RAINBOW ANIMALS on Everyone's Nails!


Okay so recently I've been doing SO much animal print it's unreal.

It's like an addiction that I think there should be a rehab centre for. Firstly I get addicted to nail art, and then I start seeing these wonderful rainbow animals all over the place and have to paint them everywhere!!

I'm planning to paint a slice of my wall with rainbow zebra quite soon.

For the time being, here's a few reinbow animals I did on me and some other random nails.

Or, here's shitloads of nails. Pretty pictures with captions, yay!!

It started with these. They were inspired from EVERYTHING colourful, and Zebras. I also saw Colette from SimpleLittlePleasues do an Acid Leopard nail art and it inspired me to respond it with my Zebra!

And I like to contrast my life all over the place so I painted these. I was inspired by February, my grey zebra coffee mug and the carpark full of grey, white, black and silver cars outside my flat. Seriously. That's all there were.

Ok this is gonna sound weird but I was watching the end of a cigarette burning and I imagined lots of those would look like fire leopards :)
After a few falsie tryouts I tried out this colour and animal combination...
Here is the blue and yellows on Jenny's nails. I actually had no idea how drunk I was when I was painting these... Don't worry guys. We were hanging out. She's my friend and we're well safe. I don't recommend professional nail techs and artists get drunk before painting paying client's nails. LOL!!
It always looks more appealing on the thumbs. I love thumbs. I wish they faced the same way as all the other nails though because they're hard to angle. We have "suicidal thumb" pose, where you hang your hand off the edge of the table with only your thumb hanging on to the top...

This is Jody [I hope I spelled it right] - was slightly sober-er when I painted these. My camera obviously wasn't. Awesome.


Much clearer on the thumbs, yay! Neon pink is Color Club Yum Gum. Pink base is a Franken from a load of neon pink random shizzle in my crashy nail art bag.



Okay and here's some randomers.
Rachel came to have her nails painted and I had no camera so Rachel's pic is a few days old...
And I totally did some nails for a wedding. It was my cousin but I feel well posh :)
I was kinda disappointed that she just wanted french tip acrylics cos I wanted to be all bad-ass creative and match her flower arrangement [something I am soooo not doing at mine...] but me and her mum managed to convince her to have some sexy gems on her ringfinger...


Cousin Heidi [bride] literally never has nails, ever. I turned her hands into lady hands for elegant marriage purposes, yay!
Aunty Ange [bride's mum] dress matching. I need to remember to photo the darn outfits too. Sorry :( She looked mental though. 

And these two designs were inspired by cool YouTuber IndigoNova1 - you can find tutorials for these on her channel   HERE  <<k?

Rachel wears slightly chipped plaid nails in pink. Hope I did it justice! Rachel has chippy nails at the moment I'm trying to discipline her... 
Surprisingly easy to do with my left hand, bold retro wallpaper design in pink. I loved wearing these. They look epic from far away.

So recently with my nail art and life missions I have learnt:

Don't drink and do nail art.
If you're unsure, paint it pink!
And life is a neon rainbow.

Internet cats and rainbow animals will take over the world. It's already happening... *ahem*NYAN!*ahhhem!**

I still love you guys though. Even if you do get bitten and become rainbow-zombiefied!

Tiger Nails and Crappy Topcoat...

I did tiger nails... yeah just normal tiger nails. I know it's unlike me to do something common, but it had to be done. People go insane for tiger nails in real life. I would like to say that I am NOT IMPRESSED with this topcoat: China Glaze Fast Forward.
I painted these with acrylic paint that dries suuuper fast! Waited an HOUR before topcoating and I painted it on quite thick [thats what you do when you dont wanna smudge] and I STILL had smudges. I used Seche Vite [awesome] from the middle finger to the pinky. But look at the index finger....[on the right]



Yup. I've tried quite a few topcoats before. High-end salon ones and crappy drugstore ones. They're all different but this is definitely the worst one. Luckily I got it for free with my purchase of two China Glaze polishes at Sally's. But if you want a fast dry topcoat that doesn't smudge, don't waste your money on China Glaze Fast Forward. It's awful.


I did love the base colour - it's called "Y'all come back now, ya hear?" or something like that.... hahaha. It had a kind of jelly finish after three coats. Lovely and shiny ahhhh...



My nails are short... super short. That's what I call this length anyway. Moving house takes a looooong time! They'll be back to their original length by the time I've installed my cooker...

Here's the mental video. WOOHOO!




Not much else to say... love u guys
