Turkey Nails!!

Hello beautiful people! Thanksgiving Day is approaching fast. Thanksgiving is the best holiday ever because we can eat, eat, eat all we want and it's the best food ever! Today I am going to show you very simple turkey day nails that you can do at home so you can rock during Thanksgiving! Here we go...

First apply your base coat. I use Seche Vite base coat. Then you apply a brown nail polish all over the nail and you're going to do this on all your nails. I applied one coat. The brown nail polish I used is from Zac & Zoe Naturals in the color Bronze Lady. I saw this nail polish randomly at a Payless.

Once your nails are dry, on your ring finger you will go ahead and draw little oval shapes sideways. These are going to be the feathers of a little turkey you're  going to do. You will draw a red, yellow and orange oval. You can use the nail polish with the thin brush used for nail art or even the regular nail polish with the big brush. The ovals don't have to be perfect because you will outline them later. Your nails should look like the picture on the left. 

While the little feathers are drying, you will take the orange nail polish and draw a straight line on the top edge of the rest of your fingers. It's going to look like a french tip. The orange I used is Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails Extreme Wear in the color Sun Kissed. Once you have drawn the orange, go ahead and take the yellow nail polish and draw a thin line below the orange line, then do the same thing with the red nail polish, draw the line beneath the yellow line. The yellow color I used is from Art Deco, and the red color I used is from Salon Perfect. You can purchase both at Wal-Mart. Your nails should look like the picture on the right. 

So while those dry you will go back to your ring finger and draw a weird shaped little body. It doesn't have to be perfect, mine is not. To draw this body I used the big brush that comes in the nail polish. I didn't use any special nail art brush. The color I used for the turkey's little body is Nirvana by Sinful Colors. You can see that the body of my turkey is a little deformed. 


Once the body is on there already, you will take a white nail polish and draw two little tiny eyes. I used the tip of a comb for the eyes. The tip of the comb was thin and round so it worked perfectly! After you've applied the two white dots, apply two black dots in the center of the white dots. Those will be the eyes of the turkey.

You will also then draw a small orange upside down triangle, this will be the beak of the turkey. Then, you're going to take the red nail polish and draw a cloud-like shape, this will be the extra skin of the turkey. It will look like the picture above. 

After your turkey is done you will take the black nail polish and just outline all the feathers and it's little body and you will be done. It should look like the picture on the right. 
Finally, you will just add the top coat and you will be done!

Hope this tutorial was helpful or inspired you to create one of your own. Thank you and hope you come back for more! Happy Thanksgiving!
