#31DC2014 - Day 13: Animal Print

Oh animal print. When I first got into nail art all I wanted to be able to do was cheetah and zebra print. When I ordered my first Konad supplies, I had to include plate m57 just for the animal print.

For these nails, I decided to try out drawing zebra print. I used Love & Beauty - Ivory for the base, Kleancolor - Metallic Orange for the gradient, and a Kiss nail art striper in black for the stripes. These came out looking like tiger print.

All animal print everything. I told you I love animal print. <3

Knott's Berry Farm Adventures & Zebra Nails

A coupla weeks ago, I went to Knott's Berry Farm with my family. For those who don't know, Knott's Berry Farm is a theme park in Southern California, home to Charlie Brown & The Peanuts, Camp Snoopy, lots of fun rides, Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant, and boysenberry everything. It's awesome!

I did my nails with regular zebra print to match my shorts using Konad m57 and Wet N' Wild Wild Shine French White Creme and Black Creme. I had originally thought of trying out a frame manicure but it was 2am and I had to get up early the next day to get in as much valuable time as possible going on rides. :]

If you go to Knott's, this is what you'll see at the gate. This is the Silver Bullet. I sat that one out but my cousin and uncle were brave enough to go on it!

Here's my cousin and I, can you tell we're excited? I'm on the left with the Cookie Monster hat. Our swag was at 100% that day. Heck, any occasion when I can unabashedly wear my Cookie Monster hat is an occasion when my swag will be at 100%! Also, I kind of hate the word swag because of how overused it is! Yay!

That's us in jail. The picture that no theme park visit is complete without. Don't ask me what's up with my pose. It's very Vogue Zoolander-ish, don'tcha think? I think some of the people at the park wanted to toss us in real jail because of how loud we were.

We ate lunch that day at Pink's. Pink's is a world famous hot dog place in Hollywood and they decided to open one up at the park. Of course, I ate before we got there, so I wasn't hungry. I did however snag some food from my relatives and I must say it was quite good. :]

That's us in Pink's. See that big wooden coaster in the background? That's Ghostrider. I rode it once and still can't believe that I did. It was closed that day though, which kinda sucked.

This is outside of Pink's. Wanna know what's behind it?

For some reason, my cousin and I kept giggling at this. We were sitting right by it inside. Imagine if someone did stick their head through the hole and got stuck?

That's all! The family vacation picture reel is over. Knott's is one of my favorite places to go to. <3 Hope you all enjoyed it!

Miss DeVious DiVa Likes Rebecca Likes Nails

Hey guys, the title there pretty much speaks for itself. I've been a fan of Rebecca's nail art since Emerald Sparkled featured her on her site with her polka dot hearts mani ummm a year ago? I don't even remember haha.

I didn't really want to take off my Hunger Games mani but it started chipping and the glitter was coming off. AND I kinda HAD to enter this contest. HAD TO. Just because of the 5 themes of the contest, because I love all 5 of those too.

I based part of it off a mani that I remember Rebecca did based on a pink and silver dress she found on Pinterest. That's where that came in, and I decided to do a sideways gradient. I stamped the animal print and I did the Hello Kittys & the bows by hand with a toothpick.

Here's my left hand:

I used:
China Glaze - Millennium (base on pointer, middle, & pinky fingers)
Sinful Colors - Bianca (part of gradient, base on thumb & ring fingers, Hello Kitty's nose & bow)
Pure Ice - Crush (part of gradient, bow on thumb & ring fingers)
Claire's - Snow Ball (Hello Kitty's head, outline on bow)
Konad M57
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - Black Creme (animal print stamping,  Hello Kitty's eyes & whiskers)

I hope you guys like it! It's been a rainy day out here in Cali so there wasn't any sun to take pics in. Good luck to everyone entering the contest!

Pink Zebra

Hey guys, this is a mani that I did awhile back for a birthday party. I decided to match my nails to my dress.





Sinful Colors - Bianca
Konad Special Polish - Black & Plate M57

I still need to get a good topcoat that won't smear the black Konad polish.

Here's a pic of me in the dress:


Some of you may know that I rap. Here's a vid from that night, a freestyle I wrote to Eminem & Rihanna's Love The Way You Lie.



Hope you guys enjoyed it. I wanna do some fun Christmas manis before the big day next week, but I got a lot of stuff still to do. I wish wrapping and rapping were the same, I'd get it all done a lot faster haha.
