Allo polish Pals!
How are you today? Are you doing
anything fun this weekend? I can't say I have much planned but that’s
also kinda cool as I can can up on swatching polishes for while I am
away in England and throw in some more mile walking work outs! I'm
not doing too bad with keeping up with the fitness so I'm quite
pleased! Do you have a favorite type of exercise that you
do? Today I decided to do something a little different and
created (well, attempted) to do a whole leopard on my nails. I'm not
really used to doing a whole design across different nails and I
found it tricky to match up the drawing!
For this manicure I used only two
polishes and a matte top coat. For my thumb and pinky I started with
two coats of Yes Love's K025 which is a very light silver and used
striping tape to create some diagonal stripes with Color Club's 'Harp
On It'. On my remaining fingers I used just 'Harp On It' and created
my leopard using my Oumaxi acrylic paints. I finished the whole thing
off with a coat of OPI's matte top coat.
There are things I don't like about
this manicure, I wasn't happy with the legs for example. That said, I
think the overall thing is quite striking in person and I hope with
more freehand nail art I will start improving on fitting small
details in.
Have you done one
design that includes many nails? What do you think of my snow
leopard?
Have a fabulous and glittery weekend!
Love
Ithi
Snow leopard ! you couldnt do better ! i like it ! head , paws , eye , print on the body... everything is so lovely ! it wasnt easy i know ,so all my compliments for you !♥♥
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Bubica! You are always so kind and supportive :) xx
DeleteHaha if I can get motivated my preference is always cycling :-D I really don't like other forms! Maybe walking if I'm in the mood!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty - I really love what you've done :-D
I know how you feel, Ananka! It can be hard to get motivated sometimes. I've always enjoyed cycling and considering here nearly everyone owns a bike and we have all the special bike paths I should look into owning a bike sometime! Thank you so much for your compliments :) xx
DeleteIthi, this is awesome! You are so talented my dear <3
ReplyDeleteI am running from time to time or at least walking... ;)
Have a nice weekend!
Thank you so much, Fife! I'm glad you liked it :D I'd love to do running but I think I look like Pheobe from friends when I run and I started it a while ago but I ended up doing damage to my legs - I am always in admiration of those who run and hope one day to try again! xx
DeleteThis is simply great, I love it :D
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing Ithi!! The snow leopard is stunning, I think you did such a good job! I think his legs look great btw, it really looks like he is walking :) I have never done one design across all my nails but I can imagine it's really hard!
ReplyDeletevery well done, love it <3
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning! I'm blown away. I love the spots and I think the pose is great.
ReplyDeleteI have done one multi-nail design, a Viking longship. It looked great but sadly I this was before I started blogging so I don't have any photos.
For exercise, I like walking, playing sports (I play field hockey) and swimming when it's hot enough. :)
This is amazing! You are so talented :) your snow leopard came out perfect, he's so cute too!
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute! You are such a great painter! I haven't tried that before... I go to a fitness center once a week to keep my back healthy.
ReplyDeleteSuperb. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI really like the way this turned out! I tried to do handwriting across my nails with one letter on each nail and I found it was a bit hard to line up from nail to nail.... I think it was easier to get away with it not matching up for that design than your leopard though... This is definitely more challenging! Great job :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow these really are amazing !! I learned about snow leopards from David Attenborough lol an this represents them so well! Fab work!
ReplyDeleteI took part in a Lily Allen nail art competition once and I did the design all over my nails like this :) x
