Easter Nails!!!

So after watching CutePolish's easter egg and chick nail art video on You Tube
my creative juices started flowing and I HAD to do my own!

And we begin: 
 The Tools of the trade. i.e - shit you'll need
Clear Nail polishes - plain and glitter.  Gel pens - you can use a striper if you have one

 My Trusty Matte Claires Nailpolish set
(you don't have to use matte I just LOVE these coulors)
And some nail art glitter - this is an optional extra - it's seriously frustrating!
 Paint your nails in attractive coulors - the middle finger is going to be the chick.  Once dry start CAREFULLY drawing your design onto your nail - either with a gel pen or with a nail striper.

 Draw a jagged line and fill in - for the half shell.
 Glue on nail art glitter if using.  Draw two eyes and a beak on the chick.
Clean up any nailpolish mistakes - the tip of my thumb nails a bit wonky.
Clean up any polish around the nail and cuticle.
Paint the egg nails with glitter polish and the chicks with clear polish
  Right and Left hands.  
 
  And it's as easy as that!!!

Ok, it was'nt the easiest nail art ever - but if you go slow and don't have super shaky hands you'll do fine.
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!
I've already eaten far too much chocolate - I'm off for a run >:)

  4. wow you are so talented! that is such a cute nail design. Happy Easter (and it's the best time to indulge in chocolate without feeling guilty ;))! xo

  5. Okay that is SUPER adorable! How do you manage to draw on your other hand (depending whether you are left or right handed)! I always find it a challenge to even paint them properly lol!

    I think the chick is really really cute <3 Hahaha great job! ^^

    1. Right handed!!! Actually now you bring it up I too am surprised at how well the right hand came out... I think I was more careful with my non dominant hand ;-)
      Thanks :-D You going to try it?

    2. I would love to but right now there's some mutation going on with my fingers! There's 'pot holes' so I am avoiding nail polish entire for now T_T But they are really super cute! hahaha we tend to be more careful when we are not that familiar with certain things? Food for thought!

  8. I tip my hat to you, my dear. I'd probably kill myself before finishing these.:D But that chick peeking from the cracked egg shell is so ADORABLE!!! Maybe I could paint that only on one nail on each had, like an accent nail, I think I might manage that.:)

    1. Yeah - go with the easy version first to avoid any murderess tendencies exhibiting themselves ;-)

    1. It is a birdcage... but it's a really tiny one, a necklace to be exact. I call it my emo bird because it's fallen off it's perch! Maybe when I find a more permanent home I will get a real live bird!
      If you want to know some things about me you could ask me some questions? I wouldn't know what to tell you otherwise :-D
