shoes are, then wear a simple colored outfit.  Now this is just how I feel about it, I know some people like to make everything they are wearing an animal print.  YIKES.

Since I don't own anything with an animal print I thought about how I could incorporate it into my look this season.  I had seen leopard nails done before so I decided to give it a try.  Here is what I came up with!
Step 1: Base coat...I chose a nude color

Step 2:  Make random spots with a darker color


Step 3: Outline spots with black polish
And Voila!
(Yes, that is Blanche from Golden Girls on the TV)

 Here are the colors I used:
Base

Spots


I actually got A LOT of compliments on my nails, I was shocked!  So if you ever want to let your wild side out, give this a try!  It's nice because it's supposed to look random and messy!  

Good luck!
