The nails are back in animal form!

IOk it's time for the blogs again and I thought I would have to start with one of my favourite nail arts of the summer! A gradient nail with leopard print bows :) 


First I started with a white nail... Once that had dried I could start my gradient effect! This was done by using a makeup sponge and applying a layer of one colour then a layer of the other colour on top to create this look... 


Then dab it onto your nails ensuring all the nail is covered and you should end up with something like this... 


As you can see.. It is very giant so once these have dried, do it all over again and you should end up with something like this!! 

          (This was after three coats) 

Now time for the animal print bow! I love doing leopard print nails so I fancied doing them in a different style!! 
Start of with two dots of your chosen nail varnish (I do this with a hair grip or tooth pick) and shape it to your desired leopard spot shape 


Do two more either side but going vertically diagonal like this... 


Once dry draw black outlines around them so create the spot effect and it should look something like this.... 


Add little black dots around the spots to create a more animal print effect and this is what you will get.. 


Ad some gems in the centre of your now and a top coat... Tidy up your nails if you need to and there you have grandieng leopard print bows!!
