Professional DQ Snow Leopard

Professional DQ just posted this to youtube within the last few days and I thought it would be a nice recreation so started it with my Sally Hansen Hard as Nails 850 Pumping Iron and then dry brushed on some Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Celeb City.  Dry brushing is different from her sponge technique where you have very little polish on your brush and paint the tip of your nail and as even more polish comes off you go higher up.  It basically achieves the same ombre effect, but with only 1 colour instead of her two on the sponge.  I wasn't feeling spongy today.  I then added some Sally Hansen (I see a trend here) Xtreme Wear Disco Ball to add sparkles to the tips of my nails to give it that sparkle.  I then used my acrylic paints in black and white to do the leopard print.  You can do a rough outline with the black and then make it look a bit neater with the white on the inside, I just made sure the outline was smooth.  My paintbrushes have seen a bit of wear by this point.  When Chris saw I asked him if I should paint my right hand also.  He was quite firm with his yes reply and also said they needed more sparkles :-)  So, I recreated the leopard on my off hand and added more Sally Hansen on the tips and went over the whole design with essie (gasp, not Sally Hansen) multi dimension top coat.  I'm not too impressed with the essie polish, I thought it would be more holographic in nature.  Maybe I should try it again on a plain colour base... if I ever do one again LOL :-)
