 Silver Leopard Nails...2 Looks!

 These nail looks turned out so cute! And it's actually really easy to do...Seriously! Here are the products that I used and step by step directions on how I did it...

1. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in 220 Celeb City (Target retail $2.49)

 I love Sally Hansen Nail Polish. It is the best brand that you can buy at the grocery store. This color is very metallic and looks really cute. It has the perfect amount of sparkle.
 2. Pure Ice in Jaguar (Walmart retail $1.78)

This is a great brand for a cheap nail polish. The quality isn't as great as Sally Hansen, but they do make a ton of fun colors.
 3. Sally Hansen Advanced Hard as Nails in Clear (Target retail $2.99)

This is a great top coat or it can be used alone as a nail strengthener. Again I love anything Sally Hansen. Great Value!


4. Migi Nail Art Pen in Black (miginailart.com retail $24.99-8 pack)

 These nail art pens are really awesome. You can make any design with them. You can also unscrew the lid and it has a nail polish brush as well. You can get so many different colors online. They are really fun and totally worth buying. You can also register them online and they will refill the color for free when it runs out.

Supplies

 

Step by Step Directions

1. Start with clean unpolished nails. I glued on fake unpolished nails.

2. Paint silver on all nails. May need 2-3 coats. Then make sure they are dried before moving onto the next step.

3. Paint little gold blobs on your ring finger or on all of your nails depending on which look your are going for. Paint them like polka dots, but it looks more realistic if they aren't perfect circles. Then wait for them to dry before moving onto the next step.

4. Use your black migi nail art pen or black nail polish and a toothpick to paint little "C" shapes around the blobs.  This also looks better when it is not done perfectly. For some of the blobs I use 2 "C's" and some I use 3 "Cs". Repeat this step to all of the gold blobs. 

5. After all of the blobs are finished, I add a few squiggly lines that look like commas and some dots. Do this to all of your nails or just the ring finger depending on the look that you chose. Then wait for them to dry before moving onto the next step.

 6. Paint clear top coat on all of your nails.

  7. If there is any nail polish on your skin, just clean it up with a little bit of nail polish remover and Qtip or orangewood stick.

Now you have really cute nails! Why not paint your toes to match? I hope you have tons of fun experimenting with different nail looks!

For The Love Of Nail Polish

 I love trying different nail polishes! It's such a fun way to change your look.  You can
pick any color to match your mood or style. I have tried a ton of different brands. Today I am showing you 3 colors.

1. Orly Nail Lacquer in Gum Drop ( Sally Beauty Supply retail $6.99)


I love this color! I'm not normally a blue or green nail polish fan, but something about this color is just so cute. This is the first time that I have tried the Orly brand. It is absolutely my new favorite brand. It goes on great and lasts forever without chipping.









2. Nicole by OPI in My Favorite Gold (TJ Maxx retial $6.00-2 pack)


This is a more of a yellow gold than a copper gold. I have now used the Nicole by OPI nail polish a few different times in different colors. I'm not a huge fan of this brand. I think it's a bit over priced for the quality.

3. Nailtini Nail Polish in Millionaire (I got this in my IPSY Glam bag retail $13.00)

This is a gold glitter polish with blue specks. This is a great quality glitter polish. I like the way that it goes on very evenly. And it really sparkles in the light!
