NOTD: Easter Eggs

On my right hand this week, I created Easter eggs. I wanted to try different lines and patterns to strengthen my left hand skills. The waves are a little sketchy and the zig-zag on my pointer needs some work but overall I think it is a nice look. The colors are bright and great Easter colors! I had my acrylic paints out for the Easter bunny look so I used the white to paint the patterns. Acrylic paint really is a easier to work with when it comes to painting things and it is very easy to wash off it it doesn't look right. I used my detail brush (Brand: Daler Rowney, size: 2/0, purchased: Micheal's).

Paints and Polish Used:
Americana "White Wash"
Beauty UK in medium/dark blue, dark hot pink, medium green, and medium purple
Wet n Wild "Sunny Side Up"

NOTD: Easter Bunnies!

I bring to you a hopping Easter bunny manicure!! I found this look last year on YouTube and tried it out.. lets just say it is much better this year! The little bunnies are hopping around up to the clouds! The one on my pinky had to take a rest so he is sitting on the ground. I decided I hadn't used acrylic paint in a while and this would be the perfect look to paint with them! I mixed the blues for the clouds and the greens and yellows for the grass. The tools I used were a couple of dotting tools and for the grass I used my fan brush (Brand: Royal & Langnickel, size: 20/0, purchased: Micheal's).

Paint and Polish Used:
Americana  "Royal Fuchsia"
                   "Saffron Yellow"
                   "Citron Green"
                   "Calypso Blue"
                   "Lamp (Ebony) Black"
                   "White Wash"
Folk Art "Baby Pink"

Swatches: Beauty UK

Here is the set I exchanged from Ross after I had a bottle top break. They didn't have the same set I wanted so I picked out one I also really liked! This is a Beauty UK set, also a brand I have never heard of. The colors are nameless and again, I couldn't find their names online. They do take a little time to dry but they are very opaque in just two coats. I enjoy these colors, they are all very nice ones to have found!

Made up names: Medium purple creme, electric blue creme, dark jade green, sheer pearlescent white, dark hot pink creme
