A waterfalls manicure in honor of Kitty: Zoya Chanelle with Sally Hansen White Out on the accent nail, with stripes of Julep Janae, New York Color Sidewalkers,  and Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris  

This is my cat, Kitty.  The above manicure was inspired by her.  Kitty passed away in March after having thyroid problems (which we had treated for years).  She loved eating turkey, macarons, and the foamed milk I put on coffee.  She loved sleeping on suitcases and folded blankets, playing parachute with the bed sheets, chatting with the skunk outside, and sitting and chatting with my boyfriend and me.
