Leopard Print CalGel – Holly from Nylon

Last night, @erinmccaffrey and I went to Sakura Nail Spa with Holly from Nylon Mag.  She’s equally a nail fiend, so we had to induct her into the Cult of CalGel.
She was WAY adventurous and got these amazing leopard print nails.  Her nail artist was SUKI – who is an incredible artist.  Please keep in mind that he did everything BY HAND!
I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves!

And here’s a picture of Suki, working his magic!

The process:

  • He did a base Clear Calgel
  • Then did 2 coats of white CalGel on the entire nail
  • He did “dots” of the light-brown shade all around the nails.
  • Then with Acryllic dark brown paint, he took a super-micro brush and hand-painted the accents around the “dots”
  • Finished the nails with a topcoat of Clear Calgel

@erinmccaffrey also got her nails hooked up.  She went the more conservative route, being her first trip to Sakura, but we DID convince her to get some nail bling:

As for me, I have an appointment on Saturday for my “music video” nails.  Pics to come for sure!

  1. Wow. Those leopard nails are GORGEOUS! I would totally do that or a giraffe print – I love daring stuff like that. I wish I could find someone to do that in DC.
