How to whimsical feather nails

Start with a nude base color. I'm using Nina Ultra Pro in French Pink. It's anything but pink.

Get a Striper. This is THE BEST polish/Striper combo. You can get all these supplies at Sally's Beauty Supply.

Start with a slightly curved line.

Now start with your base.

Gently use the base lines to start lightly moving upward in a light brushing motion. This may take a few attempts.

End with small lines toward the top. Maybe try drawing this in paper first with a pencil. Using the pencil lightly against your paper. It's great practice!

I filled in the empty spaces with light brush strikes to resemble pieces of feathers.
