Chubby Owls with their Zig-Zag Chevron Eggs

Haha hello there!! My title is so hilarious but a friend gave me some insight on this design so we are rolling with it. As you can guess it's another nail art day and these are my favourite. Oh yeah forgot to tell you that I've now swatched everything. There's me making a big deal counting down and then when it happens I forgot to say. Very standard me. So all days will be nail art days til I get more polish (who knows when that'll happen, I mean really).
Just wanted to say I've been rocking to some Latin jazz while editing and it's been great, also since I haven't been playing the piano as much and I have more free time in school I have more nail time. Being real this'll probably end cause I have serious things to get back to but it's nice while it lasts.

Aw chubby owls are cute and I like the colour scheme. Gradient chevrons are v fun too. I was going to paint something on my thumb but then I liked it without cause that polish is really pretty. I think th design works well, like pink, blue and green are great. The egg idea is sweet too.

I used the brush of the nail polish quite a bit, like for the blue and the zig-zags then I went in with the toothpicks for all the other details. I wasn't really fussed about proportioning here cause it's meant to be cartoony.

Owls amidst the cherry blossoms

Hi there guys!! Oh man I can really embellish my titles, but honestly I LOVE this look. Owl nails are always cute and these "cherry blossoms" (flowers really) make them nicer (imo, I've never used imo before). I'm trying to sort out blog posts and editing pics and also school work, I'm just hoping I can get everything done in time. Positive thinking is the way forward ;)

Ok I LOVE the glasses on the red owl. I feel like the whole look just works, and you know me I love bright colours. It incapsulates the things I love in nail art. Cute animals and flowers, oo and glitter. I wanted glitter as the owl pattern, I wanted a uniform pattern but then I used The Teen Queen randomly as the feathers all messy and I thought it was brilliant (and that pale pink glitter is great here)!! I used the word "love" a lot, but I do love it.

 Like usual I got my toothpick and brushes of nail polish and got to work. And the placing of glitter was with a toothpick. This look also wasn't very difficult but, fun in how all the pieces came together.

Early V-Day Love Owls

Hey there, hope you all are doing well. I actually am, go being in a good mood!!! I didn't know what to do, so I pulled out some polishes I wanted to use, saw a picture of an owl hat on facebook and started to paint. I don't enjoy being spontaneous with my nails, I'm all about the planning but hey it's not half bad.

Also not intended to be valentine-esque either but I roll with the punches. I've done owl nails that I've preferred to these, but if better executed I think this could look way cuter.
Red: Nails Inc - Tate with OPI - I Lily Love You
Pink: Barry M - Pink Foil
White: Models Own - Snow White, Nails Inc - Sweets Way and details with Lovely Me:Ex - White
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
Brown (just a hint): Nails Inc - Richmond Terrace
I really like the Barry M pink, the formula is fantastic too. I put Sweets Way over white so I would use less coats but it looks nicer without something under.

I have more valentine's designs for February but this one was unintentional, thank you for reading and have a lovely day!!! :)

Hoot Hoot (Owl Nails)

Hello. I was in a "I don't know what to do with my nails" mood, but owls came to mind. I want to go back to doing super cute nail cute and not really difficult nail art (cause I'm never pleased with the results).

These nails were inspired by Supa Nails design. I originally had the thumb design different but I did something that messed it up so I changed my design. Anyway here are the nails.

Yay I really like them and they're cute!!!! ^_^ This is me trying to be season appropriate. I changed the design a bit with the little hearts and the little triangles and the happy eyes ^_^. Which I quite like, but only because of the different colours. If it was one colour I wouldn't like it.
Pink: OPI - Charged Up Cherry
Blue: The Face Shop - GR501
Orange: Essie - Tart Deco
I used 3 of my favourite polishes for this hand. I wasn't sure what to do for my index finger, but I decided I liked it plain and I kept it that way.  Charged Up Cherry always turns up really orangey for me. I don't know why. The first picture isn't very colour accurate and honestly I'm too tired to do anything about it :/ The second picture is far better :)

I switched up the colours for my left hand, I normally don't like mismatchy hands but if it's the same design with different colours = I love.
Red: OPI - Dutch Tulips
Blue: Barry M - Indigo
Purple: Essie - Lilacism
I really like Lilacism even though the whole purple thing, it's a nice colour and a nice formula. I love the clash of red and purple, during the first day of the 31 day challenge with red nails. I had painted my toenails in Lilacism and adored the clash. It's slightly more season appropriate.
