Just for fun

My yard has so many feathers blowing around right now. I’ve been collecting them for projects and had an idea.
About a year ago I remember watching a YouTube video on acrylic nails and using real feathers underneath the acrylic. My hands currently hurt too much to do all the required filing that comes with acrylic nails, but I do have gel that I’ve never tried before.... I grabbed a few imperfect feathers since I would only need to use small sections on them. It was a little tricky, but so much easier then acrylic! Haha.
The end result

And here’s an added bonus! Earrings I made with some awesome dark gray fluffy feathers I found

I’m really enjoying the molting season

Those are all soooooo pretty! You are really creative. You should like to start a jewelry store. Those are really impressive.

Do you top coat? The nails will last longer.
