For this nail look you will need:
- Clean, shaped and filed nails
- Feathers
- Clear Nail Polish
- Coloured Nail Polish (optional)
- Scissors
- Tweezers
(Optional step: Paint all nails in a solid colour that will contrast well against the feathers. Let them dry.)
Step One: Take a feather and trim off just enough to cover your nail
Step Two: Paint the first nail with a coat of clear nail polish.
Step Three: Using tweezers, place the feather on the painted nail in whichever direction you choose. You may need to press it down on the sides with your fingertips.
Step Four: Trim off the excess feather with scissors.
Step Five: Cover the feather with a coat of clear nail polish. (Feel free to do two layers, or add sparkles at this point).
Step Six: Repeat on all nails!
This is such a fantastic idea! I have a box of feathers that I've been using for making earrings but I never thought of doing this with them before. I really love your blog. I came on here looking for costuming/makeup ideas for dancing in my first hafla and you have so many great tips!
