Today's challene is Tribal Print, and I have to be honest...I love tribal manis on other people. I love looking at them. But they just look weird on me. They just don't fit my personality at all. It probably doesn't help that I live in the Southwest, so everything out here is covered in tribal prints. Thankfully I managed to come up with a variation of tribal print that I think fits me little better.
I started with a base of Spoiled by Wet N Wild Kickin' The Habit, an awesome fuchsia crelly. Then I taped off my nails and added a stripe down the center with Spoiled Distant Memory. Using Bundle Monster plate BM221, I stamped a tribal design over the top using Konad Black. I have to tell you, once I had the stripe done I really wanted to leave it at that. It looked really cool! But since it's a challenge mani, I kept going. My stamps aren't placed perfectly, but it's really hard to stamp when you're loaded up on albuterol. I have a cold, which means my delicate little lungs needed some extra meds to help stay open and clear, and they make me really shaky. Despite that, I do like how this turned out!
I have to say that I like this much more than last year's tribal mani....I actually took my inspiration from tribal designs hanging on the wall of Outback Steakhouse. I had Outback Nails. Funny, but yeah......
Anyway...enough of my babbling! Dayquil is making me all loopy. Here is my take on Tribal Nails:
Not perfect, but highly passable IRL. Although I really want to wear Kickin The Habit with just the stripe of Distant Memory sometime. This is definitely a more "me" Tribal mani, though. In fact, I haven't bothered to take it off yet! Mostly because I have another darned cold and am slightly miserable. ;)
