Leopard manicure

For many women, a beautiful and well-groomed manicure is an indispensable component of a successful and harmonious image, which is why women spend hours in beauty salons. Leopard manicure, made on an animalistic theme, can be considered universal, because it will always attract attention and will look “expensive” and elegant. This manicure design can be done in a beauty salon or at home. It is worth learning more about this design, about interesting ideas and beauty secrets.

From year to year, animal prints on nails are becoming more and more popular. The nails of many beauties today are in line with fashion trends. The nail art industry is constantly evolving, which means that new items simply cannot be ignored, not taken into account.

Animal print on nails always looks luxurious and interesting. It can be performed in a variety of techniques - and it is not at all necessary to make such a design on every nail. Leopard nail design is suitable for both everyday life and any holiday party. The main thing is a moderate and harmonious combination with the image as a whole.

Moreover, it is the contrasting leopard colors that call for a storm of enthusiastic emotions - especially when they are complemented by beautiful rhinestones.

Leopard manicure is also useful in that it easily hides all the irregularities of the nail plate. Behind the animal spots they simply will not be visible. Leopard-style manicure will look great both on your own and extended nails.

For several years now, leopard nail coloring has been considered very stylish. It is especially often ordered by young girls who turn to beauty salons, and in a variety of designs and techniques. It can be a luxurious professional drawing, as if a real artist depicted the spots of a mighty leopard. A good option is cartoon animal spots, which look especially cute on the nails of young ladies.

This way you will not make the image too overloaded and tasteless. If you really want to complement the image with something unusual, then choose a leopard handbag, clutch or glasses with animal print frames.

Gold rings and bracelets will help to decorate hands with a leopard pattern in classic colors, but it is best to choose jewelry without very massive and catchy stones.

So, you can perform a leopard manicure as follows:

• In the classic version. This is when the entire nail plate is covered with leopard spots (or even the face of this beast). Moreover, the spots can be located both on all nails, and on two - for example, on the nameless and middle ones.
• A leopard jacket looks no less interesting when the free edge of the nail is decorated with luxurious animal spots. If they are also traced with gold and supplemented with pebbles, then it will look very elegant.
• Non-standard - and at the same time, leopard spots made of velvet, which are most often made using acrylic powder, do not look very catchy. This design is best left to the master.
• The simplest technique for performing this type of manicure is the use of animalistic leopard print sliders. They are simple and safe to use. In addition, you can easily cope with them at home.
• If you are completely bored, then why not make the leopard spots hot pink or blue, paint them with a neon color that will glow in the dark of a nightclub.

Of course, this is not the whole list of techniques in which you can perform a leopard nail design. It is very important that it can be done using both conventional varnishes and gel options. The latter, of course, will be more persistent and saturated. In addition, gel polishes can be easily painted with acrylic paint, which gives an amazing result.

So that the leopard nail design does not turn out to be boring, you can use the following materials to diversify it:

• colored rhinestones, crystals, pebbles;
• rubbing for nails, shiny powders, especially gold and silver;
• small broths;
• foil;
• stickers.

It is equally important to have special brushes for decoration. You should definitely have a thin brush for drawing and dots in your arsenal, with which it is very convenient to make even points.

To date, you will not experience difficulties in finding the design you need on the Internet, even if you have run out of your own ideas. You can make many leopard decors on nails on your own, if you have the desire and time. If you need the perfect manicure for any occasion, then it is best to use the services of specialists. Useful tips to keep in mind:

• Classic (but never out of fashion) leopard pattern in its natural colors of brown and black. This option is appropriate for almost any occasion. The main color for such a nail design is better to choose in the nude range.
• A color option, when any bright varnishes serve as the main color, and spots are made using white and black colors.
• Leopard spots on gold and silver look no less stylish. Such a manicure will be a great addition to a luxurious evening dress.
• If you are tired of banal techniques, then combine several at once - for example, make a moon manicure in matte black on several fingers, cover others with white and decorate with unusual leopard spots with the addition of a reddish tint.
• An excellent solution would be to decorate several fingers with an animal print, and others with decorative ornaments.
• White and blue nails and a leopard print on half of the nail of the ring or middle finger will look very unusual. This decor will be a great solution for summer holidays.
• If you are going to do nails in a beauty salon, you can choose an aquarium manicure technique. Noble leopard spots will be located on top.
• Animalistic spots look interesting on the gradient.Moreover, it does not have to be boring cream in the transition to brown. You can give preference to the rainbow version.

If you are going to start coloring your nails, be sure to file them to the desired shape, remove all burrs, move the cuticle and, if necessary, trim it with special nippers. It is recommended to clean the cuticle on nails pre-steamed in a warm bath. If you want to cut them, do it before steaming. This procedure takes place at home, but one should not forget about hygiene and the use of antiseptics when cleaning tools.

So, the nails are ready. The easiest way to get an animalistic leopard print is to use stickers or sliders. For this you need:

• Choose on which or on which nails the animal stickers will be located.
• Cover your nails with a colorless or cream varnish.
• Attach sliders. Almost all of them come with instructions, so you can easily cope with everything yourself.
• After gluing, coat your nails with clear polish to fix.

A slightly more complicated technique is when you need to depict a leopard with a thin brush and ordinary varnishes. For this you should:

• Cover pre-prepared nails with cream varnish or any means in a shade of beige.
• Using a darker (for example, chocolate) varnish and a small brush, make peculiar spots on the nails, arrange them randomly. Let them be where you like the most.
• With the help of black varnish and a thin brush on the sides, you need to draw spots, but do not close them. With the help of dots, put dots on the free space of the nail.
• If desired, make an additional drawing with gold varnish.
• After the pattern has dried, cover your nails with a fixing varnish.

This technique can be performed with both conventional varnishes and gel products. Using a similar technique, you can also draw a colored leopard - using a variety of shades.

Do not be afraid to give free rein to your imagination and make manicure as diverse and unique as possible. Interesting design will draw attention to your hands.
