TIP: Make sure to dry thoroughly between each coat :]

This is my first time doing a design freehand.. You can’t tell by the camera zoom but my hand was literally shaking while doing the leopard designs… haha :D

Stamping is my jam and I will *never* let it go. Freehand designs won’t happen as often as stamping because I’m not confident in my skills, but I really hope you like this look! ❤

❤ Materials:
Revlon Minted (Mint)
Sally Hansen Iced Coffee (Tan)
Julep Jane (Copper glitter)
Julep Ginger (Shimmery brown)
Dotting Tool (I found mine on Ebay!)
CND Stickey Base Coat
Seche Vite Topcoat
Milani Nail Art Nail Lacquer, Black Sketch 703

TIP: Make sure to dry thoroughly between each coat :]

TIP: If you don’t have stamping plates, use a dotting tool or toothpick to make four leaf clovers. Apply 4 dots in a square shape and you’re done! :D No fancy equipment needed. For the plaid print, use a fine brush dipped in polish or a nail art polish equipped with a striping brush.

Materials:
Sinful Colors Snow Me White
Konad White Stamping Polish
NYC High Line Green
Sally Hansen Green With Envy
Zoya Shawn
CND Stickey Base Coat
Seche Vite Topcoat
Zoya Remove
Synthetic Brush
Konad Stamper & Scraper Set (find on Ebay or Amazon)
