Just for Fun Fridays: How to…Get Cheetah Print Nails

Hey girls! Since we’re heading into the weekend (and starting to ease into the season of spring breaks at colleges) I thought it’d be fun to do a quick tutorial on a fun nail trend: cheetah print! Now, I personally don’t tend to wear nail polish on a daily basis, however this is such a fun look for a party or a night out. The best part is, it looks way harder to achieve than it is! Spend a few minutes this afternoon and you’ll be ready to prowl tonight.
What you need…
♥ Gold nail polish
♥ Black nail polish
♥ Bronze or brown nail polish
♥ Clear top coat polish
♥ A thin paintbrush (from a craft store/dollar store/WalMart), dotting tool (from a beauty supply store), or toothpick
♥ A piece of scrap paper
Directions…
1.  Start by applying two coats of the gold polish to your nails as a base, and allow to dry.
2. While the gold is drying, you can practice your cheetah spots on the scrap paper. Pour a little of the black and bronze polishes onto the paper and dip your brush or toothpick in. Start with the bronze, make a small dot. Then, take the black and add a semi-circle to the edge of the bronze dot.
3. You may have to use two brushes/toothpicks, or else clean off the brush in between colours with warm water and a paper towel.
4. Once the gold polish is dry, add your spots using the directions in step 2.
5. Once the spots are dry, finish with a clear top coat to make the design last all night.
There you go! Cheetah-liscious nails that look like they took hours, but only took a few minutes. For fun, try mixing up the colours: Instead of a gold-bronze-black combo, try metallic pink-white-purple or silver-white-black, whatever you like! Have a happy weekend and enjoy your ferocious new nails…something every college girl should know.

How to…Get Zebra Print Nails

Here at Every College Girl, one of our most popular posts of all time is our tutorial on how to get cheetah print nails. I love the look; it’s so simple and fun, and animal prints are getting hot again. To follow along the same vein, I decided to do a similar animal print nail tutorial. This time: zebra or tiger stripes!

 

What You Need…

 

• White nail polish
• Black nail polish
• Clear top coat nail polish
• Thin paintbrush (from craft/dollar store), dotting tool (from beauty supply store), or toothpick
• Nail polish remover
• Q-tip

Directions…

1. Start by applying the top coat. This will help the white polish from looking streaky.
2. Now, apply 2-3 coats of the white polish. This can be kind of tedious, as you wait for each coat to dry, but it’s the best way to get a crisp white base for your nails.
3. Now’s the fun part. If you’re using a paintbrush, wet it with water before dipping it in the black paint to make a thin point. Start your zebra pattern. I find it helps to have a basic image of zebra print in front of you as you do it. Use short strokes and gradually build up the stripes. If you need to, practise on a piece of scrap paper first.
4. Once the stripes are dry, carefully add one more layer of top coat.
5. To finish, dip the Q-tip in the nail polish remover and clean up the edges of your fingertips to remove any smeared polish.

Mix It Up…

I love this look with different colour combinations. The photo above (credit) uses hot pink as the base (which wouldn’t require the first step, and less coats in step 2). For a tiger look, simply switch to an orange or gold base. It also looks good with a silver base, or with a white base and cream stripes, so the pattern is barely noticeable. If you get really good at it, try applying the zebra stripes to only your french tips! The possibilities are endless.
