Make sure your nails are totally clean by removing polish.
Paint a base coat on before starting.

Base Color

Either using the given nail color or one of your own, paint one coat of color. Clean the edges and let dry.

One nail at a time, have a feather ready and paint a second coat of color. Place the feather of the nail, "stem" away from the nail, with a small space between the cuticle and the feather. Press the feather gently onto the nail.

Trim Feather

Trim the excess feather off, leaving some at the free edge of the nail.

Top Coat

Using the given topcoat, paint a coat over the feather. Allow to dry completely.

Excess Feather

Using the given blocks, file away the excess feather in a downwards vertical motion, starting in front of the nail and pushing towards the back of the nail.

Repeat

Repeat steps 2-7 on all nails. If desired, paint a second top coat.

Voila!
