Simple and easy leopard print nails tutorial

Easy and cheap way to update your nails by using old polishes! You can easily do this by yourself, even on both sides of your hands, it doesn't have to be perfect as its easy to clear the mess!

Need:
Two nail varnish colours of your choice Models Own Pink Fizz(L) and Utopia (R).
  • An old liquid black eyeliner preferably with a thin brush (Rimmel London Glam eyes professional liquid eyeliner).
  • Top coat (Rimmel Matte Finish top coat)
    • Apply the choice of nail varnish on your nails (don't mind my ugly unpolished nails..thats why i asked my baini who has nice long nails)














  • Let your nails dry and then with the black liquid eyeliner draw on parallel squiggly borderlines allowing a small space between the parallel lines to fill the second nail varnish colour in that space. Make the different squiggly borders in different sizes, it does not have to be perfect. If you make a mistake with the liner then just rub it off with a cotton bud, the nail varnish won't be affected as its just eyeliner.














  • With the second nail varnish colour of your choice, fill in the space between the squiggly parallel lines.

  • Let that dry and then use a top coat over the nails to give it a lasting finish. I used Rimmels Matte Finish Top coat which makes the nail polish last up to 10 days, plus I personally prefer a matte finish on this design as I think it gives a 3-D finish (probably because of the glitter nail varnish too). But if you prefer an opaque and shiny finish then it is perfectly fine too.

If some cannot be bothered to do this then just get these nail strips from boots!
