Pink Leopard Print Accent Nail

By now you may have noticed that I love rocking a good accent nail. I've been really craving another leopard print look (check out one of my other leopard print nail looks here) but since it's been so long since I've done it, I was a little nervous to go full steam ahead on all of my nails. The leopard print accent nail was a perfect way for me to reacquaint myself with the technique.

The good news is that it's even easier to do leopard print nails than I remember it being!

There is no bad news. Isn't that awesome?

Here's the really simple step-by-step. You'll just need a few polishes and a toothpick.

1. Start off by painting all of your nails pink, except for your two ring fingers.
2. Paint your ring fingers white.

.  you can't just ask nails why they're white  .

3. Once your nails are totally dry, go in with your pink polish on your ring finger and make a handful of dots around the nail. Make sure to leave plenty of space around each pink spot.

4. Again, let that totally dry. Patience, ladies. Put a couple of drops of your black polish onto a little piece of scrap paper. Dip your toothpick into the black polish and use it to trail some polish in bracket ( ) and C shapes around each of your pink dots.

Technique Tip: It's best not to drag the toothpick along the nail, but rather to leave the tip of the toothpick just slightly above your nail and trail the polish along that way. It makes for a smoother-looking line and doesn't scratch up the polish beneath it.

Add in some random black dots in the empty areas.

After some clean-up, you should be left with something that looks like thissss:

.  rarrrrrr  .

And that makes me happy.

Just like the polka dot accent nail I did last week, this leopard print can be done in endless color combinations. What's your fav combo?
