Leopard nail modeling, with special guest!

Today's post is a bit of a unique one! It combines two of my passions: doing nails and PHOTOGRAPHY! Some of you know this already, but I actually got my degree in photography in college. I still try to work in part time photo jobs when I can!

My sister Kelsey, who lives in California, came home for Thanksgiving and asked me if I would do her nails. I said, "DUH." We decided on a Tiffany blue leopard print pattern, to go with her new leopard jacket. Then, we decided to do a photo shoot with both items!

So, these nails were done by yours truly, and the photographs were taken by me, too. My sister did her styling -- clothes, hair, makeup, and posing. :)

Here is a close up of the manicure. I used Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Whirlwind White, China Glaze For Audrey, and Wet N Wild Black Creme. The pattern was freehanded with a dotting tool.

Check out them claws!

This is, of course, a small sampling of the photos that we did during the shoot. We also did some sibling pics after my 12 year old brother started photobombing us...

Anyway I think that this shoot turned out great, and I love the nail color combination, too! This was a fun departure for me from my regular nail posts, and I hope you enjoyed seeing a peek of another passion of mine!
