Leopard Print Nails

I've been wanting to try this leopard nail pattern for a few months, but didn't want to buy a bunch of nail art polishes etc. So I bought a nail art double ended brush/dotter. This tool can be used with any polishes you already own. Just dab some onto a piece of paper and dip the tool into it and vioala! Any polish can be used for nail art.

I used a gold base with a custom made brown (mixed together some dark brown with the gold to get a medium brown color). Both colors from Sephora. Then finished with a black (OPI).

It was easier than I thought it would be to do, you don't have to be perfect, in fact imperfect and random is the goal. Hope this inspires you!
