Animal Print Nails

The only animal print I've done before is cheetah print. I decided to change that yesterday. This is the mani I came up with:

Now a better picture (with better clean-up). Unfortunately, one of the studs fell off and I hadn't noticed until after I took the picture.

Even with the missing stud, i was very proud of these. They only took me about 20 minutes to finish(: What's your inner animal?

Monthly Mani Favorites

Yesterday, among all the easter madness, many instagrammers were posting their "Monthly Mani Favorites". This month i did not do much nail art, but the few that I did, I absolutely loved! I also ended up swatching quite a few of my un-trieds. Here are my monthly favorites:

MimisWeeklyNails 'Monthly Mani Favorites'

Starting from the top, going clockwise: 

--Simple tape mani using Hard Candy 'Beetle' and Color Club 'In the Limelight' and 'By Design'. I absolutely adore this color combo! 

--Revlon 'Scandolous' (out of all my swatches this is my absolute favorite one) If I had to pick one polish to wear for the rest of my life, I would quickly pick this one!

--Pink gradient with purple cheetah spots. This was a "Twin Nail" colaboration with @kats_kreations_

--Sunflower nails(: the only spring nails I have done so far..

--and of course, my Monsters University collaboration with @andreitus_nails! 

Sunflowers

Lately I've been seeing lots of spring-y nails around, so i wanted to join the club. I decided to do sunflower nails. As a base i used Julep - Susie, which is a beautiful light blue. i used a few different yellows to give the petals depth.

Here's the turn-out:

Over-all I was very happy with them, and I'm sure I'll end up doing sunflower nails again soon.
