Animal Print Sage Green Nail Design

This design is for my bad babes out there! Look at these gorgeous animal prints! I am a sucker for animal prints, and I have them all over my things, well, not on all my things, but on most of them.

Anyways, this design uses sage green as the base color. The sage green is painted on the thumb, ring, and little fingernails. These nails are covered in a glossy top coat.

This is a nail design for those girls who want something different and eye-catching. I know many ladies who will get this one simply because of the blings!

This nail design uses sage green, blue, purple, pink, nude, and blue glitter gel. The sage green and nude are used repeatedly in this design and are combined using an ombre technique. A large butterfly charm is then added to each ring fingernail. A rainbow using pastel colors is then painted on the middle fingernail. The blue glitter gel is painted on the underside of the nails. So when your palms are facing up, the underside of your nails still looks gorgeous.

Though I dislike long nails, I think the design is cute and fashionable. The butterfly and rainbow designs really bring out the charm of the design. At the same time, the blue glitters on the underside of the nails. Just make everything unique from any other nail designs mentioned on the list.

Painting glitter gel on the underside of your nails has been a trend. I think the attention it is getting is well justified. It gets a yes from me!
