31DC2013 Day 13: Animal Prints

Hi guys!

It's animal prints day! I have never made any kind of animal prints mani, somehow the idea is just not appealing to me. This is one of the good things about doing this challenge, I am forced to create something out of my comfort zone or something that I thought I didn't like. 

There isn't really much option for animal prints, and I chose to do leopard prints over a gradient. I honestly think this is far from a good leopard mani, but this design is very forgiving. It's one of those nail art that can still look good even if you didn't do a good job at it.

The polishes I used for this mani are all from Butter London Color Clash collection that I recently got from giveaway hosted by Butter London Canada and Nails by Kayla Shevonne blog. Yay! :) For the gradient, I used Cake-Hole and Pimms. For the leopard prints I used a combination of Giddy Kipper & Cake-Hole and Wellies & Giddy Kipper. The next pics are the matted version, I used Butter London Matte Finish top coat here.

Hope you like it! :)
