Happy Easter (in a few days). For my Easter manicure I painted my nails in an array of pastels and then used a dotting tool to make dots. I bought a set of dotting tools from Amazon, but I've read you can also find dotting tools on E-bay. If you plan to make dots on a regular basis, dotting tools work much better then tooth pics or bobby pins, etc.
These are the polishes I used. This is more nail polish then you own? The irony isn't lost on me.
I labeled the base polish colors that are still being sold.
The bunny smeared when I added the top coat. I call her "Bar Fight" Bunny. I roughly followed this video tutorial. I used Essie Smooth Sailing as the base, Sally Hansen Insta Dry Whirlwind White, Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Light Pink, and a random black polish.
For the chick, I painted my nails in Sally Hansen Insta Dry Whirlwind White. Then I cut a piece of scotch tape in a jagged shape. I applied it to the back of my hand to remove some of the sticky. I applied the tape to my nail and painted with a two quick coats of Wet n Wild Spoiled Mind Your Own Beeswax. Remove the tape immediately. I used a dotting tool to add the eyes and nose. Eyes are a random black polish and nose is Essie Meet Me at Sunset. Have a great Easter and eat lots of chocolate!
That was so very cool - and creative!
ReplyDeleteWeirdly enough, RCC posted with the exact same manicure. We must have been on the same wavelength that day. :)
