Leopard Nail Art Tutorial
Difficulty - Intermediate
Leopard nail art is fun, easy and versatile. You can do a shimmery gold leopard print, a funky neon color combo or go for soft and pretty with pastels. It's a relatively quick and easy look to achieve, and the finished product is so damn cute.

Tips & Tricks
- Don't stress about it being perfect. In the wild the patterns aren't perfect! If you have a jagged edge or funny shaped blob, it will look totally legit!
- For this tutorial I used a thin brush, but a nail art pen would work as well.
- If you hate freehand painting, Konad's M57 stamp has an adorable leopard print image. Here's an example of that look. A little different than the freehand leopard nail art, but still very fun. The stamping tutorial will walk you through the steps to getting that look.
- Don't worry if it looks a little "bumpy" when you're painting on the "c" shapes, a couple coats of top coat will sort that right out!
