Earth Week!

       So as many of you know, Earth Day is only in a few days. Lots of people don't care about Earth Day, but I love it, hence Earth Week! Last year, I did a green and blue theme, but with St. Patrick's Day like just happening and the blue theme that I did last week, that was like no. So instead, I'm going to do a week of colors inspired by some of the gorgeous but endangered life forms on our planet.
       To start, I chose to do one of  my most favorite animals in all of life, the snow leopard.





Ahh I love these thingies. God was totally wearing his sexy pants when he cooked them up. They live in the mountains of Asia, and don't like people. Sadly for them though, people are killing them for their gorgeous pelts and their habitats are being taken over by humans, who want to use the land for growing ugly and uninteresting animals like yaks and buffalo. Isn't that stupid? Like how is this:

better than this:
?!

Ugh, look at the yak's eyes. It even looks dumb.
Also, cat breeders? Please start coming up with a cat that resembles a miniature snow leopard. I swear, you'll make like a million dollars. Okay thanks. 
Anyway, here's the nail look I came up with:

I used two coats of Color Club Pretty in Platinum for the base, stamped/drew on the spots with Color Cub Where's the Soiree?, and filled in the spots with Sally Hansen Blue Me Away and a dotting tool (read:bobby pin). 


Sunlight, no flash.

Natural light, no flash.


Sunligh, no flash.


Sunlight, no flash.

Did it come out rather ooglay? Yeah. :(
Should I have taken more time with it? Yeah. :(
Is it sad that a simple leopard print mani came out so ooglay? Yeah. :(
Does it shame the snow leopard? Hell yeah. :(

But I tried.¯\(°_°)/¯
Thanks for reading, and have a great day! :D

Lol at you dissing yaks :p Very amusing post!

I don't think your design is ugly! I personally believe that it is impossible to screw up a leopard print. Yours looks good :)

Thanks!
I like the blue myself...grey would have been a little drab.
I love you theme. And I adore this mani. Very cute.

Thanks!
Ahh I know, sometimes I feel like hiding my face in shame. Why do people always have to mess stuff up? :(
Aw thanks, girl!
LOL @ you calling them kittehs. I guess that's what they are when you get right down to it, huh?
I think your manicure turned out lovely! And look!

My fiance sent me a picture of those Savannah cats (#3 on that list) once, saying that if we could find a cat like that, we're getting one (we're not cat people, usually - we want a dog soon :D ). But when you said you want someone to breed a snow leopard-esque domestic cat, I immediately thought of those!

DUDE. O_O
I wish I give you a hug and a kiss, because those thingies look AWESOME. There are breeders everywhere too! Ahh I will surely get one at some point in life.
The only thing is the price....at least $800. That would buy me an XBox and some games (I accidentally wrote gays o_o) and some nail polish.
I just wish they were smaller. And fluffier, like the real thing. But whatever, beggars can't be choosers, lmao!
This is so inspired! Beautiful concept and design!

Thank you so very much! ^_^
What a great idea for a theme week! I don't think the mani is as bad as you're making it out to be--just maybe a touch less blue next time. :)

Thanks!
And I'll keep that in mind for next time, lol.
I didn't get a chance to tell you earlier, but I love your Earth Week theme. My birthday is Earth Day. Maybe that's why I'm so partial to greens, lol!!!
I am especially happy to know that there is someone else who loves snow leopards. I definitely went through a phase as a child where I had my grandmother searching and calling every store trying to find a snow leopard stuffed animal.

Omg, that's tomorrow!!! Happy Early Birthday girl!

I'm amazed that more people aren't obsessed with them...they're freaking awesome, like...there really is no better animal. I wish I had one right now.

And you officially have the best family ever.
