Springtime Bunnies

Hey space turtles! I've finally accepted Spring pastels and I'm loving it! I'm going to do the Glam Nails Challenge again this month though I'm already slightly behind. The first prompt is bunnies and I knew I had to use this adorable bunny image from my Mo You London Festive 58 stamping plate again. I stuck to a fairly simple look but enjoyed getting back to the advanced stamping too. My short index fingernail is starting to grow out a bit and I think these pastel Easter looks do suit short nails.

I started with a shimmery base coat and then added a couple of coats of a few pastel shades (colours listed below the pictures). For the blue and green I used some old textured polishes initially which needed a 'glitter grabber' layer to smooth them out as the texture has gone a bit funny. I had to re-do the blue one as it's gone quite gloopy so took ages to dry and ended up smudging. Ended up using a beautiful coconut infusion shade which was a pretty good colour match. I added wording directly onto the blue nail and created decals for the two pink nails, finishing the look with a matte top coat. I'm glad I chose to do two different shades of bunnies. Really pleased with these :)

Bunnies and Sprinkles!

Hi everyone! Next up in the clairestelle8 challenge is Bunnies or Chicks. I was tempted to try and do some little fuzzy yellow chick nail art, but I wouldn't even know where to start with that! Strangely of all the many many stamping plates I own I still don't have any Easter ones, so I end up doing freehand stuff for Easter each year.

On my middle, little finger and thumb nails I started with a white base, and used a small nail art brush to paint little lines in a variety of pastel colours. They are a little uneven but I was generally pretty pleased with the result. The bunny ears on my other nails weren't so good. I think I used a grey that's too pale and didn't stand out enough against the pastel blue and green. I'm so out of practise with freehand that although they are simple shapes they are a bit wonky!

So that was my take on the bunnies or chicks theme. This time I am quite enjoying having some Spring pastels on my nails!
