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 9

Every time I see a rainbow I have to stop what I'm doing and enjoy its beauty.  Fortunately for me, today's challenge is to create nail art incorporating a rainbow.  I was inspired to try this design from color-happy.blogspot.com because it was just too stinkin' cute to pass!

It was surprisingly easy to do, too.  First, I did a white base coat with Orly White Tips.  Then I rounded up the best rainbow colors in my stash:  OPI OPI Red, OPI A Roll in the Hague, OPI Lemonade Stand By Your Man, Revlon Posh, China Glaze Towel Boy Toy, and OPI Purple With A Purpose.  Then I topped it off with China Glaze Fairy Dust, a holographic microglitter.  The perfect glitter to put on top of a rainbow!

It's so cheery!  It's too bad I have to take it off tomorrow.

Happy Saturday!
