How to create Multi Coloured Leopard Print Nails!

One day last week, I decided to play with my nail wheels and nail polishes and create some new designs. I posted my designs on Instagram and asked if anyone would like a tutorial for any of the designs and a lot of people said they'd like a tutorial for my multi coloured leopard print design, so here it is.


What you will need:
  • White nail polish - I used Orly 'White Out' 
  • Bright pink nail polish - I used Nubar 'Hot Pink'
  • Orange nail polish - I used 17 'Orange Soda' 
  • Yellow nail polish - I used Ciate 'Big Yellow Taxi' 
  • Green nail polish - I used Nubar 'Kiwi' 
  • Blue nail polish - I used O.P.I 'What's With The Cattitude' 
  • Purple nail polish - I used O.P.I 'Planks A Lot' 
  • Black nail art pen - I used the WAH Nail Art Pen
  • Dotting tools 

Before creating multi coloured leopard print nails, it's important to know how to create the leopard print. Below is a step by step photograph showing you how to create leopard print. 

How to create leopard print, the easy way:


If you would like to create multi coloured leopard print nails all you have to do is follow my nice and easy steps. 

Step One:
Apply two coats of the white nail polish to your nails. The white nail polish acts a blank canvas and it also makes colours appear a lot brighter. 


Step Two:
Using the different coloured nail polishes (pink, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple) and dotting tools, apply several dots to your nails. I created both medium and small dots but you can create either small, medium or large dots, or a mix of different sized dots. 


Step Three:
Using the WAH nail art pen, create the leopard print. 


Step Four:
Using the WAH nail art pen, fill in any gaps by creating small black splodges.


And we're done!

How to create Floral Nails!

I recently posted a photograph of my floral nails on Instagram and I have to say that I got plenty of positive feedback, 162 'loves' to be precise. Many of you also said that you'd like a tutorial so since I love you all so much, I decided to do one. So without further ado, here is my floral nail tutorial.

To create floral nails, you will need the following:
  • Mint green nail polish - I used Essie 'Mint Candy Apple'
  • Bright pink nail polish - I used China Glaze 'Shocking Pink' 
  • White nail polish - I used China Glaze 'Snow' 
  • Yellow nail polish - I used Ciate 'Big Yellow Taxi' 
  • Dotting tools - Can be purchased on eBay
  • Thin nail brush - Can be purchased on eBay

You don't have to use the exact nail polishes that I did, any nail polish will be fine so please don't feel like you have to rush out and buy these certain nail polishes. Also, cocktail sticks work as great nail art tools. 

If you would like to create floral nails all you have to do is follow my nice and easy steps! 

Step One:
Apply two coats of the mint green nail polish to your nails.



Step Two:
It’s time to create the base flowers on your nails. You will create flowers on every nail (except your ring finger nail).
For the base flowers you will need to use the bright pink and white nail polish, as you’ll be mixing the two together, you will also need a dotting tool.

How to create a flower the simple and easy way:

Step Three:
Using the bright pink nail polish and a dotting tool. It’s time to add darkness to the centre of each of the base flowers.



Step Four:
Now it’s time to add a hint of white to one half of each of the flowers. This is done to add dimension to the flowers.
To do this you will need to use the white nail polish and a thin nail brush.



Step Five:
Now it’s time to add a hint of pink to the other half of each of the flowers. Again, this is done to add dimension to the flowers (make them more life like).
To do this you will need to use the bright pink nail polish and a thin nail brush.



Step Six:
You will need to add ‘pollen’ to each of the flowers. To do this you will need to mix both the yellow and white nail polish to create a pastel yellow colour. You will also need to use a thin nail brush.



Step Seven:
To create flower leaves you will need to use green nail polish/paint and a small dotting tool. Simply dot a couple of ‘leaves’ around each of the flowers.



Step Eight:
It’s time to create stripes on your ring finger nail. First, apply three white stripes.
For this you will need to use the white nail polish and a thin nail brush.



Step Nine:
Next apply three pink stripes.
For this you will need to use the bright pink nail polish and a thin nail brush.


And we're done!



Here's another example of floral nails using different colours:
