Realistic Snake Skin stamping

After doing my nails for yesterday's post I decided I wanted to try and create more realistic looking nails with the snake skin stamp!

Here's what I used:

L to R: Cult Nails In a Trance, Revlon Elegant, and China Glaze Mahogany Magic.

This is a sponge makeup applicator I used to create a sponged look for the base!

I started by painting one coat of In a Trance and then lightly sponging Elegant to lighten it and make the cool effect. I used Mahogany Magic to do the stamp with Bundle Monster plate BM-215.

Final Result: freaking cool!

I am so proud of these!

Next, I'm going to try and create a realistic giraffe print :) !
