Hello there!
Today I have for you an animal print! Not something that is usual on my blog! More interestingly, it is a giraffe print!
I started the print off with a base of OPI - I Can't Cope-acabanaand using Revlon - Trendy to inmitate some giraffe pattern spots. I just went with the flow, didn't really copy any images.
As for my accent nail, I decided to try out a full giraffe painting. For the background, I used OPI - Dating A Royal and added a layer of China Glaze - Fariy Dust over it to show the dark starry night in the safari. Then I went in with the previous colors and drew out a cartoon-ish giraffe. Feels like a primary school kid during her art lesson LOL.
The size of my nails, or should I say my proportion of the giraffe might've been a bit too big? Idk, it's a little weird HAHA! Anyway, here are some macro shots just for pleasure's sake :D

Hey there reader!
Today's prompt is rather fun, because I do have a pet doggie and I'd definitely do a paw print! I hope that still counts as an animal print LOL.
I had on two coats of Anna Gorelova by Dance Lenged "22" which is a minty but dusty green with amazing small gold flakies. I chose this base color because it reminds me of soft grass where doggies love.
I then used a dotting tool to create paw prints using Sinful Colors "Black On Black". I did a cluster of paw prints on my pointer and pinky and did one paw on each my middle and ring.
Anyone else who also have a pet dog? Mine's called Koko and she's 15 years old this year!

Hey reader!
This afternoon, I helped my friend Amelia do her nails for Chinese New Year. It is the year of the goat/sheep/ram in the Chinese zodiac calendar, so she wanted some sheep themed nails. We decided on simple stripes for the other nails.
For the ring finger, the base color is Barry M - Cyan Blue and the pointer, middle and baby fingers have a baby blue polish base in Flormar - 423.
The accent design, I used white and black polish with various sized dotting tool. I did the white fluffy body first then the black head and ears followed by two white beady eyes and the black legs. I think it is cuter that the sheeps are facing different directions!
The pointer, middle and baby fingers had a simple design. I drew using my Pure Color No 10 brush with black polish to draw a slightly curved black like almost halfway down the nail and then I used the same blue on the ring finger for the stripes. I then went back in with the black to thicken and cover up any blue polish on the line.
Leaving the funniest (or should I say cutuest?) design which is the sheeps again! It is a frontal view of the sheep and the more I look at them, the more it looks like a sheep with a fluffly hat that is worn in Russia or really cold places HAHA!
I blocked out almost half of the nail with a light grey polish Revlon - Pastel Punk and then went in with a big dotting tool and white polish to create the fluffy heads. And not to forget the eyes and the cute little mouth!
Tomorrow is the first day of CNY, wishing all Chinese readers a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Have a prosperous year ahead~

Hello lovelies!
Today we're going wild! My very first leopard print nail art, but not just any leopard, a snow leopard!
And again, my polishes and tools used are below. As you can see, I used the pale blue Catrice polish that I superrrr love. I did a swatch and you can view it HERE.
