ANMonday: Pets

Hi there! Hope you all had a nice and relaxing or fun weekend, depending on what you like to get up to haha. :)
Today's ANMonday theme is Pets! :) I have only had one pet in my life, a cat named Sooty, so I decided to do a cat mani! :D (More about my cat later in the post for those interested!)


The base colour I have used is OPI's Can't Find My Czechbook. A really pretty blue creme from OPI's Spring '13 collection. I used 2 coats but it was a little streaky, not sure if it's visible in my photos at all. I think that may have had to do with the brush from the mini bottle, however.
For the nail art I used black & white polish, as well as OPI's Red Lights Ahead, Where? for the heart, and OPI's Pink Friday for the kitty noses. For the grey part on the kitty's ears I mixed some black and white polish.

I'm actually quite proud of this nail art! Although it's quite simple, it was all free-hand and I'm not very good at freehand nail art haha.



I don't often share much personal stuff on my blog but I thought it would be nice to show you a few photos of my kitty, Sooty. :) I have had him for almost 12 years now! He was a teeny little scared kitten when I got him, and he didn't really like me or my family for a while LOL. Only in the last two years or so has he actually let me pat him! And now he likes to sit next to me while I'm on the computer and have his head scratched. If I stop scratching his head, he'll put his front paws up on my chair or leg and then jump up on the desk so I'll scratch his head some more, LOL. ♥ :)


Here is Sooty up on my desk. :D
^ This one's an older photo but eep his face. So cute. ^_^

Hope you enjoyed those bonus kitty photos haha. :) I love my Sooty. I also love dogs, though, so someday I want one too! I only like smaller dogs, though. I've always been scared of big dogs haha.

Do you have any pets?! :) Please tell me about them! I think it's so fun to discuss everyone's pets! :D

Thanks for visiting as usual! ♥

  1. This makes me wanna do a mani for my cat. Buuuut, it would just be a bunch of scratch marks and meow quotes because that's literally all he does. Haha.
