trending now: feathers.

 I recently purchased these shoes from Anthropologie partially because of the peacock feathers and partially because I just thought they were cute. Since then, I have noticed feathers everywhere!

Feather earrings, necklackes and even hair extentions. I wanted to share somewhere else I have been noticeing feathers popping up...fingernails. 

doesn't this look cool?

I found a do-it-yourself feather nail tutorial that I will be trying over the weekend! 

What do you think? If you wanna give it a shot-here are the steps:

What you’ll need :

A bag of feathers

A base coat 

A base color [ex. Essie's Sand Tropez]

thick clear top coat 

tweezers 

1. prep your nails with the base coat
2. use your base color
3. apply your fast drying top coat, then press the feather using a tweezers quickly before it drys.
4. with a small, sharp scissors, cut the remaining edges of the feather hanging off your nail. 
5. apply a few top coats over your finished look
6. repeat on the remaining nails

Enjoy!
