Hi everyone! I know what you're thinking ...
"Really Nicole? Another linear leopard mani?"
Yes. Another one. But there's a method to my madness, I swear!
This is another amazing bottle that I grabbed at Overall Beauty!!!
I started with three coats of Glitter Gal Light as a Feather, a white holographic. Say the words "white holographic" and try not to salivate. I know, you simply cannot.
Under artificial light, it almost has a slight grey appearance. But, in the sunlight ... .. .
Linear MAGIC!!
It is such a crisp and clean white! I honestly didn't want to stop taking pictures of it!!!
The application was a breeze and the finish is perfect!
To add a little something extra, I used Cheeky plate CH2 with Konad Special Black for the leopard print. Next, I used a dotting tool with Up Colors Azul Arco-Iris, a light blue linear, to fill in some spaces within the leopard print. At this point, you might be wondering about that whole "method to my madness" thing!
I really wanted to create a mani to match this amazingly adorable handbag that my husband and my little boys got me for Mother's Day!!!! Don't you just love it?!
I had a blast with this mani, both indoors and out! I hope you all enjoy it as well!
Happy Painting!
Stamping Plate: Cheeky CH2
