E is for Elephant!

I'm going slightly out of order on the Alphabet Nail Challenge, but I'm on the right letter so it's okay, right? I'll post my "E is for Elegant" design sometime soon. 

Anyway, 

E is for Elephant!


This design was heavily inspired by this manicure. I changed up the background a bit, but tried to recreate the elephant. I am so incredibly happy with how they turned out. 


The light blue base polish is Zoya Blu - one of my favorite polishes! I did a light gradient with Sinful Colors Sail La Vie. Everything else was done with acrylic paint and topped with NYC Matte Top Coat (use that for every manicure it seems!)


I have this problem called my fingers never want to line up correctly therefore "mural" nail designs never look right in pictures. Lets pretend the elephants butt is lined up with the rest of its body. 

Thank you for reading!
