The world must be coming to an end - I've been wearing a french manicure since Sunday.
And I love it!
No, I'm not going crazy. I just did a really great modified french mani!
Tada! Neon leopard french!
For some reason, the stains on my nails recently disappeared. They're just gone. I did nothing to make them go away, but they are gone.
(I think it is from all the times I have peeled off my polish in the last month. I must have taken off the stained layer.)
So, with my stain-free nails, I knew I had to do a french because I think I've ever only done it once before.
But of course, I couldn't do a normal french manicure. I had to make it more fun! And more me!
So I added leopard print. (Shocker.)
This design was loosely inspired by these nails from my friend Leslie at Polish Art Addiction.
I love this look so much it's ridiculous. I can't believe how much I am enjoying a french mani!
And because I love it so much, you're getting pic spam!
Here's the polishes I used to create this look:
- Zoya - Loretta (sheer nude to cover any nail imperfections or staining)
- Zoya - Carey (gray for the french tip)
- Color Club - Twiggie (green dots)
- Color Club - Pucci-licious (purple dots)
- Color Club - Peppermint Twist (pink dots)
- Essence - Let's Get Lost (blue dots)
- Wet N Wild - Black Creme (black detailing)
I did the tip directly with the polish brush, and I did the leopard with a small dotting tool.
I finished it off with a thick coat of Seche Vite to even it all out!
I've been staring at my nails since I put this on. I'll have to change it tomorrow after I inevitably ruin it at my job, but 4 days is a pretty long time for me to wear something! (Especially something that doesn't involve glitter.)
Okay that's all my picture spam.
I really hope you guys enjoy this manicure as much as I do!
I'll have to come up with some more awesome french ideas to do while my nails are still all healthy looking!
I love it, I'm a sucker for animal print! It looks very fun and I would be staring at my nails too if they looked like this!
