Grey & Turquoise Leopard Print Mani

I was awfully slow to jump on the leopard print manicure bandwagon, but now that I have - I never want to get off it! They're so easy and really eye-catching. I got a ton of compliments when I wore the one I'm showing you today.

I started with two coats of Rimmel London Grey Matter. It's a medium grey - a true grey, with no hint of beige or anything like that. It's really clean and fresh-looking, and it looks great on its own, too. I then randomly blobbed on China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise, a neon turquoise with a gorgeous shimmer (FYI: it's more green-toned than it appears in my photos). It's soooo pretty! Finally, I used my trusty black Models Own Wah Nail Art Pen to draw round the blobs, and covered with a top coat. I really like how this turned out, particularly the contrast between the grey and the neon.

To see my previous leopard/cheetah print manicures, you can find them here and here.

Have you jumped on the leopard manicure bandwagon? If not, why not?!

  1. Hey those colors are amazing together! I've never tried to freehand a leopard print, but what I usually do is stamp it over a bright base :) If I'm on the mood for it I fill some of the gaps with another color and the dotting tool and... voilà! Leopard can be so girly..!

    1. Your way sounds so much better and easier than mine! I'd love to stamp leopard print, but I'm rubbish at stamping! XD

  2. This looks great! The only time I have tried it has been with konad but it looks like something I could do freehand.
