Glitter Leopard

I got a bit adventurous with the nails today - Glitter leopard. I have been putting of an assignment I have like crazy and this is what I managed to do instead. Very productive I think :p

The photos don't quite do them justice. The leopard print does stand out more in real life and they are pretty sparkly which you can't quite tell in these pictures.  



Here is what I used to create these babies.


It was super easy, here's what I did it;
I started off by applying my Orly base coat
I then applied 2 coats of Essie's Playa Del Platnium (which is a really nice greige)
I then used my Sally Hansen nail art pen and attempted (very dodgely) to create a leopard print pattern.
♥ Ove the top I applied a cheap glitter polish by BYS in silver over the top. The glitter layer works really well at it sort of disguises the leopard print if you have done a bad job like me, especially on my right hand. Next time I would use glitter with a thinner consistency as it covered up the leopard a bit more than I would have liked.

That's it! I was suprised with the amount of compliments I got about them today.  I want to do gold toned glitter leopard next time. I think that would be awesome.


Not long until the weekend, yay :)
