Step by Step: Feather Nails


This is my first attempt at feather nails and even if they are not as wearable as I want them to be these nails look really gorgeous and I'll definitely do them again, maybe changing the colours because I had so much fun doing this nail art.

Questa è stata la prima volta che ho realizzato una nail art con le piume. Il risultato finale non è molto pratico ma è bellissimo e molto d'effetto. Spero di rifarle un giorno magari utilizzando altri colori perche mi sono divertita tantissimo a farle.


Start with the base coat
Iniziate con una passata di base coat


Apply two coats of No. 281 from Kiko
Applicare due passate di n. 281 della Kiko


Cut the soft part of the feather
Tagliate alcuni pezzi di piuma


Place the feathers on your nail when polish is still wet
Sullo smalto ancora bagnato andate a posizionare le piume





Kiko No. 281 & Red feathers

  1. Nice, but probably not practical. At the carnival or party but do not to work :)

  9. Pretty eyecatcher, but how long did they last on you?

    Because you can't wash your hands, or shower with them, can you?

    So just for one evening, it would be fantastic!

    1. You're right, you can't wash your hands so you can only wear them as part of a carnival or halloween look :)

  10. This reminds me of the horror film Creepshow from the 80s where Stephen King played the part and was turned into a plant man! I know this was just for show and it's pretty!
