Cute leopard nails



















Yesterday I was inspired by a blogpost from That's Peachy to paint my nails in a leopard print. The look is actually quite easy to achieve, and I think it is a really cute look for summer..

I used a minty green base color, but of course you can use any color you like :)
I started out by painting my nails with the base color using three layers of color, and waited for it to dry. Then I used a shimmery gold color to apply the spots (and again you could use any golden/orange/brown color you'd like) and waited for it to dry. Then I simply took a liquid eyeliner to paint the thin black contouring streaks. And at last I used a top coat :) Voila!

The nail polishes I used were:
Base coat: a minty green color from Claire's (I can't see any name or number on it..)
Spots: Nail polished from H&M in the color Wawawoom
Top coat: Quick shine for nails from Chanel in the color 50 Naturel
