Yesterday, I came across a tutorial by WAH nails for their famous leopard print design on their Tumblr page. They used the nail art pens which were released as part of their collaboration with Models Own. I haven't bought them yet, but I think I'll add them to my cart as a post-essay treat as everyone seems to think they're pretty good. In the video the woman says to make disconnected triangle shapes, or kind of semi-circle shapes, which didn't work out too great on my first trial. My thumb nail in the first photo was my first attempt, and it didn't really come out looking like leopard print. It started getting a little better across the rest of my nails, but by the time I got to my second hand I went back to my old technique - random splodges - which came out much better.

No doubt if you use the art pens, and have a little more practice at the technique, then it will come out better as the tutorial shows. I hope they do more tutorials because it will be amazing to see how they do some of the more complex designs.
Have you tried this technique? Do you use the art pens?
These look stunning!I don't really have the time to play around with my nails anymore,but if I did I would definitely try this technique :)
ReplyDeleteHope you've had a good weekend xx
I adore that base colour you've used.
ReplyDeleteI must say, their nail pens do make leopard print look so much better when you get the hang of it. I haven't used my liquid liner trick in a while now! I recommend the nail pen if you like doing leopard nails regularly. They make it look even more splodgey and realistic!
