From catwalk TO NAIL BAR

FEATHER LIGHT

By OPI educator Belinda Price using OPI Lacquer from the SS18 Lisbon collection

STEP 1 Apply OPI Bond Aid, base coat and two coats of a turquoise like Closer Than You Might Belém

STEP 2 Using a fine art brush, start to draw the feathers with three lines in soft white Suzi Chases Portu-geese

STEP 3 Use the same brush to create lines coming from the “spine” of the feather with delicate pink Lisbon Wants Moor OPI

STEP 4 Repeat with the white, building up layers of fine, feather-like strokes. Add more pale pink if desired

STEP 5 Use a very small amount of a rose gold like Made It To the Seventh Hill among the feather strokes. Apply top coat to finish – try matte for a modern, soft look
