Peacock Feathers Nail Art

Hello readers!

Tonight I have a quick post before I head off to bed (it's really late, about 3.00am here!). I figured I should do it now before I forget to post it and you won't have something to look at!

I bought a couple cheap polishes from the supermarket and thought i'd try the colour out since it looked pretty nice swatched on a nail wheel. I purchased a bright pink one and a teal-like kind of colour. I decided to paint the teal colour and as I was thinking of a design, I immediately thought of peacocks! Of course it was decided that I would do peacock feathers :)

For this mani, I used this brand of polish called MUD and the colour is paradise valley. I used a white striper to do the feathers, some blue and purple polish for some colour, and some gold glitter for some sparkle. The colour didn't photograph well so I did edit it a tad on photoshop. The colour came out more blue than green in the photo and even after editing, the colour isn't the same at all, but similar. It's meant to be dark, but bright at the same time.





So, that's my mani for tonight! What do you think? Let me know below! See you all in the next post :)
