Glitter and Plain Feather Manicure
The easiest way to draw a feather on a nail is to draw it with a thin brush and one color of gel polish.

In order to repeat this design, you will need a set of gel polishes, an LED lamp and nail tools.
When everything you need is ready, you can get to work.
How to make a manicure with beautiful feathers?
1. First of all, prepare a bath with sea s alt. Warm water with s alt will help bring your hands in.proper look and soften rough skin. Soak your hands in the bath for about 10-15 minutes. Then proceed to remove the cuticle. This can be done with tweezers or orange tree sticks.
2. The next step is to create the form. Remember the most important rule of a perfect manicure: nails should be the same length. All. With no exceptions. Even if you are very sorry to say goodbye to the grown length due to one broken pinky nail.
3. When the form is ready, lightly walk over the nails with a soft buff. This will give them uniformity and the varnish will lie better. Degrease the nail plates.
4. Apply primer to all nails. This tool helps the gel polish to better gain a foothold and prolong the life of the manicure. It does not need to be dried in a lamp as the primer dries in air in 2-3 seconds.
5. Apply a thin but even coat of base gel polish and cure under lamp for 1 minute. Then apply colored gel polish in the same way. Make only thin layers of the coating, otherwise they will not dry enough and ruin the entire manicure later.
6. To draw feathers on your nails, take a thin brush with a long artificial bristle. After dipping it in black gel polish, draw a semicircular line. Further from it, draw thin lines without gaining additional varnish. This will make the pen look more realistic and lighter.
7. After drying the design under the lamp, apply a final gel polish. Be sure to seal each of the nails, i.e. walk with a semi-dry brush with a top on the butt. Without drying the top, glue rhinestones on your nails and lightly press them into the coating. Only after that, dry the manicure with feathers under the lamp. You will get a very beautiful and feminine nail design!
Peacock Feather
And here is another idea for a luxurious manicure, but with peacock feathers. As you know, the feathers of this bird are incredibly beautiful and bright. So why not repeat them on your nails?
In this manicure you will need a little more time and skill than in the previous one. Having covered the nail with a white dense gel polish, you can start drawing. First, draw the outline of the colored "core" of the feather. This can only be done with a very thin brush. Next, fill the peacock eye in stages with colored gel polishes. Allow each layer to dry if you want to avoid mixing shades. With a thin brush, draw the base of the feather and the lines extending from it. Make confident movements, but do not press too hard on the brush so that the stripes do not turn out thick. This design is more suitable for a festive event or celebration!
Pink manicure and glitter feather
If you are looking for a cute feather manicure for every day, then we recommend choosing something more relaxed. For example, a soft pink pastel design with a single feather on the ring finger.
Making such a pen is easy. All you need is a glossy and black gel polish and a brush with a long thin bristle. Do a classic manicure with gel polish, as described above, and get to the pen.
For this design, the feather startsfrom the top edge of the nail. Then it goes to its base. In this drawing, the base of the pen is missing and the lines come from one point. When the pen is ready, dry it in a lamp and cover with a layer of gold sequins, applying them in a thin layer on top of it. Delicate manicure with a feather is ready!
How to make a manicure with natural feathers?
If you want something like that, then we suggest you try to make a nail design from real feathers. Sounds unusual, but the fact remains. It turns out that girls who have long understood the advantage of such a design over artistic painting are using this technique with might and main. After all, what can so clearly repeat the feather of a bird, if not itself?
In order to create such a manicure, you will need 10 or less thin feathers. Apply all layers of gel polish to the nails as described earlier, except for the top coat. It is advisable to use a light substrate to make the feathered manicure look more impressive.
Simply cover your nails with top polish and put a feather on it, as shown in the photo. Dry in the lamp and when the feather "grows" with the nail, cut off the excess and secure with another layer of top.
Manicure with stickers
And the most elementary way to decorate your nails with feathers is to do it with stickers. All you need is to purchase beautiful sliders and stick them on your nails before applying the top gel polish. The photo shows a white manicure with feathers.
If you use sliders without an adhesive base, then youyou need to cut out the pattern and, slightly wetting it, transfer a thin film to the nail. After it dries, cover the nail with a top coat. A manicure with feather stickers looks original and just as beautiful as a hand-painted one.
