Nail Tutorial - Leopard Gel Nails

Leopard Gel Nails

Chance upon this amazing nail art online and decided to try it. It looks amazing and difficult but fret not i will break down the steps for you.

One thing... I wrote gel nails, do not be confuse with the gelish nail. Gel nail art is the use of mixing nail polish with clear nail polish creating a semi translucent polish. Almost jelly like.

I'm gonna contrast the colours with dark green from O.P.I Jade is the new black,
yellow from China Glaze Sun-kissed and light green from Faceshop GR501.

Apply 1 coat of  your favourite base coat, let it dry, apply 2 coats of
coloured nail polish. Im alternating the colours, the nail art will only
go onto light green nail polish.

I use my fav acrylic paint for the leopard print. Mix green with a little dark blue
to get close to my O.P.I colour.

Leopard print usually has a inner dot followed by the outer layer. For today i imagine i have the dot
and only paint the outer layer. You could click here for my full
leopard print tutorial and you would understand 

Using the prints to create shapes. Think of the shapes and fill that
shape with leopard prints.

Now to create Gel/Jelly polish. Mix 1 drop of clear nail polish
with 1 drop of green nail polish. Using the same brush and apply onto
nails. Don't apply to entire nails but section it. And with each application you
might need to remix the polish, you want the polish to smoothly
glide onto you nails and since the polish is exposed it dries out fast.

Create Gel/Jelly nail polish with the yellow and apply onto the parts
that you have not painted with green.

Let  it dry for 5 mins and apply your fav top coat.

And there you have it.... Contrast Leopard Gel Nail Art..

Nail Tutorial - Pretty Mess

Pretty Mess 

To be honest i created this nail art based solely on boredom and lack of ideas. The amazing thing is it turned out awesome!!! hahahhhaa 

Not much description today so Let's Go....

Here are the nail polishes for today. O.P.I Angel with a Leadfoot
Nicole O.P.I Thats's putting it Mild, China Glaze Midtown Magic.

After your basic cleaning manicure, add a layer of your fav base coat.

Paint on 1 thin layer of White Nail Polish. Doesn't matter if its uneven,
 we will cover that up nicely.
Soon...

Get ready a makeup sponge. you might not need a big piece, so cut out desired size.
Oh make sure the size is a little bigger then your nail length.

Fold the makeup sponge into half, creating a curve. Apply 3/4 Nude & 1/4 white.
You might need to apply 2 coats on the makeup sponge, depending on the
thickness of the nail polish you using.

Now roll the sponge onto your nail, ater which start dabbing sponge
onto nail. Allow the nail polish to semi dry and repeat until you get the desired colour

Cover the entire nail bed . Yes it gets messy but we can clean that up.

I use a thick brush, dip into nail polish remover and clean up
the sides.

Tear up a small piece of Glad Wrap and crumbe it together.

Spread nail polish onto work station. DO NOT spread too much nail polish,
spread a thin layer.

Take the Glad wrap and dap onto the spreaded nail polish, just once or
twice is enough.

Dap Glad wrap onto nail. Maybe once or twice, don't over do it
you  will end up with a black nail.

Messy

Once you done with the black, repeat same technique and dap
white nail polish. Just dap once.

Voila You are done!
