Feather Nails (Featuring China Glaze–No Plain Jane)

I’ve been wanting to try feather nails for a while, and just now decided to give it a go. I used China Glaze – No Plain Jane and yellow polka dot feathers. I’m not sure why, but I really like the combination of yellow and purple. Did you know they’re opposite colors? Yep, just like black and white! Maybe that’s why I like it- I like opposites.

My feathers were from Michael’s craft store. They came in a variety bag- different colors, along with different prints (polka dot, stripes, and a print that reminded me little bit of leopard).

Applying the feathers was actually a lot more annoying than I thought it would be. I only have nail scissors, so that is what I used to cut the feathers. I think it would be a lot cleaner and crisper if I had cuticle nippers.

What do you think of feather nails? Would you try it?

      Thank you so much! I like duochromes, but always want to add some art to them, and feathers is a simple way to do that!

    That looks so cool! I should probably head over to Michaels to get some and try this - it's so awesome!

    Gorgeous combination. Love feather nails, I am anxious to try it too, but I have to find the feathers first, until now with any luck. Love your nails!

      That's a bummer about not being able to find feathers! I'm not sure about the stores you have in your country, but I would try looking in craft stores. I've also seen pretty feathers on hair clips, so if you find some cheap enough, you could take the feathers off of it :)

      Thank you! You could aways just do an accent nail with the feathers!
