Day 31: Recreate your favorite challenge (31-Day Nail Art Challenge)

Today's the last day of the challenge! Out of all the 30 designs that I did for the whole month, my most favorite is the Giraffe Print Nails from Day 13. That was the first time that I did giraffe print and I really liked how it turned out. I also got some compliments with that design. Someone even thought that I used nail wraps for the design. I also changed it up a little bit because instead of using a pale yellow base color, I used a gold glitter polish. I just did the same steps in creating the giraffe print. Here are my giraffe print nails:

This blog doesn't stop here. I have a lot of ideas and input that I want to add here. So, I'll see you around!

Day 13: Animal Print (31-Day Nail Art Challenge)

Today's design is not your average animal print. I like to call it Glam Giraffe Print! I've done zebra print and leopard print nails before and for today's challenge, I want to do something different. So I looked up online for other animal print nails. I decided to do the giraffe print nail art.

The only problem is that I don't have the appropriate yellow polish for this design. The ideal shade would be something like a pale yellow for the base color and then brown for the giraffe spots. Good thing I'm resourceful, lol! I have Angel Wings  from the China Glaze Holiday 2012 Collection. It's like a sand glitter with a matte finish. It is so easy to apply. I used 3 coats of this for full opacity. What I also like about Angel Wings is that it is a "friendly" glitter polish. I used this by itself before and it wasn't hard removing it. So here's my base color:

For the spots, I used Finger Paints Sketchy Character. It's a chocolate brown shade. I bought this polish a while ago but it's the first time that I will be using it. I used the smaller end of a dotting tool to create the spots. It is easy to do the spots because it is so random. I start with one big spot and then I just work my way around it. Here's my Glam Giraffe Print:

This is my favorite design so far. I can't stop staring at my nails. I'm so sad that I have to change this design right away :(

I'll see you on Day 14!
