31 Day Challenge, Day 13: Animal Print

Today's theme is ANIMAL PRINT! I wanted to be a contrarian and do something that I thought no one else would do, but that would also still be awesome and impressive. It took me and a friend a good bit of talking it out for me to arrive on this conclusion: A POISON DART FROG PRINT!


I started with a base of two coats of Sally Hansen HD in Laser, and then I mixed some of that with some white and randomly sponged that on. Then, after that, I sponged some plain white on top. I added the black marks with a dotting tool, and finished with SV!




I absolutely LOOOOOVE the way that this one turned out. No one will really know what it is right off the bat, but it looks interesting and fun and unique. Kind of like a Rorschach test!

    This is really good!! I love this! The white doesn't look sponged at all and before I read the text, I even thought to myself that this is a really nice blue!

    You got the blue base color to look so beautiful. I own Laser, so you've given me yet another idea of how to use a polish I have. The overall pattern on this one looks awesome!
