Makeup Savvy Nail Challenge Day 8 - Leopard

I didn't plan to do today's challenge. Mainly because I had recently changed my nail polish remover to a harsher one and my skin's been suffering from the harshness. They were pealing after yesterday's post. And pealing bad... I thought of posting up the picture to show you how bad it became, but decided against it. It looked like I was shedding palm skin...lol. Pealed off the few excess (that were peal-able) and spam on hand creams to hydrate it. It's better now as compared to this morning. Which is why I've decided to do today's challenge (or yesterday, since its already past midnight in Malaysia, oops!)

So, for today's leopard nails, I wanted to attempt a faded look which I guess, kinda failed. Haha! They ended up looking more like neon nails instead. I'd be needing a little more trials and errors to get better ones next time. Not for the time being, because I don't think my hands can take any more acetone. And with the haze over here is really not helping =/

Anyway, leopard nails!

These are my first attempt at leopard. I sponged (yeap, finally bought some sponges) my whole way through, thinking that might do the trick for the faded look. Perhaps they need a little more alterations. Honestly, if it's not for this nail challenge, I'd probably not attempt leopards at all - they don't suit my personality. They're fun doing though! And I'm glad I gave it a try anyway :)

If the conditions of my hands do improve tomorrow, I'd be more than happy to continue with the challenge. However, if they don't.. I'm giving them at least a day rest before touching acetone again.
