It’s Monday so you know what that means—another edition of our sorority themed nail art! This week’s manicure is for the Chi Omega girls! Check out this easy DIY red and yellow mani perfect for that upcoming semi-formal.
Chi Omega’s colors are cardinal red and yellow so I chose to use Revlon’s Revlon Red ($3.99) and Milani’s Yellow Whiz ($4.49). I also made sure to have my dotting tool (5 piece set for $5.99) and toothpick ready.
First apply the red polish as a base and allow the paint to dry completely.
Next, put two drops of yellow paint on a paper plate. Using the toothpick, write the Greek letters for Chi Omega on the pointer finger and middle finger, respectively.
Since Chi O’s symbol is the owl, we’ll draw a little one on our pinky nail. For this, I used Essie’s Fear or Desire ($6.03), Kiss Nail Art Paint in White ($1.95), and Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Black Out ($2.26).
Using the yellow paint, brush a half oval on the bottom half of your pinky. Take the toothpick, and draw ears from the top of the head. With the larger end of the dotting tool (you can also use your toothpick for this if you don’t have dotting tools) and white paint, create two big circles under the ears. Also draw an empty half circle as the stomach of the owl. To complete the eyes, use the black paint and the tiny end of the dotting tool to place small black circles inside the bigger circles. Lastly, use the orange paint and the toothpick to create a triangle as the beak of the owl.
And there your have it—your nails are complete! Let us know in the comments if you gave this mani a shot, and stay tuned for next week, when we reveal out next sorority-inspired manicure!
