31 Day Challenge: Day 13

It's a jungle out there!

Today's challenge was animal print and I took a stab at some leopard spots.  I actually did this all yesterday, but I just bought a new camera and was figuring things out.  By the time I was ready to update, it was late at night and my indoor pictures weren't as good as taking outdoor pictures.  So this one is a little late, but it's so worth it because it's awesome!

I did a neon rainbow leopard print with holographic microglitter on top.  Essie Instant Hot is the base because it had a little shimmer to it (although, I'm starting to feel that a stark white polish would have been better).  The neon rainbow spots are China Glaze Towel Boy Toy, China Glaze Kiwi Cool-ada, Orly Glowstick, Orly Popsicle, China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, China Glaze Purple Panic, and Kiss Nail Art Paint in Black.  Then I swiped China Glaze Fairy Dust all over it.

I name this manicure:  Lisa Frank Inspired Leopard Nails.

31 Day Challenge: Day 7

In my head I'm singing "Ebony and Ivory" because today's challenge is Black & White!

There are so many things you can do with black and white, but I wanted to do something a little different.  I saw this tutorial on The Beauty Department and was so inspired to try it myself.  Mine is a little rough, but it's super tough free-handing!  Just one of those things that takes practice.

The Peter Pan Collar

It took seriously forever, but luckily I had ample time to dedicate to my black and white creation.
I used Fright Night Claw Polish (no relation to the horror flick) in black and Orly White Tips.  I had a lot of fun with this one, and I think I may attempt this one again some day.  It's just so cute!

Happy Thursday to y'all (and Happy Graduation to my sister-in-law)!
