🐯 EASY ANIMAL PRINT _ NAIL ART TUTORIAL _ Gel Polish Design _ Leopard Zebra Snake Tortoise Shell +

Hello , gang .

Hello , friends .

Hello , gang friends .

Welcome back .

Thank you so much for joining me today .

I hope this video finds you well , if you're new .

Well , hello .

My name is Joe , and I do nail stuff .

She does stuff , nail stuff and stuff .

She does nails and nail stuff and stuff and nails .

I hope everybody is doing really well .

I'm going to start today's video with Alaska , which is a with Alaska , um , which is a gel perfection polish , as are all the polishes used in this video .

And you can get them at diamond glitters dot co dot U And you can use code team DG for a little discount to things .

So I've done two coats of that , and I'm now taking black out .

Um , and we're starting with zebra print .

This is , um , with animal print .

You kind of want to pick out the most , Uh , what's the word ?

Like the most apparent factors to make people realise that it's not just a bunch of oily lines on a nail .

So with zebras , they've got kind of Ys and vs .

That's what I'm calling them .

So I'm using my brush , but I'm not , um doing the same amount of pressure for the line .

I'm letting it , um , pull along and then put a bit more pressure down .

So it's thicker in some parts and then thinner in other parts just for that kind of organic real zebra .

Look , uh , is that what we achieve ?

I don't know , but lots of , um , vs and Ys in wiggly , not even size thickness lines .

Why am I trying to describe this so much ?

You can see um , and then and then in between them , I'll do some other lines .

I think I got a bit carried away .

Uh , it's easy for me to think .

Oh , I'll just fill that gap gap in there .

And then there's another gap .

So I'll fill that one in , so you can sort of leave it a bit more sparse than I did .

But I then decided to go in and add some thinner lines .

I'm not sure if it made it better .

Uh , but it made it made it like this .

Um , and then we will cure that , um , and that will go in the lamp .

So yeah , just the I started , like with the big Y and then a V and then just little ones all around it in some random .

But don't Don't let any of the lines be dead straight .

Make sure they all have a bit of a wiggle in them .

Um , and it helps a couple of these .

Actually , I kind of purposefully sort of tensely shook my hand like a small shaking of the hand , but controlled , um , to get a kind of wiggly look .

Or did I just have the shakes ?

I don't know .

I'm quite a shaky , shaky person .

I'm sorry if you if you can hear any jangling it's , uh it's my ring .

One of my rings has got a little charm on it .

Uh , and I'm over here gesticulating like a Parisian mime .

Why are they Parisian ?

I don't know .

Uh , they originated in Greece , I think .

Anyway , mimes no nails .

So I can I cured the black .

Uh , and now I'm topping it with diamond gloss .

Of course .

Of course .

And there's our little zebra zebra .

How do you say it ?

Let me know how you say it .

We say zebra over here .

Um but I know some places say zebra zebra is the correct way .

I'm kidding .

Zebra is the way I say , Uh , so that's that one .

And the next one is starting with Alaska as well .

This is another one with just , um , black and white , black out and Alaska .

And this is cow print .

So I know I'm just scribbling , as you can see , Just mush mashing a patch on the nail .

I know that cow .

Um , some people do it in a more sort of cartoony , simplified way , like a kind of splat little curved and soft edges .

But I was looking at a picture of , um , a cow print rug .

Uh , I would I think I quite like a cow print rug .

Not a real one , although , you know , it's probably already dead for the meat , so may as well not let it go to waste .

Um , yes , and it was a brown one .

I really like the brown looking ones .

So they they weren't sort of smooth , splat looking patches .

They were quite jaggedy , um , around the edges .

So just letting my brush sort of splatter , uh , and press it and wiggle it a bit on the nail gives us a kind of organic not , uh , perfectly drawn look .

And then it has lots of little patches .

So I'm going to add some of those .

Um , but yeah .

Most most cot nails I've seen are the more sort of rounded , um , splat shapes with some circles and things .

But I wanted to go for the more , um , cow print rug kind of vibe .

Um , I hope I haven't offended anyone by saying I want a cow print rug .

Not a real one , but I think it would look quite nice in , like , a lofty kind of , you know , exposed brick nails , right ?

Nails .

Uh , I'm adding some more dots and then a few times , I I've cut this a bit because I went to put it in the lamp .

And then before I cured , I thought , No , let's have another dot and another splodge here .

And then I joined some of them up to make bigger ones .

Um , but yeah , it's really easy with animal print .

I find to see a gap , unlike my voiceovers , uh , to see a gap and think I'll fill it with something , But , um , you sort of have to stop before you get too carried away .

So that was cured .

And I'm topping that with diamond gloss as Well , we do have a lovers and haters today , so stick around for that .

Uh , that's our cow print I .

I got a bit carried away , and the gaps should have left some of them a bit bit more gap , but didn't , uh , the next 10 , white again .

Alaska again .

Oh , yes , this is Tiger print .

Uh , so I'm taking Alaska and Tiger Lily .

I haven't I've only just realised .

Tiger .

Lily ?

Yeah , Um I haven't cured the Alaska , and I'm just brushing over onto it a bit .

I'm not trying to do a perfect hombre .

Um , actually trying to avoid doing , you know , AAA .

Nice blend .

Um , so I'm just going over there because we're going to do black lines and tigers have white on them as well .

So this is kind of our hint of white , So I've got a little amount on my brush .

This is the second coat .

So I cured the first coat and then again , with not very much on my brush here , going over the tiger lily and then dry brushing .

So I've taken as much product off my brush as possible and just dry brushing over the joint and then over on to the Alaska , Um , and just giving it kind of I kind of wanted it to be a bit streaky because we're going for ease .

Just easiness .

Um , so you don't even have to do the white bit .

You could just do the whole thing orange or whatever colour you want .

Uh , that was cured .

And I'm now taking black out again .

And the sort of apparent aspects .

What's the word I'm looking for ?

There's a word anyway , of a tiger is the sort of vs .

So I'm starting with a V in the middle again , and I'm making sure that they again the thickness of the line is sort of thick , thin , thick , thin Just all over the place .

Um , but I don't want the vs to be all meeting perfectly in the middle .

I don't want them to all , um , have the point in the same place on the nail .

So I'm doing them .

That one's a bit off centre , the one above it .

It's a bit off centre the other way .

And then I've added some VS coming in from the sides .

So it's very similar to the zebra print .

Um , but we've got more of the VS as .

And it's sort of coming from the same angle on each side as opposed to , um diagonally , which is how we did it on the zebras .

So adding the vs again and just like I say , just pressing down and lifting up on the pressure again .

Quite a wiggly hand .

Quite a shaky , um , hand for this , uh , and there's a sideways V there .

I knew this was going to be hard to voice over when I was doing it , because , I , I don't really know how to describe .

I messed up that bit there , but we're going to leave it in , Uh , because I I wasn't flash curing .

So I thought , I'm not gonna start wiping stuff off and starting it .

Uh , so that will , I think be it .

Don't need to add anything else here .

I don't believe um and I think that does kind of look like a tiger print because I thought I was worried that this and the zebra one would be the same , but they are different .

This one's sort of a horizontal , um , pattern .

And the zebra is really diagonal .

Uh , so I filled it .

I made some of the points of the VA bit thicker just to fill in gaps and cured .

And now I'm topping that with diamond gloss .

And there was a great big piece of fluff .

Uh , I couldn't get it out , so I just cured that shit in there .

Um , and then pop that in the lamp .

And there is our tiger Sheahan , Uh , or Tigger , depending on what kind of mood you're in , Um , and Oh , yeah , everything goes a little bit .

The focus isn't that great in this video .

So my sincerest apologies for that , uh , I'm now taking cream satin , and we're going to do giraffe print with this one .

I want to .

I mean , I know some people do giraffes as a really yellow background , but I looked at some pictures of giraffes and they were more creamy .

Uh , so I've done two coats of that , and then I'm taking iced mocha , and I've sped this whole bit up only by 50% because otherwise we'd be here all week .

Um and I'm doing boxy shapes .

Uh , so that's the main .

What is the word I'm looking for attribute ?

Possibly .

I think maybe it's that , um is kind of boxy , boxy shapes , no round edges .

Although that bottom right of that kind of boot looking thing is a bit rounded .

Uh , and then I tried to make sure that the gaps between each one were quite similar because I noticed they were in the picture of the giraffe I was looking at anyway , um , but I'm sure other giraffes are a bit different .

Uh , so making sure that the gap is the same thickness , uh , between the shapes , and I'm just going to keep at it like that .

Uh , it was quite easy to end up doing just the same shape over and over .

So I had to kind of , you know , consciously make sure that I wasn't just doing , um , triangles or squares or something .

So make sure that you do mix it up and that none of them are the same shape .

So while we're doing that , um oh , this is iced mocha , by the way , This colour , uh , while we're doing that , shall we have an episode of of lovers and haters ?

Let's lovers and haters , lovers and haters , lovers and haters .

Uh , our first lover of the day is JL nails and therapies .

She says .

So looking forward to using all your techniques on my clients .

You've helped me with techniques .

I've always struggled .

And you're teaching me so many new ones and you make my day every time I watch you .

Thank you so much .

That's so nice .

And II , I like that amongst my verbal diarrhoea .

There are some teachable moments .

Um , so that was our first lover , our hater of the day .

I'll do another another lover , Um , in a bit , Um , our hater was a woman of very few words .

Um , and I can't remember which video it was on , but she said trash just trash .

Um , had enough time to , uh , leave a negative comment on someone's YouTube video , but not enough time to form a complete sentence .

Um , but I can't remember .

I can't remember what video was on .

Uh , but I did reply naturally , but we'll never know what , um , what she truly meant because she's been blocked .

So she can't comment anymore .

So later , uh , we will have another lover , um , in a wee bit .

So I'm just finishing up with these shapes here , Um , and then so you could very easily stop at this point or if you didn't want to spend .

This does seem to have been going on for some time .

Probably should have cut and just jumped to the last one .

But here we are .

Um , if you don't want to spend too long doing this , do your shapes bigger .

Um , and then you'll have less to do .

I should have done that , but I did not , Um what was I saying ?

Oh , yes .

So you could stop here .

Um , and I cure this .

And then I decided to try and be fancy about it .

Um , so I mixed some iced mocker with Alaska , Um , which is the white , um , And then I just took my brush and did some little little patches all to the same side , Um , to the right side of each of them .

I don't know if I like this , whether it was a good idea or not , but , um Oh , look , I jumped to the end there .

That's what I should have done earlier .

Um , but I did that on there .

Just if you wanted to take it up a notch and I don't know , make the client think that you're being all fancy pants .

Uh , but it's not necessary uh , so that was cured .

And I'm topping that with diamond gloss as well .

Every I topped everything with diamond gloss .

Some would look really nice matte , but I was in a shiny mood .

So there's our little G raff .

But I didn't You know , I didn't spend time blending out those , um , lighter bits .

As you can see , I just chuck some strokes on there and , uh , good to go .

And because it used the the the because it used the colour that was on the shapes to start with the , You know , it wasn't too much of a harsh , harsh line on there , So I'm now taking spiced amber .

How nice is this colour ?

This is an underrated colour .

I need to start using this more .

Um , I've cured that .

I've done two coats , and I'm now taking pumpkin pie , and we're just doing some splodges not perfect circles .

Drunk baby with a paintbrush circles .

That drunk baby who did those flowers that one time .

Yeah , he's back .

It's a he .

Um so we're doing some random splodges , but making sure they're not , um , perfect circles , because this is our , um , leopard print one .

And you can as I say you can do leopard print .

You can do any of these in any colours .

Um , I did a rainbow hombre multi colour leopard print set before .

Um , I'll put a link to it in the video , actually .

And I've also got another video I'll put a link to , um , I'll tell you when we get there .

So I've cured the pumpkin spice patches , the pumpkin patches .

Ah , um , and now I'm taking black out , and I'm doing this wiggly thing with my hand again .

So , like , tense your fist and then , like , let it shake like that Like I'm doing it now like a controlled firm jiggle .

You don't have to do that , but that's what I was .

That's what I was doing Just to get a kind of , um , not like an imperfect line .

Uh , and you don't want these lines to be , you know , a perfectly straight CC shape around the splodges .

You want them to be a bit wiggly and splodge .

So that's what we're going for .

We're going to do .

Some have just two bits around them .

Some are joined up more than others are .

Some are broken up bits of black , Um , and that will go around all of them And the one on the top .

Well , on the right there , um , you can see at the bottom I kind of splodge too much .

But it doesn't matter , because it's a natural thing .

So , um , it's not going to be perfect .

Uh , which is quite a nice thing about animal prints .

Um , it's not , You know , if that line's not exactly there , then it's going to look wrong like this .

If you put your black bit , um , at the top instead of on the side , it doesn't matter .

Um , so I'm going to wiggle around those and then , um , cure that .

And I , I really like these colours together to the point where I'm thinking , Should I wear them now ?

I don't know .

But then I have a different mood every day or not .

It's not so much a mood , different mood every day .

But I might not be in the mood for leopard print one day .

And I don't want that to sort of , um , display who I am for the day .

Although you know what other people think of it ?

Art is subjective , I suppose , Um , apart from , um Oh , what I'm doing here .

Um , I've cured the black and then thought , Let's fill in the gaps .

So I'm just doing some black splodges Not perfect circles .

Some more V shape , some pointy , some blobby , And then we'll cure that .

And then we'll top that with dia and gloss as well .

Um , but yeah , I don't know II .

I used to wear nail art all the time .

And I know a lot of you say I should do some nail art , and I will do some on myself at some point , but but yeah , nail art is subjective , especially when I feel in a different kind of I'll look at art differently every day .

Um , but like Tracy Emmons bed , in my opinion , not art .

I mean bar used tampon .

It was basically every teenage girl's bedroom .

Uh , she probably just chilled in bed for a week and thought , Hm .

Let's get the on some wheels and roll it down to the gallery .

Uh , but then somebody else might look at it and think , Oh , no , totally symbolises the struggle and plight of 18th century African armadillos , you know ?

No , it's just rubbish .

Tidy up your messy bitch so someone might like it ?

Someone might not .

Where was I going ?

I don't know how we got on this path .

There's a leopard print nail .

I hope you like it .

This is ramble .

I'm now taking yellow glass .

Um , which there's a few glass gel polishes with them in gel fiction .

Now I've got them all .

Um , and they're really good for this sort of thing .

I've mixed in a bit of saffron , um , to darken it up a bit to make it a bit more orange .

And I'm going to do one coat of that and cure it .

And then I'm going to take just the saffron as is , um oh , no , not what am I doing ?

Oh , the first base .

Yes .

So I'm putting this down .

It's a base coat .

Um , and I'm only doing a really thin layer because I'm going to use it as a sort of blooming gel .

Um , because if you put gel on wet gel , it does start to spread .

Uh , but I don't want it to spread like crazy .

Um , so I'm doing a thin coat of that , and then I'm taking saffron and just doing some big , messy blobs , a lot of blobs in this video , Um , on there and that .

That's it .

I have got a video doing a full set based around this tortoise shell .

Um , so I'll put a link to that in the description as well .

Um , it's not just , you know , five tortoise shell nails .

There is some kind of design thing going on .

Uh , so I'll pop a link in the description .

Um , And this And now I'm I'm taking my brush , and I haven't got anything on it here .

I'm just kind of easing , just encouraging the edges to sort of bloom a little bit more .

Um , and as you can see , it's kind of messy looking .

Um , but that's fine .

Uh , so I cured that .

And now I'm doing another very thin coat of the glass mix .

Or is it just the yellow glass ?

No , it's the mix , um , with a bit of saffron in it .

Um , and I haven't cured it .

And I'm going to use that again as a kind of blooming to give a blooming effect for the black .

Uh , so this is black out , and I'm not going bang smack in the middle of the saffron blobs .

I'm going just sort of offset , um , to them .

So they overlap it a smidge , and then I'll do the same .

Just kind of ease them out , uh , to bloom a little bit .

Um , I mean , you could use a blooming gel , but I think it might bloom too much , and it'll spread .

And just Yeah , I think this way is probably best .

So I'm where they have spread .

I'm just taking a bit more black out and darkening the centres where they have spread , Um , and kind of thinned out .

Uh , so we'll do that and then we'll pop that into the lay up and then or do I ?

Before I do that , I think I might add some more , um , little black patches .

Just between everything .

Oh , no , I am curing it .

Oh , no , I don't think I did cure that .

Well , you don't have to .

You can either cure and then do this step , um , and then cure these black or do them before , um , curing .

This is kind of a an afterthought .

So then I will cure these black ones , and then I'll do a very thin coat of the yellow glass .

I think just I can't remember if it's by itself or the mix , but either would be fine at this point .

Um , it's going to , um , just kind of mute everything and kind of blur it a little bit , so we'll cure that .

And then I took Rose copper leaf , which is also from Diamond Glitters .

Um , and I thought , you know , I see tortoises tortoise , because a tortoise , turtles and tortoise a tr um , I see tortoises with bits of gold leaf in their shell all the time .

So , you know , uh , I've been using just the tacky layer from the cured , um , yellow glass and that will just stick to it nicely .

And then we can go straight over , and I top it with super gloss just to make sure that , um , there's no bumps or unevenness just because we've got sort of patchy layers .

And And the gold , um , leaf here , the rose copper leaf .

This is another design that you could do sort of a variation of colours with , um I know obviously you get different colours of tortoise shell , but these are this is what my sunglass , um , arms look like this kind of tortoise shell .

And this is the one I the sort of colour .

I like the most , um , translated into a nail design .

But some people do them a lot more yellow .

Or I suppose you could kind of do it a greeny type one .

But I like this kind of sunglass tortoise shell , you know , glasses , frames that are like this .

So I'm going to top this with super glossy rubber top coat , which is also no wipe .

So while I'm doing that , shall we have another lover ?

Let's have another lover .

We had a message from Jennifer LGA .

Ilgar maybe says , Yeah , here early for Miss Joe .

Everyone's favourite aunt .

And I love that aunt is about the , you know , level of responsibility .

I'm comfortable with anything above that .

I'll take a pass .

I don't want to look after them all day , you know , Let's have fun , mess around , play games and stuff and then go away .

Leave me alone .

I'm watching a documentary about dismembered prostitutes .

It's not funny , though .

Um , so that is our tour to show one .

Um , And now we are taking parakeet .

Another colour that is just so good and doesn't get used enough .

Um , and we're going to do two coats of that .

And then another coat of the first base , the base coat .

And don't cure it .

I'm glad I put that there because I'd forgotten .

Uh , and then we're going to use this again as a kind of blooming effect .

So I'm taking Christmas Grinch .

I'm not very pleased with this .

Nail it .

It's not the best .

Um , but I thought I should try and do a snake print one .

but , I mean , my best advice for snake print nails .

Get a foil done .

Uh , but this is kind of a really simple snake print .

Obviously , um , the foils you get have got a lot more detail in .

So , uh , I've just done some laid some blobs again blobs , uh , laid some onto down the centre , and then I'm putting some down the side .

I did want to do them , um , in between each of the centre blobs on the side , the side ones .

But there was too big a gap between them .

Um , so I just did , um , just a bunch .

And then I put some on the side there .

I don't know why .

Shouldn't have really didn't fit any on the other side .

Um , but that middle one .

I maybe should have done a bit longer as well .

So there wasn't such a gap down the centre .

But I left it for not too long because it did start to bloom quite quickly , and I didn't want them to merge into one .

Um , so I let them bloom for a smidge and then cured that and topped it with diamond gloss .

And there you go .

Um , kind of snake print .

Also kind of looks a bit tortoise as well .

Like , you know , your classic green cartoon tortoise .

Um , but make of that what you will .

That was so quick .

Um , and very easy .

I'm now taking butterscotch and we're going to do a ah , what are we going to do ?

Oh , a kind of It's not a leopard print .

I'm thinking it's a cheetah print .

It was just another take on kind of leopard prints because I looked at leopards , jaguars and cheetah .

I mean , they were saying , I can't tell them apart , and not that if one was running towards me , I'd be like , Oh , which one is it ?

Um , but I thought I'd do another one like this and I I in my head this is more cheery than Leopard .

Uh , so they just have the they don't have , like , a colour inside the dot So inside the kind of little circling thing .

So I've done some full circles , then .

Not perfect circles , Um , and then some of them blob together .

But that was fine .

And then I'm doing some little dashes and splodges .

Uh , but I think the main thing was to get some hollow circles hollow , full circles on there , Um , and again , another super quick and easy design .

And another one where I kept getting carried away and adding bits in gaps .

Um , if I was , if I was to , uh , have designed animals , if I was God , then I would have got so carried away with filling in gaps that all animals would have just been black .

Maybe I should do AAA black Labrador nail .

Just black .

Done .

Black Labrador print .

Um , I did ask someone for some .

I was like , what ?

Other animals have prints .

I need some animals .

And they were like , elephant fucking elephant .

So , grey , if you want to do an elephant now , uh , so that's that one .

Just some circles and dashes and dots .

Um , and that gives a kind of I think it does look different .

I think I show you next to it .

I've cured the black and then topped with diamond gloss as well .

And that's it .

Next to the leopard , do they look like different animals ?

I mean , obviously the colours are different , but , you know , I'd be running from them either .

So that is all of them .

I hope you like them .
