MoYou London 31 Day Nail Art Challenge: Day 17 Fun

Hey stamparistas,

Welcome to day 17 and a bundle of fun!  I was so happy about this theme because it was almost what I call a fill in the blank, meaning I could choose any answer to the question I wanted and would likely still be right.  I chose to do a tribal themed mani for this challenge since you know I love a good tribal.  In addition, I find playing around with my colors and lining up the pieces to create a cohesive whole loads of fun.  I want to tribal the world, but for now let's start with the nails..

I chose Zoya Rue and Blu because I wanted a very neutral palate to create the tribals and then add a very cool tone to make the accents pop.  Blu is one of those ultra light ultra soft blue polishes that is essentially a neutral color of it's own.  I love it and as usual with my Zoya's the formula was flawless. One thing I love about nail art is you can take a polish that is miles away from where you are when you finish.  For instance before I added my stamping this mani was so soft.

When I started this look I knew I didn't want to just do tribal prints but to add another element.  Immediately I thought of dream catchers.  They are wildly popular nail art mani's these days and I knew I had some cute ones on my plate which is how I picked Explorer 11.  Again of all the collections MoYou has released the Explorer and Suki Collections remain my favorites even today.  I hope they keep adding to them forever!

So what did you think? Shockingly bright given that I started out with two very soft neutrals.  I want to use more dreamcatchers in the future since I'm really happy with how this came out.  Thanks so much for reading and see you next post...
