I nailed it!!!!

Hey Dolls!!!

So we all know I'm obsessed with makeup. I also have a slight obsession with nail polish. I have over 60 bottles! (Don't judge me!) I've been a kitchen beautician for quite some time, but now I've also become a kitchen nail tech. My latest obsession is nail art, and I think that I have mastered hand painting leopard animal print on my nails. (Weeeelllll...maybe not so much mastered, but I'm getting good!)  

My first attempt was over some red nail polish that I happened to be wearing.  I decided to do a red, silver, and black animal print:

















I painted my nails red, added silver spots with nail art lacquer, and outlined the silver spots with black nail art lacquer.

Don't ask what animal is red, black, and silver...just let me be great. ;-)

For my second attempt, I tried a more demure look with tan, white, and black:
















I used the same technique for this look.

Finally, I went full-on glam with gold, bronzey brown, and black:



































The light bulb went off (finally), and I took a picture of the colors used:

















The gold color is Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Gilty Pleasure ( not really sure why they left out the "u" ...*shrug*)
The "bronzey brown" color is Sally Hansen Lacquer Shine Nail Color in Lotus



I like the last look the best, then the second. Truthfully, I didn't really feel the red, black and silver. Oh and please forgive my raggedy cuticles.

So, what do ya'll think? Next time I do it, I'll take pics step-by-step so you can see how I do it.

Love ya...mean it!

I used the L.A. Color Art Deco Nail Art Lacquer in Black to outline
