NOTD: Orly Pink Chocolate + Zebra stripes

Hi guys! I have a lot to post for the following days! Our internet connection was down for the past days hence the lack of post. Now I'm back with a NOTD! Which was actually done two days ago. 

Ta-dah! Did I scare you? Hahaha. Hope not.

I used  Orly in Pink Chocolate as a base color and a black nail polish that comes off with a striping brush for the zebra stripes.

I love animal prints! Easy to do if you have mastered it already.

Also effortlessly chic and striking! If you want a simple yet striking mani, go for animal prints! Just play with colors. :)

That's all for today! Watch out for the upcoming posts!
What do you think about animal prints? :)

God bless!

Orange nails and orange walls

These nails were done during the repainting of our house. Our walls were painted orange, haha yes, annoying orange! But it looked good, eventually. Got used to it! And so I also painted my nails with the same shade of orange. I loved it! Which is unusual. :)

I used Caronia Sun Kissed. The photos are not color accurate. They appeared brighter than the actual.

I looooooooooove it! But I took it off after 2 days cause it annoys me at times. :p I don't know what's with orange. But it gets annoying.

Stamped it with zebra prints. And I tried the watercolor effect on my thumb. I didn't do it well. It was lumpy!!

That's it! Good night!

Zebra gradient nails!

Gradient zebra!

As I said in my previous post, I was inspired by Rebecca's gradient nails stamped with zebra prints. You can check her tutorial here. Well, hers is way better than mine. Sadly, my nails are too short to display all the three colors (yellow, orange and pink). I can't wait for these to grow longer!

A closer look. 

I enjoyed doing this mani! Gradients are fun to make, the end results will always surprise you! I never knew that these three colors would look good together. But, thanks for the great idea, Rebecca! Zebra lines were done freehand. My stamping skills were not yet good enough, I cannot transfer images well. I shall practice!

My DIY dice ring. :D Yes, i love DIYs too!

This is the best that I could do. I will do gradient more often! :> Goodnight, ladies!

Back to back! Leopard & Zebra Nails

I cannot swatch my OMG polishes just yet! My nails are still very short as of the moment. For the meantime, I'll just show you my leopard and zebra nails. I love making animal patterns on nails! They're so easy and fun to do.

For leopard nails, any light brown/beige polish would do. For this one, I used: base: Bobbie - Touch of Tan, spots: Caress Brown, black lining: black nail art pen

I was inspired by my comforter/blanket at that time, so there!! You can be playful with your leopard nails. You can use different backgrounds and different spots as well. Check out rebeccalikesnails for more creative designs. I love how she does her animal prints, really creative! :)

For zebra nails, any black and white polish would do. I used a striping brush to make the stripes.

I watermarked my photos! Hahaha!

My stripes in this mani were pointed and straight. I still need practice in making curved ones. Hmm, more animal designs to come as I am very fond of them! Rebecca makes good ones! I tried her gradient animal mani and I loved it. Will post it soon! That's all for now!
