Purple Leopard Print Nail Art



This is my purple leopard print nail art tutorial, with black and purple colours and a leopard print accent and thumbnail :)


1)

For this design you will need three colours; purple, black and a lighter lilac shade (silver would also work if you don't have a lilac one).  I used Barry M #303 'Bright Purple' and MUA shade #2 and #24

2)


Start by painting your accent and thumbnail with your purple polish, and the remaining three with your black shade. 


3)




The first stage of creating the leopard print design is to paint some random kind of circular shapes on your accent nail. I did this by simply dabbing the brush flat on the nail and letting it make whatever shape came out (a few larger shapes work better than lots of small ones as it makes the next step easier). Do the same on your thumbnail. 


4)


To complete the leopard print look, take your black polish and, using the corner of your brush, carefully outline your lilac shapes but do not go all the way around them (think of 'U' and 'C' shapes rather than just circling them). Add some random tiny black dots in empty areas to add some more detail to this design. Repeat on your thumbnail.


And this is the finished leopard print nail art design :)
