We have my attempt at a bunny, what's meant to be a partially unwrapped Easter egg, a daffodil and a little chicky hatching out of its egg. I actually sketched out rough plans for these beforehand because I suck at improvising, especially if it involves art! Picked the wrong type of brush and couldn't work with it, and I'm scared of striping brushes (really do need to get the hang of them) so most of it was done with a dotting tool in the end.
The little chick was my favourite! I've seen it on lots of easter nails but it's so adorable I couldn't resist!
This manicure took 15 different polishes to pull off which is easily a new record for me! The only sad point was having left it an hour before topcoating and the black still smudging on the bunny *shakes fist at topcoat*
Colours used:
Thumb - 3 coats of BarryM Matt White (would have been 2 but I knocked it on a cup of tea!) for the base, with polka dots in BarryM Strawberry Icecream, Peach Melba, Lemon Icecream and Blueberry Icecream, NYC Mint Macaroon and Model's Own Grape Juice
Index - 2 coats of Model's Own Grape Juice for the base, then BarryM Matt White, Maybelline Forever Strong Nude Rose and Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris for the bunny
Middle - 2 coats of Next own brand in Tan, with BarryM Lilac Foil for the foil (funnily enough)
Ring - 2 coats of BarryM Blueberry Icecream, then BarryM Lemon Icecream and Tangerine with OPI Deutsch You Want Me Baby? and Sinful Colors Envy to create the daffodil
Pinky - 2 coats of BarryM Matt White with Maybelline Color Show Fierce N Tangy, OPI Deutsch You Want Me Baby? and Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris for the chick
I'll be really sad to take this manicure off! Did you do some Easter nails? Tweet me @ExperimentNails, I'd love to see. Have a lovely chocolate-munching day!
