Catch a Cheetah by the toe. . . nail



I had originally painted my nails with the hot pink and intended to leave them that way.  After a day I had to pout something on them haha.  The cheetah pattern is something I've been working at with no luck till today :) Using a lighter version of whatever the base coat is as circles really gives the design dimension and pulls off the desired look.  The pink is much brighter in person. I'm disappointed with the photograph and think I'm going to use a bright green next time.


First: paint entire nail Hot Pink. Or any color really
Second: using black polish, I used a sharpie for more control, make small ameba shapes and then half circles in the empty spaces
Third: use the back end of a paintbrush to add contrast color dots on one outer edge of each ameba shape
Fourth: seal with top coat
