Showing My Tiger Stripes - Nail Art Tutorial

I had a request on my Youtube Channel to do an animal print nail tutorial by hand (not using konad or bundle monster stamping plates.)

This one is one that was originally lost when I lost the data from my external hard drive, so it was a second attempt.  It looks MUCH better than my original.  :)

It was pretty fun to do and is as simple as a little bit of sponging and a bunch of straight horizontal lines.
It's not that original, but I hope you still enjoy it!

Materials Used:
OPI - Natural Nail Base Coat
China Glaze - Passion
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - White On
LA Colors Art Deco - Black
Seche Vite - Fast dry top coat

Cosmetic Sponge (from any drugstore)

Dirty Fence

Hey Everyone!

I LOVE this design!
I'm personally much more into the edgier nail designs than the girly one.  So, needless to say, I adore this one!  Hope you do too!
