Holographic White, Black, and Blue Zebra/Tiger Nails


Here are some zebra/tiger inspired nails! At the time I was inspired by tigers but, zebra nails usually look just like this as well. I did the black version first and a few days later wondered how white would look. Personally I prefer the black, but I was surprised how well the white turned out.

I used 2 coats of Formula X's Juju. It's hard to see in the pictures but it's holographic. It's just stunning. I think it's my favorite nail polish ever. Then for the stripes I used L.A Colors Art Deco in black and white. And lastly Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri top coat.

These really are so simple to do. When making the stripes if you find they're coming out too thick (as you can notice with some of them on me, I had a bit of trouble with that lol) try not putting as much pressure on the brush. I found that a little difficult at first. I kept putting to much pressure, but painting your nails is just like painting on a canvas. If you apply a little amount of pressure it gives a much different result than if you apply a lot. So that's just something to keep in mind! :)
