G is for Gage...er... I mean Giraffe!
I did this manicure for the son of a dear friend of mine who likes giraffes!
First I did two coats of China Glaze Lemon Fizz. Then I stamped using Sinful Colors Nirvana.
Overall, I am a bit disappointed with the end result of this, as the image on the plate (MASH 20) was too small to cover my entire nail, so on all but the pinkie (don't look at the pinkie!), I had to double stamp, then go back over a few areas with my brush and remover to try and separate some of the spots.
Then, I mattified it, because hey, giraffes aren't shiny. Not entirely sure what happened on the pinkie, but I think it's a result of overzealous clean up, and that's what happens when remover hits the matte top coat. Let's just pretend that a bird flew over the giraffe....
See T? Giraffe nails aren't that hard to do, and I KNOW you have the MASH20 plate ;)
Peace.
It's very cute! One of my friends wants me to try a giraffe themed mani. It'll be free hand though, cause I totally suck at stamping!
ReplyDeletethanks :) I suck at freehand since my hands are so shaky. I figure, the more often I stamp, the better I will get at it. :)
DeleteNot bad at ll. I think it's great!
ReplyDeletethank you! still trying to get used to the idea of this matte top coat - this is the first i have used it....it's weird not having shiny nails lol
DeleteI LOVE giraffe print! This looks awesome. :D
ReplyDeletethanks so much ! :D
DeleteErmahgerd! I love this :) I actually like the pinkie best as it has a 3d effect from the double stamp. Coooooool! :D
ReplyDeletethank you :D The pinkie was the first one i stamped and the stamper sortof shifted a little when i rolled it onto the nail hah hah - it does look pretty cool tho
