Easter Nails

Easter is here and I'm finally allowed to do Easter design, which I love. Easter is colorful and pastel colors fit perfectly here.

For this design I started with five base colors, one for every finger. And these colors where the main colors in my design which I used the most of. Then I added two accent nail where I added some other colors.

I started with painting all the nails with base coat and then every nail with the base color I decided for them. I went on pretty light colors, like pastel like. I did my pinky blue on purpose to continue with the blue pinky challenge, which you can read more about in last post. The thumb that you can't see on this picture is the green polish that you can see on the rest of the nails. The three nails are then suppose to look something like an Easter egg. So with the five base colors I made some zigzag lines and straight lines with a striping brush. Then some random dots with a dotting tool. Added some white dots too to fill the empty spaces because I didn't want the to use the same color next to each other. 

On my ring finger is then suppose to be the Easter bunny. I started with painting the shape with a striping brush and then with a larger brush I filled it in. Then I did the eyes and nose with different sized dotting tools. Take notice its not skew-eyed like it usually is haha. Then I added the whiskers and then with a dotting tool I added some light pink on the cheeks and ears. 

My thumb have a little chicken on it. The body is made with dotting tools and also the eyes. The hair, neb and eggshell is made with a striping brush. 

The tons on nail polish I used for this -

Don't forget the base coat.

St. Patricks Day Nails

Tomorrow is Irelands national day, also called St. Patricks Day. It's the day you are suppose to wear green, or else people have permission to pinch you I just read online. So you better wear green if you don't wanna get pinched, haha.

I just had to paint my nails for this occasion. So I took all my green polishes and put them in front of me, trying to come up with something to do. Put then I just thought I want colorful, so I grabbed loads of other nail polishes too. It was a hell putting them all back later, just fyi. But then I came up with something. So I hope you like this.

So lets first talk about my accent nail. I just love doing accent nails! But after the putting base coat on I painted my ring finger in a light blue color. Then I started to paint a rainbow with a striping brush. You have no idea how many times I have to start over with this nail because apparently I don't know which colors and where they are in the rainbow. But after I finally got it right, I hope, I made a kettle with the brush on the nail polish and then with a dotting tool I made some gold over it.

For the rest of the nails I started with a light green color. and then with two darker shades of green and a dotting tool I made some clover alike things over the nail. A little failed but that's how it is. 

On my thumb I made a little fail Irish flag, made with the nail polishes brushes. 

The nail polishes I used was -

Always start with base coat!

Heart Cheetah Print Nail

I'm back with another Valentines Day design. I got loads of ideas in my head right now so hopefully there will be a few more if I got the time for it.

This design is a twist of the cheetah print, also know as my all time favorite design. It's just so easy and there is so many ways to do it. All colors work with it. I like this design, it's not as much as valentines day design as the others I done though. But this is a great way to spicy up the cheetah print design.

For this I have just used dotting tools. What I added to this design is the pink and purple hearts to the brown prints. Thought it gave it a little color kick. 

I started with a pretty sheer color and when you do that it's always good to start with white first to don't have to add loads of layers of the sheer color. I already had white gellac under. One of the colors I used are a liquid sand polish, love how they look when you add a top coat. 

The nail polishes I used - 

Always start with a base coat!

Base coat - OPI - Natural Nail Base Coat

Light brown - Ciaté - Cookies And Cream 

Pink - OPI - Pompeii Purple

Purple - OPI - Can't Let Go

Brown - OPI - You Don't Know Jacques

Black - Isadora - Gothic Black

Top Coat - Seche Vite

Hope you like this design.
