Leopard print

I wanted to try to make a leopard print in three colours but it didn't get quite as good as I wanted it to be :b

I used H&M - Ocean Sand as base, Pieces - Golden Chokolate for the print and Tiger - 17 as highlighter.
Does any of you have tips for how to make a good leopard print with three colours? :)

Very first leopard print

So I finally got some real nail brushes - a set of 15 brushes very cheap on eBay.

For the following design I used the first brush from the left.

Polish: H&M - Aqua, and the black: Rival de Loop - 30.

This is my very first leopard print ever. I started on my thumb and worked my way to my pinkie. I think you can see it gets better after a few nails :)

So what do you guys think? And do you also hand paint you leopard prints? :)
