Mischief managed. I loved the Harry Potter books and the movies. It was hard to decide what to paint on my nails for this one because there are so many options. I ended up with a more Harry focused look with his owl, Hedwig, and his house colors of Gryffindor.

I wanted to do owls delivering mail, but it didn't match with the rest of the look I was going for. I'll have to do another design I guess :) I also wanted to do something with the golden snitch, so that will be another design too. And maybe something with a patronus. Expecto patronum! Harry Potter has a very autumn/Halloween feel, so I'll try to mix in some different designs with my regular Halloween nails next month.

Mix the grey polish with some clear top coat to make it sheer, then paint it under the eyes and around the center of the face.

Use black to outline the eyes, paint pupils, and a beak. Make a sheer black to feather out around the beak.

Dot white highlight marks on the pupils.
