Tiger manicure ideas
Tiger design is not only classic or fancy two-color. A plain base can be replaced with a gradient. For a smooth and beautiful transition, coating colors that are similar in tone are selected. At the base of the nail the color should be light, and towards the end it can become more saturated. A tiger print is drawn across the dry coating.
This design can be used in French manicure. The protruding edge of the nail is painted with tiger coloring. For the main background, you can choose transparent, beige, nude or other soft colors. But you can choose any shade of the smile itself.
A painted animal eye on one of the nails will make tiger nails as predatory and mysterious as possible. But to depict it will require certain artistic abilities.
Tiger French
You can make this design based on a classic French manicure. To do this, black or dark gray stripes are drawn over the white smile.

Eye of the Tiger
Drawing a tiger's eye is much easier than drawing a whole image of the animal. For such a manicure, you can use gel polish with a “cat’s eye” effect. This shellac will make the tiger's eye even more piercing and interesting.
Gradient orange and white base. The print is applied only to the orange coating. A tiger's eye is painted on one of the nails.

Very often, stripes are depicted in tandem with leopard spots.
Mirror metallic

Image design options
The Year of the Blue Tiger is under the auspices of a graceful and dangerous animal from the cat family. This brave and sensible predator does not accept indecision and cowardice. The tiger prefers to live in harmony and tranquility.

Manicurists will allow you to embody the image of a tiger in its various manifestations on your nail plates. The animal can be depicted either completely or separately - its face. In some cases, craftsmen apply a tiger pattern in combination with a leopard pattern.

The stripes don't have to be the same colors as nature intended. Instead, a stylish manicure 2022 can be full of different shades of the palette. And the images of cartoon characters will also look very cute.
The tiger can be captured in both a calm and frightening form. The fulfillment of desires on a magical night depends on the choice of the predator’s mood. Therefore, you should think about which manicure is best for the winter.

- transparent base;
- black varnish liner (with a thin brush);
- yellow or orange nail polish (but you can try any other color you like).
