Cutesy Easter Nails

I’m wearing a silly little Easter mani today!  I decorated my nails like easter eggs and then painted a little newborn chick on my accent nail.  I used a matte topcoat too since I’ve been in love with that stuff lately!  Now is it just me… or does my chickee look like he’s scared as he stares at the brown egg I’m holding?  Poor little dude- maybe all the nail polish fumes got to him. 😦
Here’s the list of products I used…

white base ♥ wet n wild wild shine in French White Crème

pink accents ♥ Dance Baby by China Glaze

blue accents ♥ Natural Environ-mint by Sephora by OPI

yellow accents ♥ Yellow Kitty by Sally Hansen

chickadee ♥ Folk Art acrylic paint

Morning Burst

I’m calling this manicure Morning Burst because it was inspired by my Clean & Clear facial wash that I use every morning.  How corny is that lol?  Sometimes we find inspiration in the strangest places.  My orange and yellow pump bottle of Morning Burst has a cute dotted sunburst design on it and I wanted to simulate that.  I changed up the color combo a bit as you can see- I wanted an excuse to use a bunch of my favorite polishes all at once!

I enjoy dotting designs because they seem less intimidating than free-hand painting.  I’m always afraid that my free-hand work will come out like crap.  Keep in mind that I live with a man that could arguably be one of the most talented painters in the US today…  so I might have a slight inferiority complex or something.  I stuck to dotting tools for this design and I think it came out cute!  I will probably take it off before I head back to work tomorrow though.  It is a little crazy- and there’s just so many colors in here that I doubt I will find a coordinating outfit lol!  Here’s a list of the polishes I used …
