Ornate Owl

I’m mostly following @glamnailschallenge this month, but #clairestelle8sept had an autumn in spring colors and a spring in autumn colors prompt that intrigued me. I couldn’t resist.

Owls do show up year-round, but I think of them most in the fall so I decided to use a beautiful across-nail image from ZJoy 022 and dig out some texture polish too. Texture seems like a very fall thing as well, don’t you think? So I made sure to use my palest texture polish since pastels are a very spring thing. Keepin’ it light!

I wish I had time to do multiple designs with that owl. It’s so pretty! It didn’t quite fill both nails so I added a little half-wreath of floral on the bottom. Such useful little designs. 🙂

I think the nail art speaks for itself so that’s all I have for you today. Check back in on Tuesday for the spring design in autumn colors (although there will definitely be more nail art before then)! I used the same theme of sharpie ink & texture polish so they feel like a set.

Swapping Seasons

This is part of a four-part series where I painted a design for one season in the colors of another season. Here are the other four:

A blue on blue hedgehog nail art design with a double stamped floral hedgehog framed by light blue texture polish.
Summer in winter colors
A neon cool nail art of penguins gazing up at a sky of shooting stars against an icey mountain background.
Winter in summer colors
Snail Garden - Hermit Werds - lovely spring garden snail in autumn colors with a rich purple texture polish
Spring in fall colors

Edit: Since this is a fall nail art, it also falls into #NailChallengeCollaborative’s month-long Autumn theme:
