Leopard nails

Hi, today's manicure was inspired by a post on beauty junctions site. I've always loved leopard nails but never had a go as I never thought I'd be able to do it. It was much easier than I thought!

First I did my base coat and base colour in mint green from Rimmel. I've used thus lots in posts. I love the colour and think its great for spring.

Once this was dry I used my Barry m glitter varnish in silver and put dots on my nails. Again wait for this to dry and I used my black nail art pen to go around the edges to create the leopard style effect. Once this is all dry then I used my good top coat from Sally Hansen - double duty.

I realise this may take a while but I did this on a Sunday night in my slanket (blanket with sleeves) whilst watching TOWIE in front of the fire because my boilers broken. I love using nights in to do my nails. I figure if I'm sat on the sofa doing nothing anyway I might as well have nice nails.

Fingers crossed my boiler gets fixed soon though!! Let me know if you try this out and post any links. Check out the link that I got this idea from too. Maria x
