Rainbow Leopard

Happy Blogoversary! Although I didn't start to really focus on this blog for a few months after I started it, Nails Like Lace (with some name changes along the way) has been around for a whole year, today! Very exciting!! =D

Anyway...


I replaced the other day's tiger and leopard print fail with yet another fail today! =D

I like this one, but I don't. I wish I'd had a smaller paint brush to use (I would have just cut one down, but I use all of the ones I have the way they are), that'd I'd been more careful on base color application, and that I'd made it look more like leopard print than wonky polka dots. =P

Regardless, I used Sally Hansen Whirlwind White as the base, acrylic paints for the spots, and an unnamed L.A. Colors glitter from the High Impact Glitter collection on top.








I suppose I like this one more than the gold look from the other day, but this one still won't last long. I'd like to try it again after I get a smaller brush (and maybe a better white polish), though!

Have you perfected the animal print yet or is that a look you steer clear of?

Buenos días. =)

Thank you!! xD They are actually pretty easy to do! :)
LOL, don't be so hard on yourself :)
I like animal print, and just finished a 2 week animal print theme - but perfected no, that would be boring LOL

Thank you! I love freehand, but I'm terrible at stamping animal prints! =P Plus I like that with freehand, each one is different. :)

Thank you!! :D They are actually super easy to freehand! I was surprised at how simple it actually was when I tried for the first time. Stamping animal prints is actually what I have a harder time with! ^.^

The pictures where it's farther away look more like leopard! I do like the idea of that as dots too though! I love leopard print, but I use my stamp for it! Happy Blogaversary!!

Stop calling these fails! I really like this one! I love the colors and the freehand aspect so quit it! Also congrats on your anniversary! Woohoo!

Thank you! :) They just don't seem to be coming out on my nails the way I imagine. That's why I call them only semi-fails! =P
