Easter Time Bugs and Bunnies (& a little chick)

Hi everyone, I hope you're having a lovely Easter break! My break is coming to an end but it has been really lovely. I have been productive with some things but have also taken plenty of time to relax. First Easter in a long time not seeing family or friends, but it has been really lovely to just take a break and have a chunk of time to appreciate the things we can do at home. So today's nails are my Easter nails for this year, though I'm hoping to squeeze in one more Easter look in the next week. I only did these yesterday as I loved my unicorn nails so much I kept them on for two weeks!

I started with a base of Robin on most nails, and Hatch on my ring finger nails, both shades are from Cirque Colors. They are my only two speckled polishes and felt very appropriate for the theme. I'm not ussually into speckled polishes but I think Cirque do them best, and these two are my favourites. For the chick, daffodil, bug and multiple bunny images I used the advanced stamping technique (you can see how here). For the little rabbits on my index finger nails I used layered stamping images from the Mo You London Festive 58 plate (used for all images in this design). My boyfriend said it looks like the rabbits are greeting each other when I put my hands next to each other! <3

Overall I am pleased with these, I think they definitely scream Easter and I like the colours. I particularly like the image with multiple bunnies as they are just so cute! There are a couple of things I'd do differently next time though. Firstly while the matte look makes the colours pop, it kind of hides the speckled effect of the polishes. I have to look quite closely to see them. The other thing is the bunnies on my index fingers look a bit washed out compared to my other nails, I think I'd have been better off using the advanced stamping technique for all nails.

I hope you like them and I hope you had a relaxing Easter. Happy Easter everyone!
