I didn’t mean to become the zebra girl. It started with one “maybe just an accent nail” and suddenly I own zebra-print everything and my boyfriend calls me “stripes” instead of my real name. I’m not mad about it.
Zebra nails are the classy version of animal print. They’re wild… but make it fashion.
True story: I wore black-and-white zebra french tips to my office job and my boss (who wears nothing but navy suits) stopped me in the hallway and said “those are actually really cool”. I have never felt more powerful in my life.
Another confession: I used to think zebra print was “too much”. Then I tried one set and folded faster than a cheap tent in a windstorm. Now I’m writing this with zebra toes too because I have zero chill left.
So yeah… I went full psycho on Pinterest (again) and these are the zebra nails currently making me feral. Save them before I book every single one.

Tell me in the comments because I need more zebra girlies in my life 🦓🖤
