Easter Nails

Hello again!

Sorry to keep going AWOL on you all but right when I think I'm ahead, something else comes up! But I'm back! Today I'm going to share my current manicure with you! I was feeling in the Easter mood so I thought I'd get ahead of the game and create an Easter manicure to share with you all!

 

What you need:

•  Base Coat (Avon Rodge Filling Base Coat)
• Dark Purple Polish (Essie No More Film)
• Light Purple Polish (Essie Lilacism)
• White Polish (Avon French Tip White)
• Top Coat (Seche Vite)
• Gelous
• White detailing polish
• Makeup Sponge
• Dotting tool

After your base coat dries, paint two of your nails your dark purple and the other three white. Once the white has dried, take your makeup sponge and paint a line of your dark purple, a line of light purple, and a line of white. This part tends to get a bit messy so either tape around your nail or use Vaseline or even glue. I used Vaseline around my nail to keep the clean up a bit easier.

 

Once you've created the 3 lines on your sponge, dab it gently on your nail. If you press too hard it comes out too concentrated. Repeat this on the other nails you are creating this look on, repainting over the stripes each time. You are going to want to do this about 3 times on each nail in order to get a seamless gradient look. I am still working on this, but practice makes perfect, right?

 

Now, paint your middle finger with 1 or 2 coats of your light purple and let that dry. Once dry, take your striping brush and create 2 chevron type lines on your nail. Take your dotting tool and place dots of your dark purple in the empty spaces between the lines.

 

Top with a coat of gelous and your top coat and you are done!

 

Here is the finished look:

 

Let me know what you think!
