Doing two themes at once today! Fortunately, the "Cute Animals" theme we had planned out for the month-long challenge matched up well with NPQ's '"Chicks" theme of the day. Woo!
I started with the obligatory base color of
OPI Alpine Snow. I then made a shimmery gradient using
Sinful Colors Hip to be Square,
Essie Rock the Boat, and a touch of
Sephora by OPI Fancy Schmancy. I concentrated the gradient toward the base of each nail and left the tip white.
Next, I added loose shapes in bright yellow
Julep Lexie, then gave each some more dimension with macaroni yellow
Flower Eye of the Tiger Lily. Beaks and feet were added with
China Glaze Life Preserver. I then used a small amount of Life Preserver diluted with some acetone to continue shading the chicks. Tiny dots of
Wet n Wild Black Creme gave them all eyes. After all of that, it still looked a bit empty. So I used a small brush and
Essence The Green & The Grunge and
Sephora by OPI It's Totally Karma to add some grass, then tossed a daisy onto my thumb and ring nails for good measure.
