Peacock feather inspired nails



I chose cute looking shades of polish to match my peacock feather inspired thumbnail as you can see below;
 

 
It was a little fiddly and took a while to build up the layers needed but Ta Da! Here's my first attempt at creating the look!
 

All together;
 

Overall I think quite successful... even if it does remind me more of a seaweed than a peacock feather!


Products used;

Owl you need is love

'Owl you need is love'

In light of my last post I was feeling particularly creative and made a cute Owl canvas for my sister. The canvas was created the same way, except most of it was free handed!

Live,Love,Laugh

Homemade DIY Glitter Canvasses

I was inspired to create these from really cute boards I see on Pinterest. Live, Love, Laugh is a simple quote that I really like so I decided to get creative...

The first two canvasses are a little messy

A bit of patience and a lot of glitter later I have finished all three!


The final look!

They are surprisingly easy to create and there is a lot of inspiration out there. The materials are reasonably cheap and easy to ge hold of so I'd recommend anyone give it a go!
