Giraffe on my nails!

I have never seen a giraffe in real life before. Not that I fancy giraffe much but I do find giraffe's skin pattern interesting. That coming from a person who loves any shades of brown :)

So yeah, I decided to do giraffe skin patten on me nails for this week FF.



I wanted to use the brown polish that I'm holding to draw the brown patches. But it dries very quick and so painting gets difficult. I don't have dark brown acrylic paint as well but much thanks to Art class, I was able to get dark brown color by mixing red, yellow and blue. But I did the mixing separately for each nail. Hence, the different shade of brown. Still, I feel satisfied about it.

Pink Leopard Tutorial

Hey!

Today, I'm gonna share with you how I did the pink leopard print nail art for my previous Friday Fingers.

It's pretty easy and I actually love doing it.

The colors that I used. Well, animal prints doesn't necessarily need to be just black, white or brown.

.
.

First, apply the base color (after top coat that is).

.
.

Using darker shade of pink, blob some onto a piece of paper. If you don't have dotting tool (like me), use DIY dotting tool. I used hairpin. Scatter dots of the darker pink on the nails. The dots don't have to be perfect round dot.


.
.

Next, draw the black (refer photo below). I found out the thinner the black lines, the better leopard print effect it gives. So I used toothpick since it creates thinner dots/lines to circle the pink dots.

There you go...pink leopard print (before applying top coat).


And here's a photo of my previous done nails.


Enjoy trying!

Hear me roarrr!

This is my first attempt to do leopard print nail art. Beaty asked me to try it and so I did. But since my nails were freshly painted, I just tried this on fake nail.




Will try again on my nails!

In the mean time, don't forget to join my Friday Fingers!
