Hidey ho! Another day, another challenge! Today in the 33DC we are doing Tribals. Can you hear me groaning from there? Yeah, I almost hate tribal designs. They're up there with those ikat designs in that I just don't dig 'em. They can be cool, and I actually kind of liked the ones I did today, but you can bet if I'm not doing them for a challenge, I'm just not doing them period.
Tribal Print.
Tribal.
I'm sorry, in advance, if I offend any of my lovely readers when I say this - but I hate the tribal nails fad, I hate tribal tattoos, I am just not a fan of anything that ever has the word "Tribal" in it. Ick.
This was one of my least favorite days of the challenge, but luckily thanks to Mash and Bundle Monster, I was able to stamp my way through it....
So I started with a white base, 3 coats of Revlon Powder Puff Matte Suede (which, is actually matte, unlike some of their Matte Suede line!) Then I stamped in tri-color using The Balm/Hot Ticket in Better Off Red, China Glaze Holly-Day and Konad Black.
Plates I used were: Mash 41, 42 and 45 and Bundle Monster 315. Finished with BL Matte top coat. And to top it all off, this terrible mani smeared because I didn't wait long enough to top coat it. Oh well!
Check out the other ladies' tribal print mani's today!
