Konad Addict: Step by step gradient leopard mani

Step by step gradient leopard mani

Hi,

Today I'll show you an animal print gradient manicure and the tutorial.

Here's the final look:

I started with two coats of piCture pOlish - Marine and over it I applied Jolfin - Blanc

diagonal, using a sponge. After I applied Zoya - Malia using the same technique.

Then I applied Deborah Lippmann - Today was a fairytale, which fits the design perfectly.

I stamped the leopard design from Konad m57 image plate using Konad Special Black.

I finished with a clear top coat. You can see the final result in the first pictures.

What do you think?
