80's Inspired Zebra Nail Design

Today I answered a question on a blog I am following.

The Question was: "Who was/is favorite female cartoon?"
Of course I am going to answer She-Ra and Jem and the Holograms.. 2 bad ass old school cartoons. She-Ra was the sister to He-Man. And they did a whole spin off thing with her.. lol I couldnt get enough of it when I was younger. Now Jem and the Holograms was my all time favorite, it was a cartoon based off an all girls 80's rock band. What could be better a kick ass cartoon thats features jammin music and a female as the main character.. lol This show inspired this look I did... (click on pictures for full size)

This is a quick easy to do design. Its perfect for an 80's themed party with a modern twist or if you just want a bright design this is perfect for you. I love it!
 
 
 
I used these 3 colors for this design. From left to right: Teal or No Teal (227C) From Wet'N'Wild fast dry collection and 2 Kiss Nail Striper polishes in white and neon pink
 
 
To create this simple look just paint 2 coats of Teal or No Teal than take your white striper polish and make a animal print. Now don't worry if your not sure you can do this animal print.. the less perfect you are the better. Evey animal is diffrent and thats what makes each of them unique.  :-)
Now take your neon pink striper brush and lightly go over the white. You want to make sure you leave just a tiny bit of white still showing. This will give your design depth.. glitter polish can do the same.
 
This design can be down in a huge variety of colors and polishes.. So go try your hand at this simple design and have fun. Please feel free to comment and let me know what you think!!
