I started with two coats of Orly Au Champagne for my base. I have been wanting this color for such a long time, and I am IN LOVE! It is this really cool pearly white color with a matte finish. I took a picture with an iPhone and I'll post it below, but I will probably do a full swatting post of this color at some point in the near future. (I'm really going to try to start cranking out blog posts more often again).
After that dried, I applied one top coat and stuck the feathers on while it was still wet. Then I added another top coat and cut/filed off the excess feathers. Lastly, I added one more top coat to give it a smooth and glossy finish, and voila! I'm really happy with the way this manicure turned out.
Thanks so much to those of you who stopped by to check out this post even though this blog has been pretty inactive lately!

Amazing ! Two questions: 1) HOW did it occur to you to do this? 2) How long did it last before it started chipping?
ReplyDeleteVal, sorry it took so long fo me to respond to your comment!! First, I want to thank you for the feedback and for checking out my blog! To answer your questions 1) I had seen someone else do something with feathers on Pinterest. 2) It lasted a little over a week before it started chipping (which is a miracle for me as mine usually last two or three days, so perhaps it will last longer for you) :)
