My friend owns a lovely snake that is white with the occasionally orange and red scale, I asked her what she thought of the snake skin pedi and she said surely if using shedded skin you wouldnt really notice the pattern.
Snake skin sheds a very pale creamy colour with barely any colour (green, brown, red etc) from the snake. And once gel is applied the skin would appear even more see through and pale.
So we tried it and yep she was right, the lovely vibrant red and orange was barely noticeable and the scales were also barely noticable. ( we tried this on a clear tip btw)
I think sticking to nail armour patterns would be better. Plus when her husband came home he was totally freaked about the idea and not pleased that we were playing with the snakes skin haha
