Happy Easter!

Hey everyone! I hope you've all had a lovely easter weekend, I still had to work Saturday but I got Sunday off so it's fine. I've had a really relaxing day, especially now I've finally finished my dissertation! I feel so relieved. Today's nails are some quick easter nails I created for Avon. I was going to do all the nails patterned but I ended up liking it on alternate nails, so I left them like that. I think skittle nails always work well for Easter as well, especially in pastel.

Happy Easter!

Hey everyone, happy easter! I hope you're all eating your bodyweight in chocolate. Eat some extra for me because I have to work all day! Today I have some more cute easter nails for you, which I created in collaboration with Avon. They're pretty typical easter nails with a cute chick and bunny, but I really like how they turned out. 

For these nails I used Avon - Savage, Avon - Pastel Pink, and Avon - Lemon Sugar for the stripes, which I did just using the brushes from the bottles. Then I used Avon - Pastel Pink, Avon - Lemon Sugar, Avon - Black, Avon - White and Avon - Sahara Sunset for the chick. For the bunny I used Avon - Savage, Avon - White, Avon - Black and Avon - Pastel Pink. 

That's a lot of colours I know but if you want any of them you can find them here.

Nailvengers Assemble: Easter

Hey everyone! Today is the last day of the month, and that of course means a new Nailvengers Assemble post. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, you can see my original post here. Don't forget to keep up to date with what we're doing on our Facebook page. This month's theme is Easter, and whilst it's quite early, by the last day of April it will be too late so we decided it was better to do it now instead. Easter for me is all about cute little chicks and decorated easter eggs, so I decided to combine the two!

I used a base of Graffiti Nails - Ice White, with a coat of Graffiti Nails - Fairy Wing. Once that was dry I used a striping brush with W7 - Sheer Blue and Deborah Lippmann - Spring Buds on my ring and index finger. Then I used a nail art brush to draw a yellow circle using Graffiti Nails - Mellow, and to draw on the beak using Rimmel London - Oragasm, from the Rita Ora collection. Then I used a thinner brush to outline the bird using black acrylic paint, and to do the eye with white and black acrylic paint. Then I topped it off with a coat of Seche Vite to seal everything in.

Models Own Speckled Egg Collection Spring 2014 Swatches

Hey everyone! I'm so excited for today's post, because I was lucky enough to get my hands on the gorgeous new Speckled Egg collection from Models Own, created for spring 2014. These polishes are absolutely gorgeous, and remind me of my favourite chocolate in the world: mini eggs! Which I was lucky enough to receive a packet of with this collection, but you won't see them in the pictures because I ate them... Oops! These are definitely suited to Easter, and they're also all amazingly opaque, as you'll see below.
