leopard print wednesday

It's been a while...
I got some really cute coral skinny jeans and I wanted a matching mani. It didn't turn out how I wanted, but the color was perfect.

valentine leopard

leopard - cause it's been a while :)

rhinestone tiger

I'm a little obsessed with the rhinestones right now so there may be a couple more in the next few days ;)

halfsies

Its been a while since I rocked the leopard print - thought I would switch it up a bit ;)

snow leopard!

I love leopard mani's! And considering the amount of snow we got last night, it seems fitting :)

nail party in cutesville!

Two of my (self proclaimed) "biggest fans" came over today for a nail party! New to the magic of nail stamping, it's fair to say that it was pretty much love at first sight.
Thanks for an awesome afternoon ladies <3

first up is E-flo: classic leopard + bling = dope

next, Rza: 10 different designs like you've never seen before (check out the unicorn with an upside down cowboy hat on the left thumb)

last but not least, cutesville:

wild cat!

A fun little leopard mani in red and blue <3

V gap + zebra = awesome

This mani was inspired by an adorable zebra print dress I got today - hopefully I'll remember to get a pic of it tomorrow ;)
 I used Bundle Monster plate BM-223:

military leopard

I finally got my hands on the new OPI military green - the name is a little odd, Uh-Oh Roll Down the Window, but I really do love the color.
 I used image plate BM-221 tonight, 59 plates to go ;)

classic leopard

No bells or whistles, just good old fashioned leopard print!

Zebra!

For the last mani in my alphabet nails project I choose zebra, a). because its the only thing I could think of, and b). I wanted to do an all glitter animal print. Not bad for my first attempt, but glitter sure is messy!
Not sure what to do next - states, countries that visit my blog, halloween....not quite sure but I really enjoyed having a challenge.

jaguar!

While trying to find inspiration for the letter "J" I found this post on the Houston Zoo website. In a nutshell, it says that while leopards and jaguars have incredibly similar coats, jaguars will have black spots in the middle of the dark rosettes. Although leopards sometimes have that too, so I guess that little tidbit of information is pretty much useless. Thanks anyway.

leopard love

I did these to match a dress I bought yesterday. I realized I've been using mostly image plates and I was a little nervous about doing these free-hand but  I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Wet Cement, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Sonic Boom, and Konad stamping polish in black.

They ended up being a perfect match :)
