Easter Nails!

Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend! I'm loving the thought of four days off work.

What better way to spend the day than doing my nails?

 Today I decided to try out an Easter inspired manicure.


I don't normally do freehand nail art, because I'm not that good at it! But I gave it a go.
So from left to right it's supposed to resemble two eggs, a chick, a bunny and another egg.

Despite them being far from perfect I actually love them!


As you can see, the bunny can use a lot of work! But overall I'm happy with how they turned out.

This took me ages to do though! And I used nine different colours, so my desk was a mess by the end of it!

The polishes I used were:

17 Mint Choc Chip
Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream
Barry M Lemon Ice Cream
Barry M Strawberry Ice Cream
Barry M Berry Ice Cream
Barry M Matt White
MUA in Black
Natural Collection Antique Coral
White Striper Pen

I don't usually show you my right hand, but I thought I'd show you how I painted these.

I can't do freehand nail art with my left hand, so I used a dotting tool to create some 'eggs' and used a bunny fimo cane on each nail.


This photo was taken before I cleaned up, so do excuse the messiness.

I imagine I'll get a few comments on these when people see them, but hopefully the response will be positive!

What do you think?

How are you wearing your nails over Easter?

Hope everyone has a lovely Easter and doesn't get too sick eating chocolate eggs! :)
