Leopard Print Nail Art
The original leopard print is the design that made the WAH Nails name famous in the nail world. They didn't invent applying leopard print to nails, but took it to the next level. Leopard print is a classic - it can be grown-up chic or wild and crazy and can be painted in so many colorways that you are guaranteed to find a combination to suit you. <b>You will need:</b> - Mint green nail polish - White nail polish - Black nail-art pen

Step 1

Paint your nails with the mint green base color. Allow to dry.

Step 2

Take your white nail polish and, using a semi-dry brush, paint white strokes dotted around the nail, starting at the center.

Step 3

With your black nail-art pen, make broken circles and semi-circles around the dots.

Step 4

Continue until all the white spots are outlined.
