Mermaid Nail Tutorial

Cherry Blossom Nails

Safari inspired

Who does not love animal prints...especially on nails! I took the safari theme and created a set of 24 nail tips which are for sale in my Etsy store. I used an earth-tone colored palette...with nail polish and acrylic paints. The brown polish is "Little Brown Dress" by Essie...my favorite polish and one of my favorite colors...I used black polish with a striping brush to create the zebra print and the tuxedo stripe...the beige background is done in acrylic paints...I love gold elements on nails...not too much, but just enough to make them pop! See you soon :)
