Animal motifs on the nails are attracting and captivating more and more women. This fashionable hysteria has even touched the stars, who actively “tame” the spotted prints on clothes and nails. Location: Location: Leopard print is more relevant than ever. If you have not tried it on yourself, then it's time to do it, for example, to do a "spotted" manicure. You can apply it yourself, because the technique for making leopard nails is very simple. You can change the size and frequency of the pattern, experiment with color colors and variations (apply spots on the tips of the nails or all over the platinum). So, for a manicure you will need varnishes, special paints for nails with thin brushes or toothpicks, nail polish remover, base coat or base varnish, cotton pads, nail file, fixer.
The first step is to prepare the nail plate. This stage includes nail processing, cleaning and degreasing. You need to trim your nails to the desired length and shape them with a file. For degreasing, you can use an ordinary nail polish remover, but it should not contain acetone. Then you should proceed to applying the base coat. This way the manicure will last longer.
After the base dries, you need to start applying varnish, which will be the background. Remember, the color should contrast with the spots. And in order for it to be smoother and more saturated, it is necessary to apply 2-3 layers. But do not forget that before proceeding to the application of the next layer, the previous one must dry well.
Now it's time to draw the dots. They should be applied randomly, using fine brushes or toothpicks. It is important to do this carefully, with one touch. You also need to make sure that they do not blur. A steady hand is needed here. But if it is not stable, you should pay attention to the support of the wrist and elbow while working. There is no need to worry and worry if the spots are not alike: after all, the pattern on the skin of animals is also far from ideal.
Then you need to shape the dots so that the pattern looks like a leopard. With black varnish (you can take another, it all depends on what effect you want to achieve), you should circle the points with a thin line around the edges. You should not try to make the contour even. The drawing will look most advantageous if the edges are torn, not closed. Further, for a complete picture, you can add some small black spots.
The final touch is fixer. But keep in mind, you should not rush, you need to let the varnish dry well. And only after that, apply the final layer.
