Ombre cheetah print nails

Hey! I'm pretty excited about sharing these fun ombre cheetah print nails, of course one can never have too much cheetah print lol! I am not an expert at doing these ombre nails but practice makes perfect! I got the idea of this design from a rainbow ombre nail tutorial on youtube. I decided to go towards more earthy, natural colors instead :) Below I provided the step by step "picture tutorial"!

1. Begin by applying a base coat to the fingernail
2. apply the lightest color all over your fingernail (I used Sweet Nothing by L'Oreal)
3. now using a sponge i applied a light nude (by Santee) making sure i leave a small space for the lightest color to show
4. next i applied a nude, one shade darker than the last right above the light nude
5. then i applied a darker color (Taupe the space needle by OPI) continue the process using colors more and more darker each time 
6. second to last color i used is Devotion (By L'Oreal) and on the very tips of my nails i added a black color (Black Lingerie by Revlon)
7. once the whole nail has dried, start adding your cheetah print designs with a black polish or even a sharpie! 
8. Finish with a gel top coat and voila!
