Jessie J's Nails: The Rainbow Giraffe

So you’ve all tried out our first Jessie J nail art look, The Graphic Moon, and now it’s time to take a walk on the wild side with the second tutorial in our three part series.

When we saw Jessie’s colourful animal print nails at V Festival this summer, we knew we had to find out how it was done and who better for the job than Jenny Longworth, Jessie J’s manicurist and Revlon’s UK Nail Ambassador. Jenny shows you, step-by-step, how to get the look she dubs The Rainbow Giraffe at home.

Apply one layer of base coat and leave until touch dry.

Next paint a third of your nail starting at the base at a curved angle using Revlon Nail Enamel in Fuchsia Fever, £6.49 at Boots.

Paint the next third of your nail using Revlon Nail Enamel in Sassy, £6.49 at Boots.

Then apply Revlon Nail Enamel in Impulse, £6.49 at Boots to the tips.

Jenny's tip: Don’t worry about making the lines straight, organic, hand application makes for a more realistic look.

Using a black nail art pen, draw uneven circles all over the nails to create the giraffe pattern.
