Hot Pink Feathers

Erika @ Chloe's Nails did a fantastic feather mani here that definitely caught my eye. I had been on the hunt for feathers since she posted her mani. I found some today at my local Michael's Craft Store! Check out how mine turned out!
This is just as awesome in person as it was on Erika's blog! I love this and will do many more...

Here is the package of feathers I found at Michael's.
 It has a ton of different colors! And I absolutely adore the ones with polka dots. This package was under $3.
 I didn't use the Elmer glue like Erika did in her blog post. I just laid it on wet Seche Vite and lightly pressed it down, then went over it with two coats over the top.
 Oh yeah, here's the polishes I used. Zoya Areej & ChG Secondhand Silk
You can see the size of the original feathers in this pic. I picked the smallest feathers out of the bag and snipped off the end with the polka dots. I just had to cut them a little to shape them to my nail.
