Today I am showing you a mani I have wanted to make ever since I bought the Bundle Monster Kawaii Emoji collection. I fell in love with those bananas and felt like they needed to be paired with a monkey!
He's in tiny monkey heaven.
This mani started off as many do, with two coats of each different color onto my nails.
I created two decals from the banana image on this Bundle Monster Kawaii Emoji plate. I've already used this plate quite a few times, to create a rainbow jellybean mani, a veggie themed one, and a watermelon look.
I decided some bold stripes was exactly what the design needed, so I pulled out my trusty MoYou London "Holy Shapes 05" plate. Still a favorite of mine- still my most used plate.
Yeah! Monkeys! I'm really loving the banana nails though. Good colors!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm so glad I just finally got around to making this mani come to life!
DeleteHaha this is so cute! It reminds me of that old children's television show (not sure if you had it there) Banana's in Pyjamas? Oh Rachelle you really are making me want to buy all the MoYou plates! But I think I first need to practice so much more!
ReplyDeleteLove Aysh xox
Ooohh yeah I remember that show! Ha ha that was a really odd one. Thank you for your sweet words!
DeleteAwesome!!! Love the mani and I'm probably repeating myself over & over again, but I just love your use of plates together. I look at your spread and marvel how you come up with the combinations and how easy you make it all look!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I've always been into pattern mixing and have been playing with patterned paper for ages with scrapbooking and caedmaking. To me, mixing patterns on my nails is just a continuation of playing with colors and patterns together. That's part of what makes nail art so fun for me!
DeleteI bet it's super fun, and adds so much fun & whimsy to most nail art. I try to look at your pattern-mixing techniques (and others') and learn because I'm not very good at it!
DeleteGorgeous mani & I love the little monkey, it's just like the emoji.

Thank you! Yeah, the images on that MoYou London plate are supposed to be based off of popular emojis. I find they come in handy all the time!
