Easter Designs

Good Morning and a Happy Easter to those that celebrate it!

I have two designs for you today! One was inspired by one of the other mom's at my daughter's school and the other is a culmination of all the things I've done this week. First I'm going to start with the one inspired by Kelly. She's a deeply religious christian gal and a real sweetheart. Her family celebrates the Easter season as a religious holiday only. That is what really inspired me to do this mani.

That one is for you Kelly!!

My second one is the one I did for myself to wear today and tomorrow at the school Easter Egg Hunt. I decided to do a little of everything with this one. I loved the color polishes I chose for the Kelly inspired design so I went ahead and did that again for this one too.

My pre-schooler really likes this one and I did it more for her than for me.  I hope you enjoyed today's designs and enjoy the holiday (for either religion) or if that's not your thing - you just have a great day!!

10 Little Bunnies in a Row

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope your Holiday Weekend is off to a wonderful start! Tonight is the big night when many parents and children will be gathering around the table to color eggs to hide tomorrow! I know that's what we're doing tonight. This will be the first year that my youngest child will get to color eggs. Because of the huge age difference between her and her next oldest sister, it has been a few years since I've done this. I'm very excited and looking forward to this family activity!

In honor of the Big Hunt to begin tomorrow, I have Easter Bunnies for you!! I don't have very many pastel colors in my collection and where I was lacking, I mixed up some acrylic paint to fill in the voids!

I easily could have taken 10 pictures of these cuties, but I think I will stop at just posting these two. The other two I have are pretty much identical to these two.

I hope you enjoyed my little bunnies today and tomorrow's nail art will try to include everything that makes Easter special to those that celebrate it.

Easter Chicks

Happy Good Friday everyone! All Friday's are good though, aren't they? I guess today is just an extra Good day then!

Today's Nail Art is another simple but adorably cute one. It really does make me go "Squeeeeeeeeeeee". Not just because they are cute on  their own, but I love lil chicks and we do have chickens that we let run free across our property and every so often we don't take the eggs and let a chicken roost on them to get cute little chicks!   Now on with the cutness!

This is one of those nail arts where you can see how the length of the nail really changes how the design looks. I did it the same technique across all the nails but I especially love this on the short pointer finger. The design is clearly ideal for shorter nails!! You don't see that very often either!

I hope you enjoyed my cute little chicks and if you have short nails, you now have some hope for wearing some fun nail art!

Eggs-cellent Pattern for Easter

Good Morning and Happy Hump Day!! I hope your Wednesday is off to a groovy start. Today I'll be spending my morning teaching at my daughter's cooperative pre-school and we'll be making Easter Baskets for our Easter Egg Hunt next Monday! With that in mind, today's Easter themed pattern is going to be eggs!!

Please forgive the visable dryness of my skin in these photos. I spilled some acetone on my hands while refilling my remover pump and it took several days of soaking my hand in hot oil lotion overnight to get my skin re-hydrated! 

That's all for today and the end of the series of patterns. I'll be continuing the Easter theme but taking it in a different direction!

One Little, Two Little, Three Little Bunnies

Happy Tuesday! I hope your week is off to a great start!!

Today's Nail Art is along the same line's as yesterday's! I used a similar technique and instead of little orange beaks, I did little bunny ears! This is pretty self explanatory so I'll just get to the pictures!!

I did these over a super light pink frosty Gelish but you can use a bolder color to really make the pattern pop.  You'll notice that this week my pointer finger is short and although it gives me fits to have my nails so uneven, I did it to demonstrate how each of this week's design look on a short nail and a longer nail in one picture. It's not such a dramatic difference on these patterned ones, but it's much clearer on some of the other nail arts I have in store for you this week.

Have a great day and I hope you enjoyed!

Chickie Chickie

Good Morning and Happy Monday!! Today is the first day of Easter week and I'll  be doing an entire Easter themed series of nail art this week. I'm going to start with Easter Patterns. All of these are hand painted and not stamped unless otherwise indicated.

I'm going to start with a lil chickie pattern I saw on YouTube. I thought this was the cutest thing ever!!

Not very complicated but I thought this was just too cute to pass up!! Who doesn't love a buncha baby chickens?

Take Your Pick

Good Morning! Happy Friday! Today's nail art is one that you can use for Easter or if you don't celebrate Easter, it's still a great spring nail art!  This is a look I wore all this week, and it was very cute!

I got the idea for this one, from pinterest and I'm very happy with how it came out. Enjoy!
