What you'll need:
I'm using Nailene nails, using fake nails makes it easiest to paint the border. You'll also need a nude polish and your choice of outline colour. I'm using O.P.I's Coney Island Cotton Candy and Essie's Pink Parka
Trim and file the nails to your liking then paint a base coat of your nude polish
After the base polish has dried I used some presstik to stick the nail onto the end of a paint brush just to make it easier to handle. Using your outline colour carefully drag the brush along the edge of each nail. Using a matte polish can make it easier to fix mistakes because it doesn't remove the lower layers of polish.
Once you've carefully outlined each nail, paint with a top coat! Here's the finished look.
My leopard accent nail is a Nail Fraud Leopard print sticker from Urban Outfitters.
If you've got a steady hand or after some practice you can use a thin paint brush to paint directly on to your nails. These are both from Michael's, make sure you clean all left over polish off with nail polish remover or acetone after each use.
