Manicure Monday - Easter Nails!! Bunny, Chick and Easter Egg Nails Tutorials

I'm loving the Spring-y nails and now that it is officially Spring, I can jump right in! It is Easter week and I love Easter colours! Here is a look at what I came up with for Easter nails:
Easter Nails!! Bunny, Chick and Easter Egg Nails Tutorials

I had so much fun coming up with these nails! I did not take a picture of all the products I used because there was a lot! 
  • Formula X Nail Cleanser, Base Coat, and Top Coat
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White On (white base polish)
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Breezy Blue (light blue)
  • Essie in Go Ginza (light purple)
  • Ciate polish in Big Yellow Taxi (yellow)
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Bubblegum Pink (light pink)
  • Orange, black and white nail art polish
  • nail dotting tool 
This Manicure is broken down in to 3 tutorials - the bunny, the chick, and the Easter eggs!

Here are the steps I followed for the Bunny Nails:
Easter Nails!! Bunny, Chick and Easter Egg Nails Tutorials

1. Nail Cleanser, Base Coat and 2 Coats of white base polish and dry well
2. Using nail dotting tool create 2 eyes, and a pink nose - make sure to do this towards the bottom of the nail so there is room for ears! 
3. Using a black nail art polish (or nail art brush and black polish) - create whiskers and rounded ears - I maybe should have practiced first as mine aren't perfect, but I still think it's cute! 
4. Using pink polish and a dotting tool, fill in the ears! 
5. Let dry well and Top Coat!

Here are the steps I followed for the Chick Nails:

1. Nail Cleanser, Base Coat and yellow base polish (this Ciate colour needed 3 coats to be opaque) and let dry well
2. Using white nail art polish, create a zig-zag line and fill in to create a broken shell look.
3. Using dotting tool and black polish, create 2 black eyes (make sure to leave enough room for a nose!)
4. Using orange nail art polish, create a triangle shape and fill in! 
5. Let dry well and Top Coat! 

Here are the steps I followed for my Easter Eggs Nails:
Easter Nails!! Bunny, Chick and Easter Egg Nails Tutorials

1. Nail Cleanser, Base Coat and 2 Coats of base polish - I used 3 different colors: pink, blue and purple. Let all polishes dry well. 
2. Using white nail art polish and create lines, zig zags and polka-dots. Feel free to design any way you like! 
3. If you like, add polka dots in matching colors (I used the other base polish colors for accents!)
4. Let dry well and add Top Coat! 

I had a lot of fun creating this awesome Easter nails!
