So hooked, that I actually wore it for three days - it must be some kind of a new record for me! :D
So, I thought to go for another untried animal print, this time: leopard spots! :))
Let's head for right now for photos, that's how giddy I am about it:
Ta-da! <3
Is it okay to be so in love with them? ;)
I decided animal prints look great over a pretty gradient and went for it once again.
I used Bellaoggi Pearly White as the base colour and went with a shimmery minty green for the french tipped gradient: Inglot O2M No.665.
I then picked one of my black polish AND... my nail art brush - my first time ever using it!
*giddy all the way*
You can see I'm still trying to get the hang of it - I did only two nails (and that proved to take soooo long!) - but I can promise you even greater manis from now on!
I'm so excited! :D
I'll leave you with a detailed shot - still working on macro photos, too - hoping you enjoyed this one: my baby leopard nails *.*
AND I'm still thinking whether I'll participate in this month's Tri-Polish challenge. What do you think?
Leave me your sweet comments down below - you know I love reading them - and have a super duper day, lovelies! :D
Hugs & Kissies,

ReplyDeleteCristina
hehehe - gradients are just the cutest! :)
DeleteAnd do try the animal prints - I also didn't think they were anything special until... I tried them ;)
Love this Mina!! Are the stamps pretty big then? your nails are looking gorgeous and long so I'm surprised they fitted! xx
ReplyDeleteOh it's not even a stamp? looks just like one from a stamping plate! amazing! xx
Deletehehehe - no stamping, no - just a lot of patience ;)
DeleteNow, that's quite a compliment, must mean they're actually neat! :)
And you're right: with my nails like these I can't find any stamp designs to fit them, so I don't even bother and just go freehand instead :D
That looks so stylish! Really loving these black & whites :)
ReplyDeletehehehe - thanks, hun, I think so, too! :))
DeleteUhm, yes, it is totally ok to be in love with them! I really like the gradient background, and how the black really stands out from it :)
ReplyDeleteGradients are that thing, hey? ;) Thank you for your sweet comment, Lisa :)
