Fancy Nails!!

Matesse Elite - Solid Gold

Matesse Elite - Golden Pearl

Matesse Elite Nail Art Paint - Black

OPI - RapiDry Top Coat

1. Paint nails with two coats of Matesse Elite Solid Gold and allow to dry

2. Google image search “leopard print”!

3. Using Matesse Elite Golden Pearl apply the polish in irregular dots by holding the brush perpendicular to the nails and dotting the tips of the brush directly down on the nails.  Be sure to wipe most of the polish of the brush so you can better control how much polish goes onto the nail.

4. Allow to dry

5. Using the Matesse Elite Nail Art Paint in Black make irregular black spots around the Golden Pearl polish trying to replicate the spot pattern of the leopard print image you presumably googled 3 steps ago.

6. Once the nails are mostly dry apply OPI RapiDry TopCoat to the entire nail.

Note: Don’t look at this and immediately assume you can’t do it. It looks much more difficult to do than it actually is.  The spots should look irregular so the polish doesn’t have to be very precise, which is helpful when painting with your weaker hand. 

If there’s one thing I don’t like, it must be leopard print! I don’t care how in season it is, or just as small details to lift the outfit. The worst combination however would probably be leopard prints on leggings worn as pants. Chills down my back. No good connotations to leopard print whatsoever.

That being said. I need to make those nails!
