Mani-Monday: Wild Neon

It’s Monday again, which means it’s time for another nail look! This time our wild side is coming out with these nails…RAWR! Who doesn’t love zebra and leopard print nails, BUT what’s better than a nail look with BOTH zebra and leopard…NOTHING! With this fun and wild print and the bright neon nail polish, your nails are sure to be a stand out. To get this look:

 

You will need:

Base coat

Pink neon nail polish

Clear sparkle nail polish

Black acrylic or nail polish

Top coat

Striping brush or toothpick

Dotting tool

 

Step 1: First, apply your base coat. Then apply two coats of your pink neon polish. I used ‘24/7’ by Sinful Colors. Then apply your clear sparkle nail polish, I used ‘XL7’ by Inglot, which has a blue sparkle to give the nails an interesting look in the light. Wait for your nails to dry a few minutes.

 

Step 2: Next, using a striping brush or toothpick, dip it in the black acrylic or nail polish and create the zebra pattern. Create the zebra pattern in a diagonal on the top and half part of the nail (as seen in the picture above). Then, using your dotting tool or toothpick, dip it in the black acrylic or nail polish and create the leopard print in the empty space between the zebra print. Wait a few minutes for your nails to dry, so that the black will not spread when applying the top coat.

 

Step 3: Lastly, apply a generous amount of top coat and you’re done! Have fun with these wild nails and go show them off.

Mani-Monday: Zebra with a pop

I wanted to create a zebra print nail look with a different take on it. So I decided to add a pop of color. I love the end results! You can recreate this look with many different colors, which makes it so much more fun. You can experiment with any color you would like. To get this look: 

 

You will need:

Base coat

White nail polish

Purple nail polish

Black acrylic or nail polish

Top coat

Striping brush or toothpick

Makeup sponge

 

Step 1: First, apply your base coat. Then apply two coats of your white polish. I used ‘White Hot’ by Sephora by OPI. Wait a few minutes for your nail polish to dry before doing the sponging.

 

Step 2: Next, using makeup sponge (you can cut off a small piece of the sponge to use), dip it into your purple nail polish, I used ‘Jo’mina’ by Illamasqua, and sponge it onto your nail in a few places.

 

Step 3: Then, using a striping brush or toothpick, dip it in the black acrylic or nail polish and create the zebra pattern. Wait for about 15 minutes for your nails to dry before applying the top coat. 

 

Step 4: Lastly, apply a generous amount of top coat and you’re done! This nail look has great versatility, so change up the colors and have fun with it.
