Leopard print manicure is back in fashion. Particularly appropriate for the autumn-winter season 2022; in the summer they will remember its versions in bright colors. If we consider the types of “predatory” prints, leopard is perhaps the most common and classic. The trend is orange, pink, green leopard pattern on nails, as well as prints in traditional colors. Leopard spots on the tips of the nails and in the area of the hole look equally relevant.
Leopard manicure for short nails
Despite some dramatic beginnings in this design, the leopard pattern can look quite organic on short plates. It is especially relevant in a matte version, however, it is also quite good in a glossy version.
- For example, highlight the lunar space of 2-4 nails with a leopard print, paint the remaining plates with a color to match from the fashionable palette of the season.
- You can choose a stamping technique, a freehand design, or add geometry.
- And also transparent plates with leo print look very trendy.
What colors are relevant?
Many people believe that leopard print manicure is an option exclusively in brown shades of varnish. However, in modern times, this concept is already quite outdated and manicures of this format can be done in various colors.
Leopard print manicure 2022 is a multi-colored attractive speck that emphasizes the individuality of each girl.
For everyday use and for work style, it is better to use delicate light shades in a nude style. Options of milky white, light gray, beige, pervik color, pastel pink, etc. will look very beautiful. If you want to attract attention, then brighter colors will look more attractive.
Very beautiful in combinations and with black frames of spots are different shades of purple and red. Mint manicure color with leopard print is the favorite shade of many fashionistas in this and previous seasons.
And, of course, don’t forget about silver and golden shades, which will definitely make your manicure chic and shiny.
Long nails with leopard print
On long almond-shaped nails, a “predatory” manicure often looks bright. Also, the leo design can be softened, for example, with discreet pastel shades, a nude, transparent base or a matte top. To enhance the glamorous sound, you should choose golden rhinestones, gold foil, and glitter. As an option, make a French jacket with a wide smile, which all consists of a leopard print.
Short marigolds
It can be difficult for young ladies with short nails to decide on the choice of design, because multi-colored and voluminous compositions overload the design and simply do not fit on such a nail plate. Leopard print in such a situation will be the ideal way out of the situation. To design a manicure, you can use not only pastel shades. Deep dark or rich bright colors look simply great in this design.
Green leopard manicure
Ideas for leopard print manicure in green tones will be no less relevant. Emerald, salad, pine, olive versions of this design are, in general, familiar. The leopard looks unexpected in combination with mint and pistachio plates. Add gold and sparkling shimmer to the emerald version for a fantastic effect. However, neon green color is perfectly compatible with leopard, for example, on only one nail.
Combined design
An interesting combination of modern design ideas in one manicure has recently become increasingly common on the nails of modern fashionistas. And believe me, leopard print can be played out in a very original way in this version. The drawings look wonderful in company with the spider web gel, elegantly complement the pearlescent rub, and are stunningly combined with other images, rhinestones, beads and other decorative elements.
Pink leopard manicure
And we immediately imagine the contrast of black specks with fuchsia plates - a legitimate combination. But there are other, softer options, where the leo print is in light pink shades on a darker pink base. Different hand designs will look great - leopard plus plain. Or it could be black and pink spots on a white, gray, beige background, in contrast with plain plates or in a gradient style.
Minimalism
Decorating nails in a minimalist style will appeal to modest people who prefer restraint and laconicism in creating an image. Nail experts advise decorating only part of the nail with leopard print this season. It is better to place the drawings in the root zone or at the tip of the nail plate. Beige, pink or blue as a base looks very stylish. Printed areas can be further highlighted with shiny lines.
Red manicure with leopard print
Classics of the genre. Add a little gold to the design - foil, rhinestones, sparkles. Add red polish to a design with leopard spots on a white background. The juxtaposition of the red coating on the index fingers and the “predatory” pattern in green-brown tones on the other plates is interesting.
Traditional methods of treating damaged plates
Drug treatment is not always possible. In this case, the injured plate should be treated with traditional methods. We bring to your attention several effective ways. Mix yarrow and plantain leaves in equal proportions, add a small amount of boiling water. Leave to infuse for at least 100 minutes. Transfer the resulting pulp into gauze and apply to the damaged area. Apply this compress several times a day, at least twice. A leopard print manicure will look divine on healthy nails. To improve their appearance after an injury, prepare a thick mass of water and bodyaga powder. Place it on your finger and wait until it dries completely. Do the following baths in the morning/evening. Prepare a glass of water, 10 grams of soda/salt. Mix everything. At the end of the procedure, treat the plates with iodine and peroxide.
Black leopard print on nails
It will be luxuriously shaded with nude, colored translucent bases, matte top and foil. Contrasting yellow, orange or classic red will also add variety. Add a black leopard pattern to a fancy jacket. For example, only light brown is the refined color of a smile.
Execution technique
You can make your nails attractive yourself at home. To do this you will need special tools and some free time. Leopard print manicure with gel polish is easy to do. You should prepare the nail plates well: remove the gloss, apply a degreaser.
First of all, you will need a base for gel polish. It will help level the nail plate. After this, a thin layer of background tone is applied. Then the nails are dried in a lamp. The operation must be repeated.
Paint spots with a thin brush and dry again. Afterwards, painting is done with black gel polish. At the final stage, the finished leo print is covered with a top coat.
Orange leopard print on nails
An unexpected bright nail solution. It’s worth adding provocation here. For example, a combination of a black predatory print with an ombre effect, where orange reaches fiery. Or you can soften it to the delicate color of withered foliage. And the orange coating with the addition of green leaves and brown spots is already a summer, exotic option.
Manicure “different hands” with leopard print
Surprisingly, the variability of this design is great. That's why we so readily recall nail designs in the “different hands” style. How do you like the idea of shades of blue, green or brown, so fashionable in 2022, contrasting with leopard? Very impressive, by the way. Or make a leo pattern on two plates and cover the rest of your nails with one contrasting shade.
Leopard print jacket and hole nail design
Don't be afraid of predatory prints and bright colors in the hole area and on the tips of your nails. By the way, on long nails the jacket can be transparent and the base can have a leopard pattern. Example in the photo.
Basic tools for creating a manicure
Before you start painting the much-coveted leopard spots on your nails, you need to prepare in advance all the necessary tools that will be needed in the process.
Lucky
The first is a set of varnishes. You need to immediately decide which color will become the base, and which color the spots themselves will be. Making leopard print nails that are closer to the classics by choosing brown tones, or choosing contrasting tones is a matter of personal preference. A white base looks good - absolutely all colors go with it, and the spots do not have to be the same color: it will be original if you make them different and bright. Besides them, a leopard is unthinkable without black varnish.
Thin brush, needle, toothpick or special manicure pen
A large set is available to choose from, depending on what is more convenient to work with. All of them are required for one purpose - to draw spots and frame them in black. In this regard, a manicure pen is one of the most convenient tools; you can buy it in any specialized place, but even with improvised means, leopard nails will turn out no worse.
Combination of animal prints in manicure
You can combine leopard with tiger, zebra, giraffe, even with a cow print on your hands. And play up the design with bright and neutral colors, different styles, techniques and decor. A bold manicure will undoubtedly become the main character of your look.
