Wild Weekend Mani

Woot! It's Friday! Weekend Mani time!

It's amazing what secrets nail polish has revealed in my family. For example, I have known my husband for 20 years and never had an inkling that he likes animal print. So off I went to find some animal print nail art! He loves it. His response was "Oh hell yes!"

I took inspiration for this mani from Mod Nails' Matte Leopard Nail Tutorial. I love the look and wanted to try to recreate it.

I used:
  • Seche Vite Ridge Filler basecoat
  • China Glaze - Fast Track (3 coats for coverage and I liked the slightly shimmery, tawny look)
  • China Glaze - Mahogany Magic (for the spots)
  • Julep - Fiore (for outlines of the spots and ruffian nails)
  • Essie - Matte About You

I tried to freehand the ruffian nails. I probably won't do that again without a lot more practice. 
Maybe a zebra print next?

Wishing everyone a wild and wonderful weekend!
