Once the rainbow has dried, it's time to give your leopard her spots. We've already shown you how our Global Editor Connie gets her animal print on, but Fleury's got her own tricks: She used a black nail art pen to draw on spots at random across the nail. She says the easiest way to master animal prints is to pull up an image of leopard spots and have that in front of you for reference as you mimic the pattern. They're basically just disconnected U-shapes, arranged in a circle, with some dots thrown in for variety. Looks complicated, but they're easy peasy! Finish by applying a few coats of your glitter top coat to add some sparkle and seal everything in place.
