O for Owls

Hey Everyone! For the letter O i instantly knew what design i wanted to do as I love owls. I have done a similar owl design before but only on one nail and in different colours (fuschia and gold). I decided to do this design in pale pink and blue and alter it slightly from my previous design by doing hearts for feathers  and owls on all of my nails apart from my little fingernail which i just did hearts on. Anyway, to begin with I used collection 2000 baby blue to create the owl's body on each nail. I did this by painting an arch shape that covered most of my nail apart from a small gap near the cuticle. For the ears i used the same polish and a medium dotting tool to create two small triangle shapes at the top of the owl's body. For the eyes I used a white polish and a large dotting tool to create two large dots just below the ears, then I used a smaller dotting tool and a black polish to add pupils to the centre of the eyes. For the wings and feathers i used a pale pink nail art pen from accessorize. I made the wings by creating two curved shapes at either side of the owl's body. I then created three small hearts in a triangle formation in the middle of the owl's body for his feathers, I also made hearts all over my little fingernail, once i had painted it with two coats of the blue polish. Finally, i used a rio silver nail art pen to create a small triangular shape, in between the eyes, for the beak. I finished the design with a topcoat.
