After failing several times at painting this design on my nails, I finally gave in and bought some feathers. It’s easier than expected to put them on your nails and it looks soooo pretty.

These are actually real feathers from a pheasant. I found these on ebay. But I guess synthetic feathers for crafting would work also. 

My base colour is 95E from the Manhattan&Buffalo line. I’m not sure if a base coat is necessary but I thought it might look prettier with a nude colour as base.

A few tips in case you want to try this too:

  • I figured small feathers work really well. Also less waste!
  • Always use a sharp pair of scissors to cut off the edges.
  • Put on more than one layer of clear top coat. I did 4 coats.

omg how
