And that's it!! See?? So fast and simple! If you want you can use a finishing coat. I prefer not to since it might flatten the design.

I think pink would look great and you can replace the pink dots for purple ones, or yellow...i think I would use the same colors I used for the dots, and replace that dot for another color :) you could try on one nail if you like it or try it on a paper, that's what i always do 😊

I've read about this everywhere and because i'm obsessed with both leopard print and nail art i've been wanting to do this since the first time I read about it but I couldn't because everybody explained so weird like it was complicated but for the first time I really understood and now i'm definetely doing this tonight! Thank you so much! 😊
