Good Morning my loves!
Today is the last day in the Digit-al Dozen's Animal Week and today I have my absolute best nail art I have ever done I think. About a month and a half ago my family got a brand new puppy! We got a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and named her Zoey. She is quite possibly the cutest and best dog ever so I decided to do a portrait of her! I'm way too excited about these so here is my Zoey!
Gah I'm so proud of that one nail its slightly ridiculous. Zoey is now 13 weeks old and the most playful little thing that just wants to crawl into your lap and snuggle once she's tuckered out. She's rather perfect and has managed to bring my husky, Shila, out of a depression after we had to put our golden retriever, Lacey, down in September. Here are the two of them together!
It's really funny watching them play because Shila just sits there and has to move her head and occasionally her front paws while Zoey bounces around her and occasionally jumps on top of her.
On my thumb I used Cult Nails Fetish and then wrote Zoey in Cult Nails Tempest and then added a heart with Dollish Polish Lipstick Around Your Dipstick. I left it without top coat because I loved the textured look of Fetish. On my paw print nails I used Tempest as my base coat and then did the paw prints with a dotting tool and Fetish. On my pinky there are two coats of Fetish.
On my Zoey nail I started with two coats of Cult Nails Manipulative, which you can't really see anymore because I covered most of it up lol. Then I used Tempest, Fetish, China Glaze Desert Sun and OPI You Don't Know Jacques for my portrait of Zoey. I used my smallest nail art brush and a dotting tool to create her. I did a lot of blending the colours to get some definition and it took a few different tries to get the right look on her mouth especially.
I'm really in love with these, if you couldn't already tell haha. I'm going home again today and get to see my puppy again which I'm pretty excited for. I mean look at this picture of her, she's just ready to play!
I'm sure you're either bored of looking at my dog, or want to hop on a plane and come meet her haha. I love these nails are am super proud of them. I hope you guys like them as much as I do!
Make sure you check out the rest of the Digit-al Dozen nails that my friends have done :)

DeleteWow! Zoey is adorable both on your nails and in pictures. I'm so glad she was able to get Shila out of her depression. A similar thing happened to my cat Yoshi when his buddy Jasper passed away several years ago. He perked up when I brought home another kitty, Missy May, and now they are friends. :)
ReplyDeleteit is so funny how you can really tell when they aren't happy! I'm glad your Yoshi is feeling better now :)
Deleteawww she is precious!!!
ReplyDeletethanks Missy!!
DeleteShe is so adorable and the nail art looks perfect! I'm determined that I will have a Cavalier again once I get a dog of my own. They are such good dogs!
ReplyDeleteaww thanks Ashley!! They really are, I am going to need one too once I can have my own dog :)
DeleteThat's some amazing painting!
