31 Day Challenge - Day 13: Animal Print

- Giraffe Print Nails -
The theme of the day is animal printIn case you've been in hibernation for the Winter, let me be the first to tell you that animal print is all the rage right now and from what I've seen on the popular human behavior documentary called "Jerseylicious", I've also learned that for some it's not just a love, it's an addiction. It seems like everywhere I turn, there's animal print staring back at me. Leopards and cheetahs and zebras, oh my! As usual, I decided to go a bit outside the box and stray away from the common designs, so I busted out my trusty nail art brushes and free-handed these giraffe print nails today!

Polishes used: China Glaze - Lemon Fizz & Over the Taupe
For these, I started out with a simple base of Lemon Fizz. Once dry, I used my smallest nail art brush to start working on the outlines of each of the brown areas. I then used a dotting tool to dab in the brown polish and fill in the spots. Some of the spots needed a second coat and others seemed a little thick, but a nice coat of Seche Vite smoothed everything out nicely!

  1. These look fantastic! I'm going to try this, you always see the crazy designs with cheetah and leopard print, but this looks like something I could do that would turn out really cute, thanks for the idea!

    1. Thanks for the compliment! Definitely give it a try, if you don't have a set of art brushes, you could also create the design with dotting tools or even a toothpick!
