How to: 'Neon Owl' Nails
Hello everyone! It's time for another animal inspired manicure, this time I got inspired by a white (stuffed) owl! In stead of using white I decided to go for a bit of colour though, since it rains quite a lot over here and...well, do you even need an excuse for fun looking nails? ;) Below you can see a couple of pictures that will show you how you can get your own 'Neon owl' nails!
I started with a blue base colour and layered a couple of bright shades on top (pink, green, purple, yellow and orange. Unfortunately you can't see the pink owl because my thumb is not part of the picture). After that I added the eyes and the 'bellies' using a colour that was a couple of shades lighter than the owl. Last but not least I added some details with a black nail art striper.
I find them super cute! Although I do prefer the yellow owl, that one seems to match better with the blue. If you like a more 'real' looking owl you could always go for a white/brown/grey shade of course! Just make sure that you use pigmented colours, since you'll be layering 3 different shades on top of each other. I used a lot of the Barry M nail paints, they're very pigmented and they dry fast as well :)
