Peacock Feather Nails

I love the peacock pattern on BM 212!  I had to experiment a while to get a look I liked, but I'm happy with my final result.

I started with two coats of Cover Girl Boundless Color in 603 Bronze Beauty.  I stamped the peacock pattern using BM212 in Kleancolor Military Green.

 I used a dotting tool to make a big dot in the center of each "eye" with Sally Hansen Insta Dri Blue Blast.  I used a smaller dotting tool to make another dot on top of that one with Kleancolor Metallic Sapphire.

What a beautiful and inspiring bird - and what a fun plate!

Strut your stuff, Konaddicts!

More Cupcakes Step-By-Step

In my second attempt, I tried to create a more interesting background for the cupcakes so I applied a base coat and stamped swirls in a slightly darker pink before stamping the cupcakes.  There was a little bleed through with the colors, but I liked the overall affect.  I'll walk you through how I did this one.
