Wild, Wild Nails! (And a swatch!)

And once again, the blog is all set up and tidy, apologies to the few people who may have visited while the blog was in the middle of customisation, it must've looked a mess!
To (hopefully) make up for that, I have this post for you! You're being spoilt today with all of the new things, aren't you? :D
Anyway! It's time to go wild!
Rawr?

For these nails, I have used OPI Alpine Snow as the white base... (Swatch time!)


(Sorry for the mess on these, I should've tidied them up a bit before taking pictures, but it was cold and like 1am...!)

I've then added Barry M Burgundy Croc Effect crackle onto 4 nails of each hand

I have absolutely no idea why it's called 'croc' effects because this really isn't like scales of a crocodile! But I do love it anyway hehe!

The zebra/white tiger nails are done using Andrea Fulerton's Black Dot & Flick striper-part, though any striper, or even a thin paintbrush and some black polish, will work just as well! Just carefully draw some wild-looking stripes onto your nail. Don't worry if they look a bit wobbly either, it makes it more realistic than completely straight stripes!
And voila, wild wild nails, cute style! ;D


Do you like these nails? If you try them out yourself, I would love to see some pictures! You can post a link in a comment, or tweet me @Nail_Parade :)
Hope you like all the new designy stuff!

How To: Gradient Nails

Gradient nails are a great way to ensure that your mani matches your outfit over a set period of days (depending on how many colours you use), and it also just looks pretty dang awesome. You've seen a few of my own mani's where gradients have been used (these ones below, in example), especially those in more recent posts! So a tutorial is definitely long overdue- I hope you find it useful!
