Owl Nailart NOTD

Owl Nail Of The Day

This design isn't very easy but if you get a friend to do it on your dominant hand or just do accent nail with an owl then it'll be a lot easier.

Materials:

• an owl-colored nail polish: Revlon Streetwear Polish in Jelly
• white acrylic paint
• orange polish: OPI mini from a halloween kit
• yellow polish: Sinful Colors in Pullover
• a color that compliments your owl color (you could do pink and blue or black and grey, whatever you want!): Revlon in Copper Penny
• Toothpick
• Nail dotting tools or something similar in a few sizes

Steps:

• Base coat (optional): I use Essie Trillionails
• Paint your nails the base color
• Paint a big semi circle tummy for your owl
• With a little toothpick paint some little feather lines
• Use your toothpick again and make little triangles one for the beak, and two for the feet
• Then use all your different size dotters to make the eyes

Here's the result!

Splatter Paint NOTD + Video Tutorial!

I've finally made another video tutorial, I hope you like it! Here are a few pics of my adventures in nail-splatter painting! Make sure you've got a nice big area covered for this design!


Materials:

• Base polish (I used Essence Nail Color in "You Belong To Me*)
• Acrylic Paints (I used Craftsmart and Apple brands from Michaels Craft Store)
• Top Coat (I used a crap one from Nina Pro, I don't recommend it- chips in a day)
• I also used a base coat it's totally optional but in case you're wondering it's Sally Hansen maximum growth daily nail treatment.
• Nail art brush (or any brush really!)
• Water, this should be in a container you don't care about because it will get the acrylic paint all over it, it's also best if it's rather shallow and close to your working surface that way the paint has less space to travel around and get all over stuff. 

The materials I used, my work surface was the backside of an oversized calendar from last year.

My final result...

Just a quick picture of the bottle...I meant to include the swatch picture, oh well.

And if you'd like to see a video tutorial of how to achieve this design in the comfort of your own home (or someone else's if you're not too messy) here's it is! Take a moment to subscribe to my channel and comment if you like. I don't post videos often, but I find them very helpful to watch so I hope you do too!

*Quickie: I LOVE these essence polishes they're great for nail polish hoarders because they're cheap, cool/unique colors, and they're small so 1) they fit in your collection and 2) you don't feel guilty about wasting product because there's not a lot. And OF COURSE- they are amazing quality! Especially the brush, better than any comparably priced nail polish out there. The formula is right up there with my favorites like Revlon and OPI.
