What Is It With Owls?

Greetings All!

Today I have a question - why is it that owls are so popular? I must have at least half a dozen owl stamps - is is because they're cute? Wise? They look kind of vintagey? If anyone could shed some light, I'd be grateful! Nothing against owls, they're fine, but I've never really had the urge to put them on my nails.

Having said that, here are some owls on my nails!






My base is L'Oreal Owls Lust, and I stamped with Barry M Gold Foil and DRK-B, which has three owl stamps in different sizes, so they'll fit on all your fingers! I also made it matte.

I still don't get it!

    1. Fair enough!

      I quite like the big ones with the evil eyes (long eared owls?) but...I guess I've not spent much time thinking about them!

  2. I don't know what is with owls either. I just assume its one of those things everyone is addicted to now. Like last year and the beginning of this year everyone was into mustaches. There is always something. Super cute mani! I love that you matte it! I have so many different matte top coats I am planning a new feature on my blog called "Matte Monday". I love this color mattified!

  3. It was just a huge thing. Once i t caught on, it caught on! There were owl things for EVERYTHING. Owl wallpaper, owl carpets, owl lamps owl dinnerware owl deco. Now I see tons of owl things discounted at target and other stores because it seems the owl faze is over. I've seen jokes on Pinterest that poke fun of people who still have owl decor.
    I guess it's one of those things that have no explanation as to why it happened. It just kind of happened!

    1. Well, at least now I don't feel so bad for not 'getting it' lol - maybe there's nothing to get!

      Yes, owls do make more sense than mustaches lol. Everything makes more sense than mustaches.
