Creative Animal Print Nail Art Ideas
The nail art possibilities are endless! Mix, match, and customize these fierce prints:
-
Chic Cow Print: Stamp the trendy cow print design using black stamping polish over a pale pink or creamy white base. This look is modern, playful, and perfect for an accent nail.
-
Jungle Mix: Combine different prints on each nail—for example, zebra stripes on the index finger, leopard spots on the ring finger, and a solid color on the others. Use contrasting colors like neons with black for a vibrant look.
-
Snake Skin Glam: Stamp the intricate snake skin or alligator print design using a metallic or holographic polish (like gold or bronze) over a deep green or nude base for a luxurious, textured manicure.
-
French Twist: Use a French tip design from another plate, then stamp a tiny section of the cheetah or tiger print inside the tip line for a subtle but wild detail.
How to Use Your Animal Print Stamping Plate
Creating beautiful full-nail designs is easy AF with stamping:
-
Apply Polish: Apply a thick, generous coat of your highly pigmented stamping polish onto your chosen animal print design on the plate.
-
Scrape & Lift: Use a scraper at a $45^{\circ}$ angle to quickly and firmly remove the excess polish. Immediately pick up the entire large image using a large nail stamper with a smooth, gentle roll.
-
Transfer: Carefully line up the stamper over the center of your clean, dry nail. Roll the stamper across your nail to transfer the design from cuticle to free edge.
-
Finish: Seal your wild animal print manicures with a glossy or matte top coat to lock in your look!
