Throwback Thursday: Hot pink safari

Hi lovelies,

It’s time for another throwback even if they are cringe worthy.  

If you missed the first one you can have a look here and don’t forget to check our MamaZombie Mumbles to see what she is recreating today as well.  Today I am recreating the hot pink safari I did ages ago.  It wasn’t my first choice but I have been itching for pink and leopard print so I knew I had to do this.  2 birds 1 stone right?  Let me show you what I did all those months ago.  (No judgies)

The best right?  Let me show you how I recreated it…

 

I started off with 2 coats of China Glaze – You drive me coconuts on all my nails and left that to dry completely.  Once it was dry I used an Essence stamping plate and Essence stampy polish in black to stamp my thumb, index and part of my middle nail.  I did my middle nail by taping off a section, stamping and removing the tape.  When the stamping was dry I taped over the stamped piece and did leopard print on the rest of the nail.  I did leopard on part of the middle nail, ring and pinky using China Glaze – Something sweet for the lighter pink.  I then used Sinful Colors – Black on black for the black outlines.

I am not sure if I really improved on the original – except for the stripes of course – but I love the pink and the prints.  I wish the stamping was more opaque and solid but I think it’s just the plate.  It is also the only one I have that print.  What do you think?  I am so in love with the pink everywhere.

Thanks for reading,
