So a bit of a Sunday ritual for me is to give myself a fresh mani. I was in a creative mood so I scoured youtube for nail art ideas and came across a bunch of animal print designs.
I finally settled on trying out a fierce leopard print. I LOVE leopard print I own several items featuring the golden spotty feline coat so I can finally add nails to my repertoire of leopardy goodness!
I used a total cheapo $2 nail polish from the chemist for the base. Any gold, coppery shade will work. Mine was quite glittery so I applied 2 coats to get a more solid colour. Use any black or brown (or both!) for the spots. I used shades 'Lunar by Revlon and 'Precious' by 'Ulta 3'
You do not have to be a pro or have a steady hand for this at all! Nor did I need any freaky nail tools to do it! To create the spots dab off all the excess polish so your working with a stingy amount and using the edge of the brush lightly blob in random C shapes. Finish with a top coat and your done!
Now growl and hiss til your hearts content..
Anyone tried a new nail design lately? I'd love to see your manis- your growling, clawing pics are encouraged..
Oh by the way, my rings are initial (my boyfriends, nawww) stackables from Urban Outfitters.
Until next time!

Ombre Nails
Sunday for me is manicure day! I find it so relaxing to paint my nails and I love it when I end up creating something fun and new. Today's ombre effect was a total fluke I've got to say! Whilst deciding what colour to choose I emptied out my nail polish bag onto my bed and all of these pretty shades of pink magically fell out in gradient order!
The beauty god's were talking to me haha! Here's my yummy, bubble gum pink ombre nails!
products:
pinky: Lofes shade 119, ring: Sportsgirl 'fairy floss', middle: Revlon 'sweet tart',
index: 'guava', thumb: Revlon 'red hot tamale
Anybody fluked a new look like mine before?
