Now that older fashions of the 70s and 80s are making a comeback, it is natural that nail art of the past has also become all the rage. In fact when you take a peek at this type of nail art, you will realize that this form of nail art will always be cool. If you are an aficionado of nail art then you will enjoy the tutorial of how to do this leopard art for you nails.
The best part is that this kind of nail art looks really bright and will surely catch you a lot of attention. The end result will be so random and unpredictable that no two nails will look absolutely identical. But the clash of colors in various shades of teal blue, purple, black will look so good that it will be almost like a psychedelic leopard was on your nails,. Imagine flaunting these hands at a party where you are dancing when the lights are flashing about? The result will be positively brilliant!
Once you have the basic art down, you can go ahead and experiment. As you keep doing this kind of art, you will realize that the colors available now are more varied than the ones available back in the 80s and this means the designs can be bolder and wider ranging.
Get started with the basics
- Nail polish that is positively colorful and belongs to the purple range of colors
- Fresh teal blue with fluorescent effect
- Hot pink ranging on the magenta hue
- A nail polish in the color that emulates the color of cherry blossoms
- A Konad plate of m57 number
- Special black polish, preferably Konad
- Another optional color is also green in a bright hue
Getting started: The Konad tool has been suggested because it is easy to use. But if you feel that you want to use something else that is cheaper like the ones that are available in most stores, you can do so. But you will find that this is one of the best ways to go. You can also choose to go for a toothpick to give shape to the leopard dot circles. There are many home grown options that you can go with, but the options given here are something that can make things easier and will produce good results the very first time.
You will find that as you work on your nails to create the very desirable neon look of the 80s, each of your nail will look different from the other. Some nails may be more purple than the others. And some nails may be more teal than purple. But the thing is that all these nails will look really cool altogether.
The first thing for you to do is apply a base coat and then move on to making the purple and teal dots. The leopard spot effect will be achieved by using the tool to make dots in the center with the cherry blossom colored polish in the center of the teal and purple spots.
You will find that a lot easier than the way it looks on the pictures. As you keep working nail by nail the leopard like spots will start to take shape and you will find yourself mesmerized by the effect you are creating. For a change you could try the whole art of creating leopard like spots on your nails using a softer palette of pastel shades. This would look entirely different from the one you create using brighter neon like shades.
