Digit-al Dozen: Black Zebra Print

Greetings and Nailutations!

I am back with another Digit-al Dozen week!  The theme this week is black.  What I love about Digit-al Dozen is that each theme can be interpreted in so many different ways.  For me this week I was focused ONLY on the color black.  I had to really push myself looking at different finishes and techniques.


Now let's get to the mani!


Products used:
Drip Drop Nail Paint: Yoga Pants
Esmaltes de Kelly: Black Soap Bubbles
Nails Redesigned: black rhinestones
Heather's Hues: Top That Top Coat





I started with a black striper making zebra print on my bare nails (oops - totally saw the staining as soon as I removed it - don't forget the base coat!).  After that dried I added 3 coats of Black Soap Bubbles from Esmaltes de Kelly.  For an accent, I used Yoga Pants from Drip Drop Nail Paint and rhinestones.  Everything is topped with Top That from Heather's Hues.


I hope you like my first mani!  Be sure to check out the other manis from my Digit-al Dozen sisters below.

Are you an animal print lover?  To me, they are nature's patterns.  :)

Happy polishing,
Kristi aka BeginNails
