Cute owls nail art (winter themed)

Is it too late to wish you all a Happy New Year?
Well you can never get too many best wishes right?

I've been visiting my grandfather and parents for a few days.
It's quite a drive but my grandfather is 92 years old and you never know...it might have been the last time that we've seen him.

My dear friend +bubica vucko swatched a polish some time ago.
Her post can be found here and I immediately fell in love with this polish.
I love mattes and teal is just one of the most beautiful colors in the world (IMAO).
As a "Christmas/New Year's/completing my challenge" gift she mailed this polish to me.
And when I came home yesterday it was already there waiting for me.
Beautiful surprise and welcome home :D
Thank you very much dear!

Of course I had to swatch this polish as well

Golden Rose Matte #15

 

 

This is actually the first Golden Rose polish I've ever tried and I love it!

Of course color wise it is just beautiful...can you see the fine shimmer!

But I'm also totally in love with the application. Very smooth and easy.

This polish is perfectly opaque in two coats and has a matte finish.

However when you apply it, it is very shiny and I bet it will be beautiful with a shiny topcoat as well.

 

Of course I couldn't resist to make a cute nail art as well ;D

Owls and a bit of winter theme.



Thank you so much +bubica vucko !

 

Day 127) Nail art owls

I see owls everywhere; on clothes, accessories and of course on nail arts.
Does this mean I have to do some too...? YES

When I do a design that's already done I always make sure it's my own.
The owls for today are my own and as far as I've seen it they haven't been done before.
It's not the most simple design of a owl. If you are looking for a simple design I can suggest Google.

Here is the step-by-step of my owl:

Step 1: Make a branch and the body of the owl (with any desired colour)

Step 2: Give the owl some wings (in the same colour as the body)

Step 3: Give the wings some tiny white dots
Step 4: Give the owl feathers (starting at the same height as the bottom of the wings)

Step 5: Give the owl some big white eyes
Step 6: With black you make a slightly smaller circle into the white; this is the pupil. To give the owl some cuteness place 3 eyelashes starting from the pupil

Step 7: Give the eyes some shine by adding a white dot into the pupils
Step 8: Make with black a beak (I'm not sure what it is called in English) between the two eyes and make with white the claws (for a claw I placed 3 stripes beside each other. One half of the claw is going over the body, the other half is going over the branch)

DONE!

I thought it would be nice to make some kind of panorama nail art with these owl.
Panorama: maybe there's a better name for it (Please let me know if there is!)
In my opinion panorama nail art is a nail art consisting of 4 or 5 nails which tell a story together. You''l have to see the nails together to get the whole story.

My panorama part will be the branch:

The whole branch is shown on the 4 nails. At the end of the branch I added 3 green leaves and 3 pink dots (as a flower or berries)

Now you can choose to place just one owl on the branch or more. I've chosen to do 4 in different colors:

I hope you like it!
