Wild Things


Have you seen these leggings from the Leah McSweeney line?! So dope! It's too bad they're currently sold out!

I really dig the bright, vibrant design, so I decided to do a mani inspired by them. Here's my take on the  florals:

Surprisingly, it didn't take as long as some of my other designs! The pattern on the leggings isn't too intricate, so I didn't have to get worked up on the minor details.


I really like how it turned out. I'm currently living away from home (and away from most of my polishes and nail art brushes!) so I had to layer a bunch of polishes to get the shade I wanted. I ended up layering with a bunch of jellies, and it added a whole new dimension to my design!


What do you think of my hand poses? I did a bit of experimenting haha.


Thanks for looking!

I wish I had a model's figure (or even a slightly less curvy one!) so I could rock pieces like these leggings without looking like I've been attacked by rabid wallpaper. I like your nail art much more, lol! That's beautiful!

Those nails are CRAZYAWESOME! Fantastic job shading and giving so much texture to these (especially without your brushes!). They look even cooler than the leggings themselves!
