Acid Leopard Nail Art Tutorial

[navaldez]

I tried this and people loved it :D

Now my niece wants me to do this on her too

Still waiting for the water marble you mentioned :)

[CookieMonstuhx3]

where do you get all these neon colour nail polishes? ive been looking for them for months!! :(

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@CookieMonstuhx3 the are from icing =)

[Courtneykinsss]

This is so amazing. I completely love rainbows and animal print :) Just wondering but do you have any pictures of this on your blog? I couldn't seem to find any.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Courtneykinsss not yet - I'm still very behind on my blog, I only just finished posting the end of my pics for 2011 LOL - but they will be up eventually, hopefully soon =)

[LorenaPlusHearts]

If her nails were fake and she didn't want people to know why would she post pictures of them without nail polish. Some people obviously just have to run their mouth about something! Smh

[mypaperheartx3101]

wow this is really good :) love it <3

[krissyanne7]

super awesome

[marieeelovelypants]

wow people shut up and enjoy the damn video

[theonlyoneisyou99]

can you say to me how you can have so long nails?! Mine always breake u.u

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@theonlyoneisyou99 I keep my nails moisturized, lots of lotion & cuticle oil & I also take a biotin supplement – check out my Nail Maintenance vid in the Tips & Trick playlist for my full routine. I do occasionally get a tear or break but you can check out my tutorial on silk wrap patching for how I save those nails =) I do "Naked Nails" posts on my blog every month or so where I talk more about like all the specific products I'm currently using.

[Danval1023]

@Emilekuvesu1 she never said they were real dumbass.. She knows they are fake and so does everyone else -_- So stupid...

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Danval1023 ... actually I say all the time they are real & show them without polish frequently on my blog so it's plain to see they're natural

[Danval1023]

@SimpleLittlePleasues whaaat?! those things are real?! O_O how did you grow those.. damn <_< how do you even do anything with nails that long XD

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Danval1023 it's just normal for me, I don't have any trouble - I keep my nails moisturized, lots of lotion & cuticle oil & I also take a biotin supplement – check out my Nail Maintenance vid in the Tips & Trick playlist for my full routine. I do occasionally get a tear or break but you can check out my tutorial on silk wrap patching for how I save those nails =) I do "Naked Nails" posts on my blog every month or so where I talk more about like all the specific products I'm currently using.

[Emilieluvsu1]

Your nails are so fake I can see your real nail underneath

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Emilieluvsu1 ... I show my nails without polish on my blog & in several vids - it's plain to see they are natural =P

[1TUFFTURTLE]

@Emilieluvsu1 first the part that you see underneath is called a cuticle and second why do you even care? i think she would know if she had fake nails and what would be the point in lying about it?

[fofojojo441]

I can't do it.......... But I really want to! It always ends up looking like crap.... :(

[allyn930]

@SimpleLittlePleasues okay.

[CuteNails412]

Are your nails real??



[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@CuteNails412 yes, my nails are natural =)

[allyn930]

Why is it called acid?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@allyn930 because that's what the vid that inspired me was called =)

[videoluver2day]

This is really cute ! At first when I saw the spongeing I didn't think it was gonna be as good as this ! I love it !

[spofaloficus]

how do you get your nails to stay so long and strong mine keep breaking :(

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

[saucrrf17]

Have you done a tutorial for galaxy nails? I would love to see your take on it!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@saucrrf17 no, although I've had a few layered manicures that ended up kind of looking that way =)

[PrincipessaNutellosa]

Fluo ! I love it.. Besos from Italy :P

[LaMargoful]

How did you grow your nails so strong and long? I want to grow them out but it always seems to fail

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

[GangstaBearr22]

where did you get the conan, nail art stencil thing?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@GangstaBearr22 I got my konad from the state fair, I go over some of the websites in part one of the FAQ =)

[999Vana]

I found out that a eye shadow sponge brush works as well and it's a lot easier to use

[Emmely454]

I wish I could wear nail polish like you. My nails are so fragile they keep breaking off... amazing video though!

[jnyfried]

I mean, can you use gel polishes?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@jnyfried ah - I've never used them but I think as long as they don't dry too fast, it should be OK =)

[jnyfried]

does sponging work with gel nails? I love this!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@jnyfried I haven't tried it myself but I think it should be fine =)

[bmviola310]

LOVE!!! incredible and easy to follow =) well done xoxo

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@BombonikyFrumusiky0 I'm not a professional, it's just my hobby =)  yes my nails are natural

[SinnamonS]

You sound soooooooo boring and dry and I almost went to sleep but good job on the nails

[YESitsLeticia]

Can you do a zebra design tutorial or do you already have one??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@YESitsLeticia I don't have one - usually for animal print I use konad, so this was kind of a first for me =)

[ThePamster]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Well let me tell Colette this BLEW my mind!!! For a first effort on leopard print you excelled! I am SO trying this this summer, thanks for all the inspiration this tutorial offers! :D

[hlwhlwhlwplaylists]

i love the polish, i like long nails, but yours look like claws!

[xmujeRnegRax]

thanks youuu for explain ♥

[mrkellydoodle]

Have you ever thought about doing a nail polish collection video? I'd love to see that.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@mrkellydoodle there are some pics on my blog =) I don’t know when I’ll get to a vid but in the right sidebar there's a drop down for my labels - look under the tag "my stash" & I think it's the 2nd post that will show up

[PurpleNailNinja]

Hey guys, I don't mean to be rude but I just started a nail blog like this one, and it would mean so much to me if you guys would check it out and give me feedback? It's only my first tutorial so there is a lot of room for improvement! I paint my nails every weekend so I plan to make a new video every week. Thanks! xx

[MsSnowconeLove]

This is so beautiful. 

[laura5x5]

love these, they are amazing

[Morenaxb21]

Colette come back!!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Morenaxb21 LOL I am here just very sick =)

[whhhhite]

@SimpleLittlePleasues yes come back, i miss seeing your videos in my subscription box!

[pressssi]

sooo scary...

[28alexzandra]

at 1:07 you can see that the tips of your nails are a bit bigger, why are they bigger? xoxo

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@28alexzandra a few have patches, but also most natural nails don't grow perfectly straight =)

[GiftsofGab]

Really nice, but couldn't you just do the coloring on the bottom and then Sharpie the print? :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@GiftsofGab the polish pen is a lot like a sharpie =) I don't know if I'd really want to use a permanent marker even over polish, it seems like it could bleed through & stain your natural nail badly

[mltblogg]

How do you live with those long nails?! :o

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@mltblogg it's just normal for me =)

[LookUpAndWonder]

13 people have never seen a rainbow......:P

[delishc12]

are those real nails or acrylic? I want mine to look that way!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@delishc12 my nails are natural =)

[anjrules]

Thanks!!! :)

[Megs5698]

This is really cool! and how do you get your nails so strong? when i try and grow mine out, they are so thin..

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Megs5698 I keep my nails moisturized, lots of lotion & cuticle oil & I also take a biotin supplement – check out my Nail Maintenance vid in the Tips & Trick playlist for my full routine.

[lalathekido]

When will you have more vids I'm sad now

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@lalathekido when I have time & am feeling better =)

[HogwartsGirlx]

Question- What's your favorite fine silver glitter polish? Like a glitter polish that's so fine it's not even hard to take off. and it would be great to put over every design? i'm using a tiny one by wet n wild and it's really good but running out quickly :P

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@HogwartsGirlx I have a lot of silvers, one that's good to layer off the top of my head is sally hansen silver lining but I'm not sure if it's still available =)

[CoolGurl549]

how are you not working at a nail salon or a world famous nail designer

and also can you do like a silvery midnight glittery water marbling

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@CoolGurl549 LOL well I'm no professional & don't really have any interest in doing other people's nails =) I do have a black & silver marble but most glitters are difficult to marble with

[CoolGurl549]

@SimpleLittlePleasues oh lol just saying ur like a pro with nails lol i wish i was that good i always get it on my skin and what not lol

[LithiumCaryn]

@SimpleLittlePleasues the glitter nail polish Avon sells is pretty easy to use for glitter water marble but the don't sell clear just colored glitters

[flylikeacg]

OMG SO PRETTY <3

[donnaleesoucy]

I thought it looked like Lisa Frank too! But its cute.. maybe I'll do mine if I motivate myself enough...lol

[fineantight]

Are you working on wool?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@fineantight no, just a paper towel =)

[greekshorty99]

This is random but why did u get ur lip piercing?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@greekshorty99 because I like the look =)

[anjrules]

How do u clean d sponge ????

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@anjrules I don't, once the polish is dried on it, it's pretty much useless so I just throw out that section =)

[SuperCupcakeBeauty]

you should try zebra acid nail tutorial

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@SuperCupcakeBeauty it is on my list - beth did one though, check out her channel professionaldq =)

[iheartflowers8]

can u plz do a nail polish collection video??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@iheartflowers8 there are some pics on my blog =) I don’t know when I’ll get to a vid but in the right sidebar there's a drop down for my labels - look under the tag "my stash" & I think it's the 2nd post that will show up

[TaylorPorter19]

Wow, this is probably the easiest one yet. Some are hard for me, but th the imperfections of the leopard print and the sponge, if I mess up, it's actually not messing p because it's not supposed to be perfect! Best tutorial yet!!!!!

[aimlvtt]

This is amazing!! Your best tutorial I've seen yet. I had no idea you could do this with polish!! btw I loved the music too!!

[carissa5825]

Actually theyre seven colors in a rainbow but usaully not included

[arabicprincess111]

do like china glazes electro pop collection ?

i jus bought sunshine pop and techno. the lady let me buy em before they were out :))

ill buy tha others at an other time lol

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@arabicprincess111 I don't have any of them yet, they look OK but nothing truly unique, I'm really looking forward to the hunger games collecton though

[nishtabre]

go stop acta now!

[iceprincess10291q]

Looks so pretty. Love it! :) Goanna try this design out once the polish on my nail starts to chip. :P

[amandad1419]

Where can you buy ICING polishes?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@amandad1419 at the Icing store =)

[CosmeticswithNautica]

@SimpleLittlePleasues i actually got some of mine from this chinese store in the mall for really cheap

[Kwiltbuilder2]

@amandad1419 Walmart, Cvs and drugstore really!! I just wanted to tell u because u dont need to go all the way to the mall to get nail polish. I have icing nail polish and i got it at walmart

[TaylorPorter19]

@amandad1419 ICING is by Claires, so you can find it sometimes at claires too:)

[nicky41090]

love the bright colors, especially since it makes me happy in the winter when everything is usually dark! i love sponging but wouldnt it have been easier to just use a fan brush to blend the colors?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@nicky41090 I've never tried that technique, but sponging is petty easy =)

[Ananomouse]

What top coat/base coat do you have use/recomend?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Ananomouse my current base is nail life gripper, and for top coat I always use seche vite =)

[jenj445]

I have that same nail art pen, but when i use mine it looks like it cracks and it is not solid black.

Did you have this problem?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@jenj445 no - did you shake it beforehand? I haven't really used mine much, it's been in my nail art drawer for probably 2 or 3 years LOL

[barcelona1fan90]

hey i luv ur vids :)

[BriaCoolio]

this is amazing



[holycows1122]

Loved this video, do you use any product to grow your nails? I know they aren't fake nails so I was just wondering! Keep up the great work :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@holycows1122 I keep my nails moisturized, lots of lotion & cuticle oil & I also take a biotin supplement – check out my Nail Maintenance vid in the Tips & Trick playlist for my full routine =)

[BobbieBombshell]

I just started doing sponging haven't gotten out down just yet but of love this look I'm going to try this real soon but I think with zebra print. What type of sponge do you recommend?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@BobbieBombshell it doesn't make too much difference - you can use any, depending on how dense the sponge is will effect the texture of the sponging =)

[woowHGFTW2]

@SimpleLittlePleasues can you draw the leopard spots with a thin brush instead?? please REPLY <3333

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@woowHGFTW2 I suppose so, if you have a steady enough hand =)

[missmakeupshow]

Water marble

Leves me with a blib if one if the paints

HELP PLZ

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@missmakeupshow do you mean bubbles? My 3 main tips to prevent bubbles would be: make sure there are none in the polish before you dip you nail (you can pop those), dip in & out slowly, and make sure to get rid of any water drops on your nail - if they won't drip or shake off, you can use the corner of a paper towel to absorb them. HTH =)

[Friendsandfools]

Acid will burn you

[woowHGFTW2]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THATS SO GROOVY FARRR OUTT BAYYYBEEEEEEEE

[Cloud9NailDesigns]

PS THANKS FOR THE TUTORIAL IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE.

[Cloud9NailDesigns]

I NEED SOMETHING TO KEEP MY CAMERA STILL FACING TO WHERE I WANT IT TO. WHAT CAN I USE? A TRIPOD WOULD BE TOO BIG.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Cloud9NailDesigns I use a tripod - just a very small one =)

[professionalDQ]

@Cloud9NailDesigns You could use one of those tripods with the bendy legs. I use a bendy tripod and I wrap the legs around the top of a kitchen roll holder so the camera faces straight downwards. It's perfect :D xxx

[svhien]

can you put tape around your nails some it won't be dirty on the outside?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@svhien yes if you want, but it's pretty quic to clean up with the qtip =)

[professionalDQ]

Dude, I joined in on your acid party!!

I used an extra ingredient... hope you would like a video response when I upload. YEEEEAAAAYYYYY!!! <3

[crazyweathergirl]

Did you get new audio equipment? Your voice sounds much clearer!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@crazyweathergirl I got a new camera a few months ago =)

[cupcake101]

Very pretty! Wow!!!

[Bluedemon62]

Very pretty, and I love the music!

[MotherofVillans]

Do you have any tricks for keeping the sponge from drying out? I found that I had to use at least 2 corners of the sponge for one colour because the polish kept drying it out and making it harder to blend the colours. it turned out more blotty than seamless.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MotherofVillans just using slow drying colors if possible & then working as quick as you can =)

[nishtabre]

WARNING: SOPA and PIPA WILL STOP OUR GURUS SOON!

[missMusicIsLife01]

Can you do this design with short nails?!

This is a beautiful design!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@missMusicIsLife01 yes, you just have to make the sections smaller =)

[csalin54]

would you be able to do this design if you glue on fake plain nails or will it only work with your natural nail?
