Now, these are nails I actually give a *hoot* about! I said in my previous nail post that I have let the hand-drawn element of my nail art die a little bit just because I've been too tired for probably a year now to sit down for hours just to do one hand, but last night I wanted to draw again! One animal that I have seen for Fall that I have been too scared to attempt was the owl. Though my owls looked "a little high" as my husband said, I think they turned out alright considering! I tried to stick to solely nail polish instead of acrylic paint, but I feel that the owls would have turned out better had I used a more workable medium like acrylic paint. Either way, it was good to get my paintbrush dirty again with some drawing!
Using this tutorial from one of the OG nail bloggers Lacquertude (she has a beautiful Picture Polish polish called "Forget Me Not" that I own), I did my best with the owls. I added a bit of glitter to signify wings as the original polish I was using was too close in colour to its main body colour.

The eyes were done with black and white nail polish and the little legs and branches in acrylic paint.
