Snake Skin Nail Art Tutorial

Day 13 of 31 day challenge: Animal Print

 

For today challenge i wanted to try something different from the usual leopard or zebra print .

So i thought i would give a snake print a try.

This is the first attempt so let see how it goes...

 

For this tutorial you will need:

-Top and base nail varnish

- Base colour nail varnish

- Contrast colour nail varnish

- Make up/ cosmetic sponge

- Netting

 

 

First off undercoat your nails with your base nail varnish.

 

Once dry apply your base colour

I am using Barry M spring green.

 

 

Take your netting and wrap it tightly over your nail.

Paint on the contrast nail varnish on to the sponge.

Lightly dab over the top of the netting.

I am using Barry m Gold instant effect.

 

Allow to dry for a couple of seconds and remove the netting.

This will give you a textured look like scales.

 

I think i should have used netting with larger wholes.

 

Finish with a top coat to give it a slimy snake skin like look.

 

I will purchase some larger netting and give it another go.

Look out for my post coming soon.
