Sophia's Leopard print nails!

I saw this style on the WAH nails site ages ago and have been loving it ever since. Some people think it looks tacky but i love it. It's fun and i promise it's easy to do. All you need is your base colour, the colours you want for the dots, a cocktail stick or dotting tool (makes it easier) and a nail art pen or black liquid eyeliner. simple

Im going to use my boyfriends nail to show you how to do achieve this look because ive already painted my nails. So just incase you think i have man hands, its not me lol. All nail polish is Models Own in the post.
all products from Models Own
So my boyfriend chose (well...i made him choose lol) Feeling Blue for the base and i chose Jade Stone, Pastel Pink and Lemon Meringue for the blobs.
random blobs!
After your base coat has dried a bit you simple blob dots onto the colour. They dont have to perfect round dots. They can diferent shapes and sizes. Just go for it. You can either get a newspaper/old plate and put a big drop onto it and dip the dotting tool/cocktail stick in or i just undo the the polish and dip the tool onto the brush. I find Models Own drys fast, so leaving a dollop on paper/plate makes it go stringy.

When your finished wth the dotting tool your nails will look something like the picture on the left. Now the leopard bit. Wait til the dots are almost dry or tacky otherwise they will smudge or drag. Take your nail art pen or liquid eyeliner and draw around the blobs doing thin semi circles. You dont need to go all the way around. Again dont worry about it being neat. My WAH nails pen has gone watery (boo!) so thats the why the middle blob is thick. If you think you dont have enough leopard dots you can do random semi circles and squiggles/dots just on the base colour. Easy!!
Done!!
Ta-da!! If you used a liquid eyeliner always use a top coat otherwise it will wash right off. I love wearing this on my toes and like decorating my friends toes with this design. Its easy and fun...&maybe a bit tacky ;)
