The very idea of an owl depicted on nails is already new and fresh.

You can give it greater expressiveness by first extending your nails if yours are very short.

Gel polish

If all your work is in vain and the result of your own art does not suit you, and the search for suitable decals was not successful, do not despair. There is another way to get the desired owl manicure. Gel polish and a professional nail design master can make any dreams come true. Contact a professional, develop a design together and rely on the experience of the master.

Covering your nails with shellac is not only very beautiful and neat, but also practical. An owl painted with regular polish will “live” for 3-4 days at best, but the gel polish will save you from worrying about your nails for at least a couple of weeks.

The background for drawing an owl can be either a monochromatic coating or a shade, made, for example, in the shades of the sky. The owl itself can be covered with glitter.

Materials

It is not difficult for a master who is fluent in drawing techniques to create a unique and beautiful design. To paint a bird yourself, you need to have a special set of brushes.

7 owl designs on nails

To make the task easier in choosing the appropriate option, I propose to take a closer look at what style and what methods you can use to decorate an owl with your own hands on the nail plate:

Photo	Description
Thought 1. Cartoon style The most famous and beloved among fans of the owl print. The image resembles one of the frames of a cartoon, and the details themselves are formed by smooth and fuzzy lines. The easiest way to recreate such a coating is using sliders with a ready-made design.
Thought 2. Laconic decor Allows you to decorate your nails with individual character traits in nail art. So, you can decorate one of the nails with a design of an owl’s head, and on the others depict other elements - feathers, wings, etc., or leave them plain.
Thought 3. Story A do-it-yourself manicure can be transformed into a fascinating story, for example, by depicting a feathered hero sitting on a branch stretched horizontally along several nails.
Thought 4. A catchy accent. A very successful dilution of a monochromatic manicure with an image of an owl on 1-2 fingers with contrasting polish colors.
Thought 5. Owl patterns The design can be along the entire length of the plates. This is a self-sufficient design, and difficulties with design will be solved using stamping (cost - from 500 rubles) or transfer stickers for manicure (cost - from 150 rubles).
Thought 6. Gradient background A successful complement to the elegant owl art, made with more measured monochromatic colors of decorative varnishes. You can create your own color mixing with a foam sponge or brush on a wet coating.
Thought 7. Limited design It is produced in measured neutral colors, and the patterns themselves look like a slight hint of a real sketch, which is decorated with translucent or shimmering varnishes.

Choose nail art with owls that matches your personal style, wardrobe and lifestyle: give preference to neutral options for your office, and save colorful ones for a vacation or party.

Nail art with a big owl using dots in 12 steps

Creating accurate and beautiful patterns with your own hands is quite difficult, especially for beginners. Therefore, I propose to stick to the ordinary version of the design with a large pattern, and for contrast, let’s create it in multi-colored ones. We will need several colors of decorative varnishes (regular or gel), a brush, and also a base and top coat.

As the main tool, you can use not only dots, but also a hairpin, pencil lead, orange stick or toothpick.

Detailed description of the sequence of steps:

Photo	annotation
Step 1 Apply a protective coating to the nails and wait for it to dry.
Step 2 We decorate two fingers with light pink nail polish in 2 layers.
Step 3 Apply a snow-white color of varnish to the other finger.
Step 4 Cover the next nail with shiny varnish for contrast.
Step 5 For the main finger, choose a neutral color - brown or grayish as a base for the owl.
Step 6 Cover all nails with top coat in one layer.
Step 7 Draw stars with straight brush lines on the pink background of one of the nails.
Step 8 Cover the design with stars with a top coat and dry it.
Step 9 Using dots, we draw a heart shape for the future owl’s face on a neutral background of the nail.
Step 10 Place two dark dots along the edges as the owl's eyes.
Step 11 Draw the beak with a yellowish color in the form of a small triangle and a pink blush around the edges.
Step 12 Leave horizontal stripes forming the body and feathers of the owl, using brown polish color from the middle to the tip of the nail,
Step 13 Fix the design with topcoat and dry it.

When decorating a manicure with gel polishes and paints, polymerize each applied layer in a lamp: UV - 1-2 minutes, ICE - 30-60 seconds.
