Girly Easter Eggs

Hey guys! Here today with another Easter themed mani, this one isn't so obvious, but I'm digging it ;) I went through my polishes looking for ones I hadn't used before, and I came across a few that I got in a secret Santa swap from the lovely Kayla. Me being in the states I don't have access to Joe Fresh polishes, so the only ones I have are from her :)

These three beauties came in a pack together, they are all Barbie polishes :) They are mini polishes, which isn't normally a problem, but man the brushes are short on these! I still worked with it though! They also don't have names, there is a light pink, medium pink, and light purple. The three work great together.

My idea for this mani was to do egg shapes in the three colors randomly on my nails to make it look like eggs laying on top of each other. Not too sure it comes across that way, but I'm still really happy with it. They are super girly and spring-ish to me :) So it works! I used a dotting tool to make all the shapes :)

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting!

Bunnies and Carrots!

Hey guys! Sorry about the lack of a post yesterday, I was slacking! But I'm here today with something super cute to make up for it! I wanted to do something else with bunnies since Easter is only a few days away, but I didn't want to do the same thing that I had done on the other two, so I got to thinking. What do bunnies love? Carrots! I know the bunny we used to have did anyway, his name was Muffin :)

So I didn't want to do the normal Easter pastel colors for this one, I decided to do a matte background instead for a bit of a change. I started with two coats of Nicole by OPI wild blue yonder matte, the bunnies are just a plain ol white (the same one I always use, it's SC snow me white), the pink in the ears and the noses of the bunnies is OPI the lifeguard makes me blush. The carrots are Julep Hayden, with the darker orange stripes of Loreal boozy brunch, and the leaves are Color Club Twiggie.

I was super happy with how they came out, I think they are adorable! And the old man loved the expressions on the bunnies faces, heh ;) It's the same look our dogs get when they are licking a bowl or something, we call it crazy eyes ;)

Until next time! Happy painting!

Mmmmm Jellybeans!

Hey guys! Here today with yet another iconic Easter treat! Who growing up didn't get jellybeans from the Easter bunny? I know I did all the time! So that was my inspiration for today's mani :) What are you favorite brand of jellybeans? I LOVE the Starburst ones!

So for this mani I didn't start with a base color, just went right in with the jellybeans, I used 6 colors and I'll name them off :)

Red- WnW everybody loves redmond
Orange- OPI a good man-darin is hard to find
Yellow- Zoya pippa
Green- China Glaze entourage
Purple- China Glaze grape juice
Pink- OPI flower to flower

I randomly placed the colors until my nails were all full of jellybeans and then I was done :)

What do you guys think? You can jellybeans now right? ;)

Until next time! Happy painting!

Bunnies and Chicks!

Hey guys! Here today with another super cute and easy Easter design! Bunnies and chicks :) I wanted to do something that was spring/Easter themed but that wouldn't take me all night, and I figured this would be quick (ish anyway) and easy :)

I started with two coats of Essence nail art twin Romeo, it made me a bit sad not to use the gorgeous glitter Julia with him, but he's the only grey I own! I then used Zoya pippa to make yellow dots (just using the nail polish brush) then used a long skinny nail art brush to make the shapes of the shells the chicks would be coming out of, filled them in using the brush. For the bunnies I just used the brush for the heads and the long skinny nail art brush for the ears. I finished all of them off with facial features and tada! All done :)

This has been making me smile all morning. I'm sick (boooo) and have been for about a week. Long story short my son got sick from the new sitters sister, he ran a high temp during his nap last Thursday, had a febrile seizure because of it, and after he was fine the next day, turns out he has a cold and an ear infection (my poor monkey butt!) and now the old man and I have the cold as well, yay! lol, so yea my nails have made me smile a bit :D

What do you think?

BONUS!!! You get to see my monkey butt and I ;) this was from last week before we all got sick, I love him! Do you think he looks like me? I don't see it :P He looks just like his daddy!

Until next time! Happy painting!

Matte Easter Eggs!

Hey guys! Easter is apon us! Only 17 days to go! April 8th is Easter for those that don't know, and then my birthday is on the 12th :D I'll be a whopping 28 years old! *shock* So today's post is on another iconic childhood memory, dying and decorating hard boiled eggs!

This is a bit of a skittles mani, with different colored pastel colors :) My thumb (that you can't see lol) and pinky finger are Finger Paints lemon sour, my pointer finger is Funky Fingers Mrs. Mint, middle is Funky Fingers queen cupcake, and ring finger is Funky Fingers sugarplum fairy. Using my two favorite tools, my long thin nail art brush, and a dotting tool I made the "decorations", which I tried to make a little different on each one. Once I was done I topped it with Sephora by OPI matte top coat.

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting!

An Iconic Easter Treat, Peeps!

Hey guys! Here today with another Easter inspired nail art mani :) I was trying to come up with something I hadn't seen before, so while in Walmart yesterday I walked down the Easter candy isle, and what do I see? Peeps! I've gotten these yummy marshmallow treats in my Easter basket since I was a kid, and when the old man makes me a basket, I still get them! I looked at the colors and I knew what I would do!

The four colors I found were bright blue, bright yellow, bright pink, and a lavender. So I figured a green base behind them would work out great :) I started with two coats of Color Club Twiggie from the Poptastic collection. The yellow on my thumb and ring finger is Zoya Pippa, the purple on my pointer finger is Sinful Colors verbena, the blue on my middle finger is Finger Paints blue raspberry taffy, and last but not least the pink on my pinky (heh) is Sinful Colors cream pink.

I just used a long thin nail art brush to make the outlines of the bunny peeps, then carefully filled them in with the brush from the polishes. Used a nail art tool to dot the eyes and noses on and done! The same nail art brush I used for the outlines I used for the word "Peep" too, I made it too big and couldn't fit the "S" but oh well :P

What do you guys think? I think it's super cute!

Until next time! Happy painting!

Spring Has Sprung!!

Hey guys! St. Patrick's Day is over and it's time to move onto even more spring themed nails! Today, the Easter bunny came early!! What are you most looking forward to this Easter? I'm looking forward to trying to teach my 22 month old monkey butt how to dye eggs...this should be fun! :D

The Easter bunny and his eggs came for a visit on my nails today! I started with one thick coat of Kleancolor catch me, and using only two sizes of dotting tools, and a long thin nail art brush. Just like some of my other designs I've used a lot of colors, so I'm not going to name them all off, BUT if you would like to know a certain one, I'll be more than happy to let you know!
