Day 24 - Paw prints nail art!

Happy Friday everyone! After a long day at work I decided to stay in tonight because I've been feeling sick all day :( ...the good news is that I can finally get some nail art done! Today I've retried a cute design that I had a go at a couple of months ago and never got to post....paw prints. Here's the finished product:



OPI French Quarter For Your Thoughts






A light/medium dusty grey. Such an interesting colour - not many like this one around! The only other one I've tried that I can think of off the top of my head is Grey Matter by Rimmel. It does show up quite differently in different lights but it's great as a base colour for art because it's such a neutral shade, especially behind the black and white that I've used for the paw prints.


Paw Print Nail Art





Here I used my usual nail art combo: Black Onyx and Alpine Snow...I really should try some other colours but these work so well! I used a medium tipped dotting tool for the "palms" of the paws to do 3 clumped dots and then my smallest tipped tool to do the dots of the "fingers" (I'm not quite sure of the correct terminology for animal paws! haha). I also did a bone as a feature nail using a medium tipped dotting tool and a thin brush for the middle of the bone. A simple and cute design for a rainy Friday night!

Have a great evening everyone :) See you tomorrow
