Leopard Nails & Toes!!

Hi guys! I'm back from my LA trip and I couldn't feel more rejuvenated!! My weekend with Dinair was exceptionally memorable -- I've met the most amazing people, saw some of the coolest things and left feeling so much richer. I can't wait to share all the pictures with you and relive the memories once again :)) 

Today, I've got leopard on my mind. Leopard was quite a theme for me over the weekend, so I couldn't help but use it as my inspiration for this week's nail art. I'm featuring two looks -- one for nails and one for toes -- and I'm incorporating both hand-painted designs as well as stickers to show you how easy it is to wear LEOPARD!!

Read on for the tutorial!

Leopard Nails & Toes!

On my TOES, I'm wearing two types of appliqués: 

• Broadway Nails ImPRESS Press-On Manicure Alli Simpson Signature Series in "Starstruck"
• Although ImPRESS press-on nails are meant for the hands, I'm wearing them on my big toes after cracking my left toenail in half. Thank Goodness for ImPRESS -- my toe nail was fixed in an instant! The size 0 nail fits my toes perfectly and the short length of these ImPRESS make it an ideal match for my size 6 feet.
• Kiss Nail Dress in "Marabou" -- used on the remaining toe nails. This sparkly 3D leopard design is neutral, but funky -- I can't wait to wear it on my hands!

On my NAILS, I'm wearing:

• Duri Rejuvacote Base Coat
• China Glaze Nail Lacquer Summer Neons Collection in Splish-Splash (shimmery bright blue)

Blue Leopard Nails How-To:

1. Apply your base coat and follow with two coats of Splish Splash (shimmery blue). Optional: Add a French tip to an accent nail of your choice.
2. Add random swirls of Ride The Waves (satin blue) on top of Splish Splash.
3. Add Mosaic Madness (glitter) on top of Ride The Waves and top with Seche Vite top coat to even out the surface for the next step.
4. Using a black nail art pen or black polish on a fine brush, paint tiny C's and dots to imitate the leopard pattern. Keep it messy and freehand for best results.
5. Finish with Seche Vite top coat.

 VOILA!!!
