Animal Print

Hello!!

I am SO excited to share with you this very beautiful manicure! With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I knew I would be using the color pink as my inspiration. I then remembered how much I loved doing animal print but I hadn't featured it on my blog yet! So I combined the two ideas together and came up with this mani. For this look you will need three colors of nail polish, some aluminum foil (for dipping dotting tools into polish placed on the foil), a medium sized and small dotting tool and lots of patience.

I started with a base coat of OPI start to finish formaldehyde free formula. I then did two coats of Sei Bella Pink Sherbet. Once dry, I used a medium sized dotting tool and Sei Bella Coral Fantasy to make four dots, one on each corner of the nail. Then I used Orly Liquid Vinyl and a very small dotting tool to create a C shape around the dots, so that they aren't completely enclosed with the black, almost like a parentheses (   ) and you can place them either horizontally or vertically. I then placed several black spots around the animal print to complete the look. Once completely dry to the touch, I sealed it with a fast drying top coat of INM Out the Door.

I absolutely LOVE this look!! So fun and flirty, perfect for Valentine's Day! If you want to change up the colors, just use a light color as the base and use a contrasting color for the dots, and then of course use black just like I used it here. Hope you enjoyed this mani and I'll see you next week!
