Recently, leopard print styles have been popular, and this particular design stands out due to its glittery base. Two coats of China Glaze’s “I’m Not Lion” were used, which offers notable qualities. The polish has an excellent consistency, applying smoothly without being thick. It provides full opacity in just two coats. The color is a sophisticated champagne pale gold, and the sparkle is highly noticeable.
Although the glitter is somewhat gritty, it is less textured than expected. Initially, a single coat of topcoat was applied before proceeding with additional nail art. By the end of the manicure, two coats of topcoat were used, effectively smoothing out the glitter and achieving a polished finish.
Lighter spots were added using China Glaze Desert Sun. This color is often described as butterscotch in various blogs. It features a warm, caramel-like hue that evokes a sense of comfort. Desert Sun is a crème finish that applied smoothly and effortlessly in this nail art design.
Irregular markings were applied using China Glaze Call of the Wild. This polish is a dark brown with a red undertone and has a crème finish. It exhibits some sheerness around the edges, almost resembling a jelly texture. Although it is categorized as a crème, the edges of some spots show a thinner, clearer, and redder appearance.
Starting the “On Safari” nail art series with an animal print manicure was fitting. The base color, aptly named “I’m Not Lion,” delivered on its promise. The playful reference to leopard prints adds a touch of humor to the design.
Here is a bonus blurred image showcasing the sparkle in “I’m Not Lion.” The polish features holographic glitter, yet maintains a smooth, even texture even when not exposed to direct sunlight.
CONCLUSION
