…Lovely Leopard? This season we are feeling on-trend with our rad plaid, modern maxis, and lepo print nails, and we think it is only appropriate that we share our style secrets with all of you style stars. Trends can be hard to follow and you do not want to over do it—a true style star knows how to incorporate the right amount of current accent pieces into her wardrobe (hint: leopard is cool, but in small doses). So, grab your notepad, berrys, and ipads and let’s DIY our nails with a little ol’ leopard.
1. Supplies: you will need printed nail strips of your choice—these strips are actually made of real polish and super easy to apply. We recommend using Salon Effects by Sally Hansen.
2. Polish: Select a color combo that works well with your printed nail strips. We applied Black Satin by Chanel but also recommend Black Onyx by OPI or Graphite by Chanel for a Halloween-y look…
3. Prep: Apply Nailtiques (formula 1) nail treatment.
4. Color Option: After you have selected your color combo paint all of your nails and apply a topcoat of your choice.
5. Feline Chic Fingies:
- Let nails dry.
- Peel off the white paper and carefully place the strip over your nail polish…we recommend one nail per hand—the leopard could be too much if used excessively.
- Peel off the clear cover and file your nail to the length of your liking.
6. Seal the Deal: Apply a clear coat of your choice and enjoy your feline chic nails!
Ta-Dah. In just minutes you have transformed your fingies from drab to fab!! We hope you enjoyed this edition of DIY fun with team Style Etoile.
