31 Day Nail Art Challenge: Day 13 - Animal Print

So this might not immediately come across as an animal print to most people.  There is a bit of a back story to this one. 

Before this challenge, we had two cats, Fuzz and Bobo.  I wanted to do something a little different from the usual leopard or zebra for day 13, so I had planned on this mani being all Bobo-print (grey with subtle tiger stripes) with a Fuzz accent nail. Unfortunately, shortly after starting this challenge, we had to put Bobo down.  So instead of an all-Bobo mani, I did an homage to all the cats I or my family members have owned.  Ok, almost all of them.  Rowdy and Percy didn't make the cut, but we didn't have either of them for very long.  I realize this makes me sound like a crazy cat lady, but I think I'm okay with that ;)

Here are a few pictures for reference:

And because my husband is not a fan of matte, I included a picture with a glossy top coat below.
