Ruffian Peacock

I have tried (and failed) many times to recreate a peacock feather on my nails. It seemed that the artisty-detailed approach did not suit me so I opted for a more basic and easy method: layered ruffian!

starting from the top/cuticle:

Zoya in Charla

Zoya in Edyta

Sally Hansen Color Quick in Gold Chrome

Sally Hansen Color Quick in Turquoise Chrome

Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Black

I half love and half hate the Color Quick pens... Yes the colors are pretty and very opaque, but the brush is a mess and very difficult to work with even if all you are attempting to do is paint your whole nail....

I've mostly been using them for stamping these days. They work quite nicely for that and I dont have to deal with the brush!

So if you do a lot of konad, I recommend picking up some of these. 

Until next time ^_^

A 9-years old's Dream

I did these for my little sister for back to school. She loves leopard print and bright colors. It's not really something I would wear, but all of her friends loved it and she was happy. Isn't that what matters? ^_^
