Vibrant Peach and Leopard Spots || Perfect for Summer! 


>> Supplies Used >>

Nail basic supply loves here
Peach - China Glaze Flip Fop Fantasy (bought at Ulta) This color is so beautiful for Spring or Summer; it is a vibrant peach, I think it would look perfect on any skin tone.
White - Color Club Mod in Manhattan (came in my Birchbox last year) I really like this color, it's not pure white, it's a creamy off white, goes great with the peach.
Black Striper - L.A. Colors Art Deco in Black (bought at DollarTree, with the popularity of nail art, you can buy them anywhere) what's not to love about black.

Step Two:
Add your spots -
Different sizes works best, don't worry about
them being perfect circles. I just used the brush in
polish, lightly touching my nail to create the
spot I wanted.

Step Three:
Using a Striper brush (striper polish is just polish where
the brush is super long and thin).

Step Three Continued:
Add lines around the circles.
Add a few smaller lines without a circle color.
Don't worry about being steady or perfect,
this is what makes it look more real.

Let it dry.
Add top coat and clean up the edges.
