Mani-Monday: Rainbow Leopard

A few days ago I decided to treat myself to a little shopping spree. And that spree came out to buying 11 new nail polishes (I posted a picture on my Instagram. Follow thatbeautysecret)! I am one HAPPY girl right now…

 

 

When I buy something new, I am the kind of person that likes to wear it or try it right away. So after getting all those colorful new colors I just had to create something that used most of the colors. And this colorful rainbow leopard print nail design was created. It is so fun and summery. I used a lot of different colors, however, you do not have to use as many. You can use 1, 2, 3, or however many as you would like. To get this look:

 

You will need:

Base coat

White nail polish

Light green nail polish

Dark green nail polish

Purple nail polish

Blue nail polish

Pink nail polish

Orange nail polish

Yellow nail polish

Toothpick or dotting tool

Top coat

 

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 nails to dry.

 

Step 2: Next, using a toothpick or dotting tool, dip it in each color and create the leopard pattern. I used ‘Yellow Umbrella’ by Sephora, ‘Myrtille’ by Sephora, ‘Picnic in the Park’ by Sephora, ‘Domestic Goddess’ by Sephora by OPI, ‘Caliente Coral’ by Sephora by OPI, ‘It’s Totally Karma’ by Sephora by OPI, and ‘I’m Wired’ by Sephora by OPI. 

 

Step 3: Then, Lastly, apply a top coat and voila! Your fun and colorful leopard nails are done.

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.

Mani-Monday: Tropical Flowers

 

The weather has been getting warmer and warmer and I wanted to create some fun and tropical nails. These nails just make me think of Hawaii and the beach. Oh how much I wish I could be lying on the beach on some island right now. Well I unfortunately cannot be there but my nails will bring that tropical feel for me. I used a lot of different colored nail polishes but you can use only two different colors or use as many or as little as you desire. To get this look:

 

You will need:

Base coat

White nail polish

Green nail polish

Yellow nail polish

Purple nail polish

Pink nail polish

Blue nail polish

Orange nail polish

Black acrylic

Striping brush or toothpick

Top coat

 

Step 1: First, apply your base coat. Then apply 1-2 coats of your white polish. I used ‘White Hot’ by Sephora by OPI.

 

Step 2: Next, using your green nail polish, I used ‘Twiggie’ by Color Club, yellow nail polish, I used ‘Yellow Umbrella’ by Sephora, purple polish, I used ‘Jo’mina’ by Illamasqua, pink nail polish, I used ‘Venom’ by Duri, blue nail polish, I used ‘Calypso Blue’ by Sally Hansen, and orange nail polish, I used ‘Orange Fix’ by Maybelline, paint on the flowers on each of your nails like in the picture above. Wait a few minutes for your nails to dry a bit before you start applying the black lines. 

 

Step 3: Then, using your striping brush or toothpick, dip it in the black acrylic and draw on the lines starting from the center of the flower. Then draw on the three dots near the tops of the lines. Wait about 15 minutes for your nails to dry.

 

Step 4: Lastly, using a generous amount, apply a top coat and you’re done! Have fun with those tropical nails and go show them off.

Mani-Monday: Pastel Spring

I love the look of each nail having a different design on it. This style has become quite popular. I put together some Spring colors and created this nail look. It took some time to create but the end result was all worth it.

Base coat

White nail polish

Mint green nail polish

Light pink/coral nail polish

Light purple nail polish

Silver striping tape

Top coat

 

Step 1: First, apply your base coat. Then apply 1-2 coats of your white polish. I used ‘White Hot’ by Sephora by OPI.

 

Step 2: Next, using your mint green nail polish, I used ‘Mint Mist’ by Maybelline, light pink/coral nail polish, I used ‘Van D’Go’ by Essie, and light purple polish, I used ‘Lilacism’ by Essie, paint on a section of each color on each of your nails. Let your nails dry completely.

 

Step 3: Then, using your striping tape in silver, apply it on the areas where each color meets.

 

Step 4: Lastly, apply a top coat and VOILA, a fun springy nail look.

Mani-Monday: Marbled and Sparkled

 

Once again it’s time for Mani-Monday. I loved my nails this time around. I used the plastic wrap technique. Click here for the tutorial on how to achieve this look. I first applied a white polish as a base and then I used three different colors on each nail with the plastic wrap. I used a pink, blue, and purple polish. I like the interesting and marble effect it created. Then, on my ring finger I applied a white polish and let it dry completely and then applied KISS Classic Nail Dress in ‘Peignoir’. This nail design was quick and simple. And I LOVED IT!
