Nail Tutorial: EASY Large Cheetah Print

After scrolling through some nail posts on several blogs and Instagram pages,

I decided to recreate my own cheetah nail print.

Cheetah nail art can vary from small print (more commonly seen)

to large print. This type of large cheetah print nail caught my attention

and I decided to recreate my own.

Large Print

This tutorial will walk you three a few easy steps, ultimately acheiving the
PERFECT large cheetah print.


Before you start, you want to choose three colors.
-One color for your actual nail
-Another for your dot
-and the last color for the detail around the dot

After choosing your three colors, you might want to make sure
your nails are clean, filed, and prepped for nail polish.
Clean up your cuticles as well, removing any excess skin!

YOU MAY NOW BEGIN:

#1: Paint on your base coat for longer lasting nail polish, 
and also for a smooth canvas


#2: Apply two coats of your base color, allowing time to dry in between. Here I'm using a coral color from Essie


#3: Because the print is larger, apply larger dots. You want to
make the dots imperfect. Here as you can see, my dots vary
in size, length, and width. I'm using a lilac color from Sally Hansen


#4: Imperfectly add the details that surround the dots. This step
is what makes your overall design appear cheetah-like. After outlining your circles, you may add tiny random marks to make it more realistic.


#5: Apply top coat, allow time to dry, and you're done!


Don't limit yourself to just plain solid-colored nails. Be creative, give these nails a try! They're easy, fast, and fun, yet they look like you got them professionally done!
