Mint and white striped

Hi guys!

I. AM. IN. LOVE <3 <3 

Oh gosh this may be one of my all time favorite manicures... like, ever. It's no secret that China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle is one of my favorite polishes, I never even thought to pair it up with some holographic sparkle, and white zebra print.... until now! Are you ready for some minty goodness?!

I started off with a base of China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle. When it was dry I added a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust. I sealed all of that in with some Seche Vite to speed up the drying process. Then I stamped over each nail with PMTG White Undies and Bundle Monster plate BM-223. Finally I sealed everything in with once more coat of Seche Vite and that was it. 

Mint. Mint EVERYTHING. I don't even know how to express how much I love this manicure. I may wear it for like.... ever ;) 

Just kidding! There will be a new design up soon!

Have you ever created a manicure that you never wanted to take off? Show me a picture in the comments so I can see!

Thanks loves :) 

Zebra Half Moons

Freehand zebra print...

Not exactly my forte, I definitely need a lot more practice but I'm proud enough of these to show them to you guys :) Plus, I did some half moons using my current favorite color, CHina Glaze Too Yacht To Handle! ;)

Let's get started!

I started off with a base of Essie Blanc on all of my nails. When it dried I painted on the half moons with China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle. I created the zebra print using Wet'n'Wild Black Creme and outlined the half moons with Color Club Beyond. I added some Essie Good-To-Go and a rhinestone on each nail to finish the design.

I know I still need some practice with the stripes but overall I'm pretty proud of these zebras! And I quite like the contrast between the dark zebra print and the bright mint. 

So tell me guys, what's your favorite animal print?

Thanks loves :) 

The wild thing

Hi loves!

I've got a short and sweet post for you guys today.

Remember my gradient from the other day?? Yeah well we all know I couldn't just leave it like that. I took out my stamping plates and took a look through them and when I saw the zebra pattern I realized that this little blog has been way lacking in the animal print department. I can't figure out why since I LOVE anything animal print! ;) 

Anyways I started this manicure off with my gradient from the other day using Color Club Kismet and Eternal Beauty. Then I used L.A Colors striping polish in Black and stamped using BM- 223. Top coat with Poshe and it was done! 

SPARKLE!!!! ;)

Love love love this! Zebra print has always been my favorite and I love the way it looks over a gradient like this.

What about you guys? What's your favorite animal print?

Recycled!

Good morning!

Today I have yesterday's mani recycled!! I love recycling manis LOL! I loved yesterday's mani so much that I just couldn't bear to take it off just yet. I tried to think of something to add to them and then BAM it just hit me! I've been getting more accustomed to using striping tape and I've been getting such good results I figured I'd add a little here too and man I love the results!

Colors used:
- China Glaze Fast Track
- L.A. Colors Striping Polish in Black

I just love the results! I think they look so elegant and I got SO many compliments when I wore them! I'm definitely going to try something like this again!

So what do you guys think?

Animal print!

Good morning all!

I have a little change for you all today... not Christmas-y themed nails! Different huh?! LOL I did this mani the other day and love it WAY too much not to show it :) Also, I've come to realize that this blog is SERIOUSLY lacking some animal print goodness ;) Two birds one stone right?! 

So the other night I went to paint my nails pretty late so I wanted to do something simple that wouldn't take too much time. I knew I had to take out the trusty stamping plates and the first one I grabbed was Bundle Monster's zebra design. Then I had to pick a color... I picked it the same way I picked my plate... the first one I grabbed. And let me tell you it's perfect! Take a look :) 

Colors used:
- China Glaze Fast Track
- L.A. Colors Striper Polish in Black

So love this! China Glaze Fast Track is one of my all time favorite polishes and it goes perfectly! Fast Track is a medium toned tan with a beautiful gold shimmer. It's just a teeny tiny bit dark on me but I don't care it's too pretty not to love LOL

Matte Zebra

Hello all!

So today you guys are going to see my very first acceptable free hand animal print :) I'm pretty excited about this one because I think it actually looks like zebra print woohoo!! I've been wanting to try a glossy/matte mani for a while now and had some extra time last night so I gave it a go. Take a look at how it turned out!

Colors used:
- Sinful Colors Black on Black
- NYC Matte Me Crazy

This look was really easy to create, I painted my base polish and then put NYC's Matte Me Crazy over it. When that was dry I used a striping brush and dipped it into my top coat to create the stripes. Easy right? :)

So what do you guys think? Does it look like zebra print?! I am so in love with animal print I've been working really hard to get better so I can show you guys some more :) 

Thank for reading everyone :)
