Tiger funky french nail art

Hi, sorry for the late post. In this post I'm joining two challenges, the the 31 day nail challenge and the Where-In-The-World Challenge. In the WITW-challenge I'm at country no. 19 which is Korea, which has the tiger as their national animal. And since orange is the prompt of the 31dnc I thought it was a good choice to match them.

I made a quite simple nail art with a neon orange base (which for some reason was really hard to photograph accurate but after a while I managed..) and then I added tiger stripes at the smiley of the nail. When I was done with that I felt that something was missing so I added a clar 2MM crystal rhinestone on each nail. I'm very happy with this and I'm looking forward to do it more times and in more colors. It also made my nails look insanely long! Hope you like it too. :)

Swedish yellow and blue tiger nail art

One challenge is down, one more to go. I started with the Where in the world-challenge in January this year and my goal is to finish it before the new year. Since the 31 day challenge worked fine I'm sure I'll manage with this even though I'd say that it's harder to come up with ideas for this challenge.



Anyhow country no. 8 is my home country; Sweden and I decided to do the Swedish tiger. Of cause this is not an animal because there's no wild tigers in Sweden. It's actually a symbol used i Sweden during world war 2, mainly a reminder not to speak about military things during that time. The reason why this symbol (or the tiger to be correct) is funny is that it has a double interpretation in the Swedish language. "Tiger" could both be the animal and to keep silent, which was important during those times. I also just read on wikipedia that an English phrase with the same meaning was "loose lips sink ships".

That's the background story of that. Anyhow, my main idea was the the yellow and the blue would look cool with tiger -, or well, zebra stripes and here's my yellow and blue tiger nails;

Tiger nail art on orange neon holo gradient

Here the added result on the orange neon holo gradient I posted yesterday. I chose to make a zebra pattern, but in this case with the orange background it could be called tiger pattern, so I'll do.



I think it was fun with Tiger nails, I've actually never worn it before. However I'm ambivalent if it improved the manicure so much since the gradient "disappeared" some.

And the polishes used:
Kleancolor - Holo Orange

Kleancolor - Neon Orange
