Spring Peacock Feather Nails

So these are a cut spring nail. With a white background and pastel colors with a gold underlay and a little bit of black for definition.

Level: Easy if you have different size brushes

Items Needed:

  • Smaller brushes or a very steady hand
  • Gold, White, 5 different colors, black nail polish 
  • Quick dry if you have any available
  • Clear coat 
Tip:
Let your nails dry between layers of polish. It may take longer but in the long run it will help your nail polish stay on longer. I recommend at least 15 min to dry between layers. I also use Rapi Dry spray by OPI which is very helpful. 

Step 1: 

It's up to you if you want to start with a clear coat. I would recommend it. But after that paint a nice solid coat of white polish.

Step 2: 
Using the gold polish and a smaller brush draw a line down the  middle of your nail with a circle at the end that pretty much covers the entire end of the nail. Then draw at least 3 branches off of the main gold. These can be more curvy than I made mine. 

 

Step 3: 
Once the gold has dried go over it with various different colors so just the edge is showing. Add some black on the bottom for definition.
