Outline/Zebra-Print Nail Art!

Hey my lovelies!

I know I haven't posted in awhile, sorry about that! :( 

But I have some pretty nail art that I did over the weekend to show you! :) 

My nail-spiration for these actually came from Pinterest, I saw a lot of people mixing bright colored outlines and animal print, so I decided to give it a try! And of course, that leads to pink and zebra stripes obviously! ;p  

 

This was my first real try at outline nails, (other than my playstation nails) and I like how it turned out!  

I used the un-named pink for the Kiss - Nail Artist Paint & Stencil Kit, and the White and Black Konad Stamping Polishes. I've found that stamping polishes have a really good formula/consistency for nail art! (I still need to practice my actual stamping, so far my attempts haven't been very picture-worthy. :p) 

That's all for today! What do you think about the Animal Print + Bright Colors trend that's going around? Let me know in the comments! I like it, I think you'll probably be seeing more manis along those lines from me! :) 

Flip/Flop February Day 19: Wings/Outline. (Gamer Girl Nails!)

Hello lovelies!! :) it's time for Day 19 of the Flip/Flop February Challenge!

Today's Flip/Flop was Wings/Outline, and since I recently did some butterfly wing art before the start of this challenge, I decided to go with the flop and do outline!

I wanted to get creative with it and not just do a boring old two-tone mani, so I thought about and came up with something really fun! What do I think of when I think of outlines? Well, as sone of you may or may not know, I'm a nerdy gamer girl, so when I think outlines, the first thing that came into my mind where the buttons on my favorite console... Playstation! I've been a Playstation gamer since the PS1 came out all those years ago. Last year my sister and I split the cost and bought a PS3 together.

So I made the buttons!! :D these are sooo geeky and fun and I love them. They didn't come out perfect, but it makes me want to just button mash my pinky and upper-cut everyone!! Mwahaha.

For this mani I used a base color of Sally Hansen - Graphite Gravity, and for the buttons (L to R) I used:
Ulta - In The Lime-Light
ELF - Fab Fuchsia
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - The Real Teal
N.Y.C. - Big Apple Red
Then for the PS logo I used Sinful Colors - Snow Me White and sealed it all off with a coat of Seche Vite top-coat! :)

And hey! Press that ring finger and JUMP on over and check out the other bloggers! (I'm dork, I know. Sorry I'm not sorry! :p) :
