Today's mani is something I've been thinking about doing for a long time. First because I love animal prints lately, zebra especially, and I love pink and second because the pattern and colors I used match my iphone cover perfectly and little things like that make me happy! For colors I used 2 coats OPI Alpine Snow, it was opaque and smooth with one coat but I just like to use 2, then I used a coat of SV for quick dry. I stamped with ORLY Oh Cabana Boy using Konad plate M57, then put one final layer of Seche Vite.

I love stamping my nails, once you get the hang of it it doesn't take very long and always looks nice. My nails are in terrible shape right now, partially because I started biting them again (bad me!) so they are short and partially because my winter skin is dry and my cuticles look awful. Despite the bad shape my nails are in I got so many compliments on this mani when I wore it Christmas shopping! It completely made my day and of course I felt the need to explain the stamping process to everyone who mentioned my nails! I definitely recommend it to anyone who has never tried it, the stamps are fairly inexpensive on Amazon and its so simple!
