Sorry for the delay in getting these last designs up! I actually did finish the challenge in April, but just didn't get around to posting! For the animal print challenge I decided to do a color blocked leopard print, because leopard print is always good.
I began with a base of
OPI Baring it All, which is a nice mid-tone nude. I then used
OPI A-taupe the Space Needle, more Baring it All,
and
Nicole by OPI Others Pale by Kim-parison to apply a gradient to each nail. I wanted a bit more brightness, so I sponged some
China Glaze White on White onto the very trips of each nail. I then added one coat of
Sinful Colors 24 Karat to give it all a sparkly finish.
Once that was dry I blocked off sections with some striping tape, then filled in portions with
China Glaze Liquid Leather. I then used a dotting tool to draw in some leopard spots with more Liquid Leather. The centers of the pattern spots were colored yellow with an unnamed ORLY goldenrod yellow (FBI40037?). It's such a pretty yellow; I have no idea why it wasn't named. As a last touch I added champagne colored nail gems to my index and pinkie nails.
