Easter Egg Nails - Polka Dots & Zig Zags



So I did another Easter nail design.  This one is a little bit similar, but I added something a little extra to it.  I wanted to use the same colors to see what else I can come up with.

You can use this pretty nail design to wear for Easter.

It's a simple & easy to do design, especially if you are just starting out with nail art.

Colors that I used:

Base Coat (Sally Hansen)
Base Color (Sinful - Beautiful Girl)
Dot Color (Cover Girl - Cosmic Blue)
Zig Zag Color (L.A. Colors - White)
Top Coat (Sally Hansen)

1.)  Apply a Base Coat
2.)  Paint nails Pink
3.)  Create White Zig Zags
4.)  Create Blue Dots
      (using a dotting tool or bobby pin)
5.)  Apply a Top Coat

Easter Egg Nails



So, Easter is coming up soon.  It's time to bring out the Spring colors.  And by that, I mean the pretty Pastel colors.  There are so many to choose from.  I looked at my nail polish collection & my mind started to race with so many nail design ideas.  I first thought of Easter eggs.  So why not start with a simple nail design.  I took out my favorite pink nail polish & started to paint my nails.

You can take this design in 2 different ways.  You can either imagine it as:
~Painting eggs (the dots) on your nails
                    OR
~You can imagine each nail being an egg, & then painting the dots design on the egg

Hope you enjoy this simple design.  There are many more to choose from, so I will be doing more for Easter in a few days.

These are the colors that I used:

Base Coat (Sally Hansen)
Base Color (Sinful - Beautiful Girl)
Dot Color (Cover Girl - Cosmic Blue)
Dot Color (L.A. Colors - White)
Top Coat (Sally Hansen)

1.)  Apply a Base Coat
2.)  Paint nails Pink
3.)  Create Blue Dots
      (using a dotting tool or bobby pin)
4.)  Create White Dots
      (using a dotting tool or bobby pin)
5.)  Apply a Top Coat

St. Patrick's Day Green Shamrock Nails


So, St. Patrick's Day is coming up.  I was bored a few days ago & I wanted to do something fun.  So, I decided to paint my nails.  I was thinking of some ideas on how I can paint my nails for St. Patrick's Day.  I plan on going out that night, and want my nails to look really cute.  I obviously want something green & a design that has to do with St. Patrick's Day.  So, I thought of a Shamrock.  I figured that would look pretty on my nails.  This was the first time that I've tried to create Shamrocks on my nails.  Now I know what design I will be creating for St. Patrick's Day.

These are the colors that I used:

Base Coat (Sally Hansen)
Base Color (Pure Ice - Wild Thing)
Shamrock Color (L.A. Colors - BCC 564)
Top Coat (Sally Hansen)

1.)  Apply a Base Coat
2.)  Paint nails Green
3.)  Create a Green Clover
      (using a dotting tool or bobby pin)
4.)  Apply a Top Coat
