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 :)

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 ;)

Candy Buttons!

Hey guys! After yesterday's fail, which I realized after posting was April 1st (how ironic!) I wanted to do something fun! I got to thinking about old school candies, and my childhood in general. We were recently in Toys R Us and we saw they still make candy buttons too, so that was my inspiration for today :)

This is something else that's super easy to do! I did two coats of white polish, the blue is Finger Paints blue raspberry taffy, the yellow is Zoya Pippa, and the pink is Sinful Colors creme pink. I tried to line them up as best I can, they aren't perfect but I think they turned out pretty damn cute!

Geez this is a short and sweet **pun intended** post today!

Leopard Fail

Hey guys! Today I'm going to say is a bit of a fail...Brendan didn't nap long enough for me to actually do my nails, AND I had two breaks that forced me to cut my nails down to nubbins **the horror!!!** so I went and dug through my nail stuff and found some Kiss nail strips that I bought what seems like forever ago. They are super cute pink on pink leopard, so I thought win right? Quick easy and cute?! Well no...

I applied them like it said to do and filed the ends or extra off like it said to...well they ripped and had jagged edges, and I had a few folds in them too. As hard as I tried I couldn't get them to not fold over like that...but it is what it is. Like I said the pattern is great, and I love it, but eh. I don't think I'll use them again. Maybe they would be better when I don't have nubs? Who knows! Have any of you guys tried them?




Until next time! Happy painting!
