Today I have decided to combine Seven Days of Sally Hansen with this challenge, to save a bit of time and effort! So we'll start off with a few plain swatches, and then we'll move onto the nail art!
Today's polish is called Yellow Kitty (err, LOVE the name!) It's a pretty pale yellow, a little more muted than the usual pastel yellow though. It's pretty much the colour of butter. For a pale colour, it has a lot of richness (again,like butter lol). It also went on fairly easily for a yellow (I often find that yellows can be streaky and tricky to apply well). This is 2 easy coats, no top coat
Apologies for the little thumb injury - the peril of cats!
This is yummy. It's not as bright as the other pastel yellow I own, but I like the slightly muted look better. And I definitely prefer it to bright yellow!
Onto the nail art! Today's choice is animal print or stripes. I guess I could have combined them into tiger stripes, but I did that for last months challenge. And leopard print! So I felt I should choose another animal. Giraffe print fit this colour, and also looked pretty easy. Here's what I came up with:
I freehanded some irregular shapes using a nail brush and 17 Tiger's Eye, a rich deep caramel colour. I didn't use topcoat, which is why it looks quite bumpy. I probably should have. Still, they look quite giraffe-y!
Remember to check out everyone elses nails!
Awesome! I love it!! I think the giraffe print is totally unique!
