Don’t forget Ulta is having a Butter London BOGO sale (online & in-store today ONLY 9/10)~ I’m excited to swatch! I got all the ones I wanted plus a flakie Essence—TOP LEFT (clockwise): Wallis, Trustafarian, Gorgeous Bling Bling, Victoriana, and No More Waity, Katie 😊 (Taken with Instagram)

LEOPARD TUTORIAL

You Will Need:  Three colors (one preferably black) and a dotting tool (or you can you a blunt toothpick, round ended needle or brush)

1. Paint your base color with Color 1.
   
   
2. Use Color 2 to paint random blobs over each nail. It doesn’t have to be perfect; I used the nail polish brush for these blobs!
   
   
3. Using your tool of choice, use Color 3 (preferably black) to dot blobby lines (sorta caterpillar-like) around one side of the Color 2 blobs in the shape of the letter ‘c’ or ‘u’.
   
   
4. Complete the other side of the Color 2 blobs with a dot or more blobby lines!
   
   
5. Fill in the empty spaces with dots between the leopard.
   
   
6. Top off with topcoat~

Cult Nails Toxic Seaweed ($10.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.)

This is a beautiful emerald green jelly loaded with green glitter and flakies that shift orange and green! I love the bottle shape, and this applies/dries wonderfully~

Color Mates Paparazzi (3/$2.00 for 0.47 fl. oz.)

What a steal right! I saw a three pack of these Color Mates polishes for only $2 at Big Lots. This one was what I was most excited about. It’s a pretty magenta jelly sparsely filled with holo and iridescent glitter. One coat was only necessary, but I used two for full coverage. It is seriously SO pretty…it reflects blue, green and so many other colors! 

The only downside of this is that it is extremely gritty…so you’ll need an excellent top coat.

Color Club Sparkle and Soar ($8.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.)

This beautiful polish is unlike any in my collection! Sparkle and Soar is a part of Color Club’s Summer 2012 Take Wing collection and is a orange polish with major glass flecks that reflect gold. I don’t have many oranges, but this one quite special~ 

It’s got great application and dry time, and takes about two coats
