Snow Leopard
10 Dec
Yeah, I’m calling this my snow leopard manicure. Isn’t it pretty? I love how soft the colors are, yet the pattern makes such a dramatic statement. This is only my second endeavor into leopard print. It’s so easy, I don’t know why I’ve waited so long to try it again. 
You know what’s a bit strange about it though, even with a coat of Seche Vite topping it off, it still looked like it had a sandy texture. It didn’t have that glassy look Seche Vite usually gives. An additional coat could have probably fixed that. Oh well.
I did this freehand and used Icing Glimmer as the base color, O.P.I. Swedish Nude for the light spots and Cult Nails Power Thief for the darker spots. I feel kinda bad using Cult Nails polishes for nail art. Like it should be the star of the show and be worn all by itself. Really, a polish is a polish, right?
You know, I don’t know if it’s because the Seche Vite didn’t smooth it or what, but in the pictures it almost looks like fur, which is perfect! I love the colors and how you did your spots too. I wouldn’t have changed a thing.
You’re right Genie, it does look fur-ish. Thanks!
Woah so pretty.
I actually like the “sandy” texture. It almost makes the base color look like fur. Really fitting!
I think I need to do this as a full mani and wear it for a few days. I loved it so much! Maybe I should let my nubby nails grow out first.
Thanks for the compliments ladies!
