Nail Art - Easy Cheetah Nails



It's been a long time since I've posted a nail art post, so I decided to come up with an easy, simple cheetah nail. Animal prints are very popular right now, and since we all love nail polish, I wanted to show you all an easy way to have cheetah print on your nails. I decided to only have an accent nail with cheetah print, for simplicity, but I have also tried it all on all ten nails. 

First, I applied Pro FX Protein Enriched Base Coat and Revitalizer.


Then, I used Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Gilty Pleasure as my base. Any beige or light brown metallic polish will work for this design.


After that, I used the matte version of OPI You Don't Know Jacques and a small dotting tool (I used a bobby pin!) to make little spots on my nails. I know that the normal version of this OPI polish does not like the matte version. Any medium brown with or without shimmer will work. 


Then, using a toothpick and Rimmel Black Satin, I made "C" shapes around the spots and irregular ovals in any empty spaces. If you don't have this specific polish, any black creme polish will work just fine.



Finally, wait until everything is completely dry, about 10 or 15 minutes. You don't want the top coat to smear you design. I used Pro FX Quick Dry Top Coat

And you're finished! I hope you enjoyed this easy design, check back often for more!
