Tuesdays in 2014 will be 'Inspired by..' days

Hey all!

I have seen some fantastic manis over the last year. Too many to count, but loads that I would love to recreate. So starting today and hopefully continuing throughout 2014, I will be doing an 'Inspired by..' feature where I show off some of my favourite manis from other bloggers and show you a look I have done that is either a copy or my own take on it.

I am not the most creative blogger on the planet, but I don't claim to be either - I take lots of inspiration from other bloggers I follow through various social media, and its them that keep me inspired to keep blogging and painting my nails. 

Here is the first - I actually only saw this posted on Facebook a few days ago. It's really stunning and you can't beat a bit of animal print. I loved it so much that I went for a pretty much full on copy of it on my nails.

Here is Kristine from Pink and Polished's mani:

You can see her full post here. Stunning!

And here is my attempt at it! I hope I did it justice!

The polishes I used were:

Kate Spade by Nails Inc - Soho Silver (thanks to Rachel from Monkey Nail Art for getting me this!)

The Nail Junkie - Tea

Sinful Colors - Black to Black

What do you think? I had so many comments on these nails, even the OH liked them! Shocker!

ER31DC - Day 13 Animal Print

Hey all - another installment for the 31 Day Challenge. Today is Animal Print! 

You'll have seen I've done quite a lot of animal print lately, especially leopard print, so I had a go at my first free hand animal stripes. What do you think?

Then I added in some leopard print, just because. The colours I used were Sinful Colors Black to Black and Barry M Gold Foil Effects.
