My First Leopard Print Nails

I sure hope you are all having nice weather because it's snowing like crazy here! We're on day 2 of no school for the kiddos, we've had almost a foot of the white stuff! I'm not really going to complain though, we desperately need the moisture!

I'm so often inspired by the nails of other artists and today was no different. I was looking at some awesome leopard print nails by Lauren over at Bad Luck Barbie and it inspired me to try it out for myself! She even has a tutorial right here! I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out for my first time and I will definitely be doing them again!

The colors I used were Zoya - Tru for the base. This is my first and only Zoya and I love it! The spots were made using Sinful Colors - Sugar N Spice and Essie - Little Brown Dress. The color combos for this print are endless and I'm excited to try it out! I did the design with a dotting tool and it was super  easy! If you love nail art but aren't confident about your skills - give this a try!

 

I just had to share something that I'm super bummed about. I went to edit the pictures for 5 manis I had saved up and all the photos look like crap! I never have a chance to look at the photos before the mani comes off or is ruined by wear and tear so what I get is what I get. I'm not sure if the light was in the wrong spot or what but all of the nails are seriously glared! All you can see is shine and I wanted to cry when I saw that! I'm sure there's a lesson there somewhere but I'm too mad at myself to figure out what that is. I just wanted to share - feel free to console me!
