Rivière De Coco: Nail Art - Tropical Leopard and Flamingo

Hey,

So today I thought I'd do another nail art post. I actually did these a while ago back in February before I went on my holiday to Dominican Republic but they are one of my fave nail arts I have done. I had seen a few flamingo nail art pictures on blogs and decided to try it out on my thumbnails. It was kind of tricky as you pretty much have to draw it upside down so what I did was got a picture of a cartoon flamingo off Google and turned it upside down to copy that which I find much easier than thinking about drawing an upside down flamingo too much haha!

So yeah, I decided to use tropical colours for the back ground and leopard print. I used Ciate's "Headliner" (Pictured) which is a gorgeous bright turquoisey blue for the background - I got this from my Ciate Mini Mani Month nail varnish calendar in December '12 and it is still going strong however I think I will buy the full size soon as it really is my perfect colour! For the spots and the main flamingo I used OPI's "Elephantastic pink" which is another fave. For the lighter pink part of the flamingo I used OPI's "Pink Friday" from the Nicki Minaj collection. For the eyes and going round the spots I used my Models Own WAH nail art pens in Black and White.

So yeah, they're very summery I might try some soon with tropical ombre background with flamingos mix it up a bit?
