It’s almost Eastertime! I feel like the holiday really snuck up on me this year. Last year by this time I did a bunch of easter posts, including an embellished nail polish egg (see the prop in my pic below), a tutorial on how to decorate eggs with polish, and also some cutesy chick nails. I was really on a roll.
But so far, this is all I’ve come up with for 2014. It’s a french manicure with tiny colored eggs painted over top. Fingers crossed that you can tell that they’re eggs!
I started with a classic french mani that I free-handed. Then I stamped a green basket weave print over top using AVON Garden Green and my MASH-39 stamping plate. Then I made some bright easter eggs in pink, blue, purple and yellow using a dotting tool and a small brush. I did a sparkly coat of Wet n Wild Kaleidoscope on top and then some seche vite. I think my eggs would’ve looked more pronounced over a solid white background. This was kind of a waste of a nice french mani since you can’t even really see it! On the bright side, this got me in the easter mood! And it’s just in time for our week 3 theme for the April Nail Art Ideas Linkup.
Are you planning on doing some Easter nail art? If so, you should it add it to our inlinkz for the April Linkup >>

I love how colorful your Easter eggs turned out. Its nice!
Thanks Lisa!
Of course I can tell they’re eggs! Or jelly beans.. 😉 Cute design with the weave stamp.
Oh good! I wasn’t sure if they looked like splotches or eggs 🙂
i see what you meant! i’m not even christian, but passover nails don’t have the same…ring to them. honestly i hate matzoh, why would i want it on my nails?! bunnies are so much cuter!
sidebar, i have sheep on right now. but they turned green from my base color and look like fluffy aliens. someone needs to invent a top coat that stops color bleeding.
Now i wanna see your alien sheep lol
luckily i took all the photos that i’ll be using before they turned an eery green. But seriously. Light green sheep. but patchy because I made them using dots so the center of each dot is still white! i have no idea if this makes sense.
I love this design, great job 😀 xx
It is such a cute idea that the eggs are in the basket, so creative! Also – yeey sparkly coat! 😀
UNIQUE!
Ooh that’s a different Easter mani, love it!
Love these! So cute and Eastery!
