Nails: Monkey See, Monkey Do - Ombré Animal Print

I first saw this as a tutorial from CutePolish on YouTube, and thought I ought to give it a go as it has been a while since I freehanded some leopard print nails. I think it worked great other than the topcoat smudging on my ring finger, plus I much prefer purple to pink!

Time Period Challenge: 1920's

So I could have gone all Great Gatsby with the nails today, then I was thinking of doing a semi-opaque pinky wash, but that wasn't really interesting enough for me. Ended up going to a half moon which originated in the 1920s, with a rounded french tip, I found my inspiration from here.

31 Day Challenge: Inspired by Childhood

During my childhood I lived pretty much in the middle of a field. 90% of the time surrounded by sheep and occasionally by cows. When the sheep were lambs they would escape from the fields as the fences weren't lamb proof, sometimes I would come out of my bedroom and find lambs in the hallway. Which is where the inspiration came from today:
