Lunar New Year - The Year of the Tiger Nails Tutorial

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!!
I was inspired by the Tiger Claw and the sexy strips. I didn’t want to do a design that simply consisted of orange and stripes because that has been done. I hope you guys like it and pls send pics if you do the look.

great anyway !

I actually adore this look, and the gold stripes really complement the orange!
Beautiful look! Very creative! I like how the tiger stripes are surrounded by white and gold instead of being all orange and black. Its a more sophisticated look.
oooooooooo! i did this look! its so pretty n i received alot of compliments!
Thankyou soo much!!! I wore this to a party and the boy I like asked me out! I’m not sure if it was just the nails but they did help!!! Thx soo much again Elessa!! xx
I love the contrast between the white and the orange!
They’re pretty!

When I saw this, I HAD to go out and by the Zoya nail polish and try it it! It’s beautiful. (:

Love this! Your nails are looking great
Your ideas always inspire me…we’ll see what I come up with as a result!

Very creative. I love that it’s not ‘the usual tiger nail.
I’m going to have to give this a try! I wish I could keep my nails that long.
I loved that tutorial on youtube! Too bad I can only paint my left nails, I get really shaky for the right.
I meke this look my own by using red background and bigget tigger stripes … looks nice
This tutiorial was so inspirational for other nail designs as well. I loved the colors you used. They were very pretty.
GORGEOUS!
