How to Create Animal Print Nail Art

Animal print nail art is a bold and trendy design that can add a fun element to your manicure. It’s perfect for those who love to make a statement with their nails. This eye-catching style can be perfected with the precision of a Russian manicure, known for its meticulous cuticle work and detailed designs.

Materials Needed:

  • Base coat and top coat

  • Nail polish in beige, white, black, brown, and gold

  • Nail art brush or pen

  • Striping tape (optional)

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Prepare Your Nails: Start with a base coat to protect your nails and apply a neutral background color like beige or white. Let it dry completely.

  2. Creating Patterns: Use a fine nail art brush or nail art pen to create patterns such as leopard spots, zebra stripes, or tiger prints using black or brown polish.

    • Leopard Print: Create irregular spots with a black nail art pen, then fill some of them with a brown or gold polish.

    • Zebra Stripes: Use black polish to paint thin, wavy lines across the nail.

    • Tiger Print: Combine thin and thick black lines on an orange or gold background.

  3. Seal the Design: Finish with a top coat for durability and shine.

Tips for Perfect Animal Print Nail Art:

  • Use striping tape for cleaner lines.

  • Practice the designs on a plastic surface before applying them to your nails.

  • Allow each layer to dry thoroughly before proceeding to ensure the best results.

Time Estimate:

  • Preparation and base color: 15 minutes

  • Drawing patterns: 20-30 minutes

  • Drying and top coat: 10 minutes
