NOTD: Leopard Print With Complimentary Colors!

Monday, August 10, 2015

So this manicure was the result of the classic "I'm stuck between two colors and I have no idea which one to chose" dilemma. I ended up just going with both since I really couldn't decide!


Polishes used:
China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle (bright teal crème)
China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy (neon coral-y pink crème)
Wet n' Wild Black Crème (black crème)

I actually started by painting all my nails with one coat of TYTH. Then I was thinking "I've really been wearing a lot of blues and teals lately... I need something different." So I pulled out FFF, stared at the two bottles for a while, then decided on just doing some accent nails! I removed TYTH from my middle and ring fingers on my left hand, and my index and middle fingers on my right hand. Then, I re-painted them with FFF.

I used the same technique for the leopard print as I explained here. I used the same dotting tool, which was the smaller end of the yellow dotting tool from this set. Once I finished though, I used two coats of top coat instead of just one. It may be because I just got a new bottle of top coat so it's still pretty thin, but I find that even with a generous amount, there's still some texture that shows through from the leopard print. So, I used two coats to avoid that.

Honestly, I was a little concerned that this manicure wouldn't look good since the colors are so different from one another (in neon-ness and in color), but I think the leopard print really tones that down and kinda pulls it all together!

Thanks for reading!
