Hey lacquerheads! Today's theme is tribal print and these have been a very popular trend lately. A lot of tribal manis have a similar style and I tried that out first with one of those Sally Hansen pen/marker things. I didn't like it very much, but when I took it off, the black stained my nails and cuticles so I apologize if my cuticles look like a mess! Anyways, I decided to go with stamping because what can I say, I can't really go wrong with it lol. I used China Glaze Sunshine Pop (yellow) and China Glaze Flyin' High (turquoise) for my base colors and stamped using BM 219 and BM 221 in Konad Black, Sky Pearl, and Yellow. I quite like how these turned out!

31 Day Nail Challenge--Day 15: Delicate Print
Happy Friday! Today is delicate print nails which is something I rarely do, but I saw a mani here from Radi-D awhile back and I thought it was so beautiful that I decided to recreate it for today's challenge. I used O.P.I. Don't Touch My Tutu, added french tips using striping tape and O.P.I. Black Onyx, and stamped using Konad M57 in Konad Black. It's weird seeing something so delicate on my nails since I'm used to wearing bright colors and bold stamping patterns, but I would definitely do something like this again for a special occasion!

31 Day Nail Challenge--Day 14: Flowers
Hi readers! Today's theme is flowers and I wanted to do something much cooler, but when I was sponging different colors over my base, the light green I used turned into a gross color so I just started over and left it plain. I used Orly Flirty and stamped using BM 224 in Konad White. I added orange dots using China Glaze Papaya Punch. Does anyone else love this pink as much as I do?!

31 Day Nail Challenge--Day 13: Animal Print
When I think of animal print, I right away think of leopard or zebra print. As you can see, I tried to stay away from that and decided to do peacock print for my animal print nails today. I have seen so many beautiful peacock inspired nails, but my favorite has been this one by The Polished Perfectionist. I decided to recreate hers for today's challenge. I still like hers better, but I'm pretty happy with how these turned out! I used a base of China Glaze Holly and then did a gradient using China Glaze Holly, China Glaze First Mate, and China Glaze Grape Pop. I stamped using BM 212 in China Glaze Passion. I added dots in Zoya Ivanka, Zoya Charla, and Zoya Mimi.
