Leopard

Hey guys!

Today I have some leopard nail art inspired by (aka. straight up copied from) Very Emily.

I started off with striping tape and Barry M Almond on all my nails (except for my ring finger) to create the negative space design. On my ring finger I added the gold glitter polish F.U.N Lacquer Million Dollar Dream. Afterwards I freehanded the leopard design on my pointer finger and pinky with a small nail art brush and black acrylic paint. To finish everything off I added a gold stud from Born Pretty Store to my middle finger.

I love everything Emily does, so of course I had to recreate this mani the moment I saw it!

Toucans

Hey guys!

Yesterday my boyfriend and I went to Copenhagen Zoo as part of my birthday present and we saw lots and lots of beautiful animals.
I was inspired by the toucans to make this mani!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of CND Cream Puff on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped the toucans on my middle and ring finger with MoYou London Tropical Plate 06 and Mundo de Uñas Black stamping polish. Then I filled in the beaks with OPI Primarily Yellow and OPI Chromatic Orange. To finish everything off I applied the orange glitter Formula X Firecracker to my pinky in a gradient design.

I think these turned out awesome!
