vacation nails!

Hey everyone! In just a few short hours I am leaving for DISNEY WORLD!
Things will be quiet around here (as usual lately... haha) but I do have a few things scheduled so that it isn't just silent.
I'll no doubt be posting a lot on Instagram and maybe if the mood strikes I will even tweet. Who knows!

Now, la pièce de resistance... Vacation nails!!

These nails are actually done with soak off gel! I only wear gel myself when I am going away so that I don't have to worry about my nails (except for worrying about getting bored with the gel and ripping it off on day 4!)
I knew that putting on purple and teal and animal print would give me the best chance at not getting sick of it. So I used two of my favorite colors from my favorite gel line!
Artistic Color Gloss - Fly & Artistic Color Gloss - With It

To do a gradient with the gel polish, you simply paint half the nail with one color and the other half with the next, and use a small (clean) brush to mix the two where they meet. It may not look the best on the first coat, but the second coat really brings it together and smooths it out.

I added the zebra AND leopard stamp from Konad m78 for maximum animal print. Ha!

Love it!

There are sooooooOOOOOooooOOOOOooo many malls in Florida... So much to buy... I can't imagine how I'm gonna bring it all home! I'll find a way ;)
