Back to School Rainbow Cheetah Nails


Happy Labor Day Weekend! I will be showing you guys how to achieve a Cheetah design with rainbow spots. I hope you guys enjoy this! This is great look if your heading back to school and would like your hands to stand out :)





You will need a rainbow of colors for the spots

These are the 3 shapes I  created with a permanent marker for the Cheetah look.
Top Left: Sideway smiley face or a 'C' with 2 vertical dots
Top Right: Eye shape or open almond
Bottom Left: Open backward letter 'C'


 Fill in the space of each Cheetah spot with a color - I used highlighters for this larger demonstration.


Start with a white base coat. This is "White on White" by China Glaze.




Use a permanent marker to draw "smiley faces", open almonds, and "C's"



Fill in the open spaces with a colored polish


You should end up with something like this






Can you tell that I used a topcoat here? XD



 OPTIONAL


Add Glitter!!


It's difficult to photograph the effect of glitter-it doesn't photo as clean but adds tons of sparkle in person

Thanks for looking!!

    1. Thank you, Becky! I'm glad this post has helped & inspired you to give it another try :D

      I've tried it before with a thin black brush nail polish and it was a mess! Haha. Permanent markers come in handy ;)

      I hope it turns out great!
