Happy Easter! Eggs in the Grass

Hi everyone! Happy Easter to all. Even if you don't celebrate this one, you can't really go wrong with a day of pretty pastel colours, sweets, and cute spring animals :)

I've done some egg-themed nails for the occasion, using several nail polishes and some green acrylic paint.

The background is three coats of Essie Bikini So Teeny, the grass is green acrylic paint, and the rest is done with lots of assorted polishes. If anyone is interested I can give more details in the comments--just ask :) I painted the eggs onto a plastic bag to make decals, and then applied them to my grassy background with topcoat.

I had originally intended to put some grass over the eggs as well, to make them look hidden and more realistic, but I liked the way this looks and decided to leave them unobscured. So I topped it with Seche Vite and called it a day!

Time to go eat that chocolate bunny I was posing with ;) have a lovely day and I'll see you next time! xoxo

Delush-ous Pastel Rainbow Marble

Hiya! today I am very happy to show off my latest polish haul! Well, kinda. I don't have swatches, because honestly, I find plain swatching to be boring. That's why you don't see many posts like that on here! But Cris from Let Them Have Polish! did a wonderful swatch set of the Essence of Summer collection by Delush Polish, and two things happened for me immediately: 1) I fell in love with them, and 2) I got an enormous urge to do a water marble with them. So I ordered, and they arrived a few days ago. You should really check out her swatches, as each shade is BEAUTIFUL and looks stunning alone. But here's what they look like together in a marble!

Whimsical / Glitter in the Air Dupe

Hi all! Just a quick post today--still recovering, but wanted to show you what is on my nails now, because it's so pretty! I don't quite have the energy for elaborate nail art at the moment, but I wanted something soft anyway, and I thought it was the perfect time to pull out this polish I bought a few months ago.

Many of you polish lovers will remember when Revlon came out with their dupes of some fancy Deborah Lippman polishes. I bought quite a few of them, including Whimsical, the dupe of DL's Glitter In The Air. Soft sheer sky blue with sparse baby pink and blue hexes. I layered it over Soulstice Spa Kona, which is exactly like the base colour of Whimsical. Topped off with Seche Vite for shine.

(with flash) ahh, dreamy. Almost Eastery, actually.

I know this is nothing unique, really just a swatch, but wanted to show it off.

(no flash) this one is a bit more colour-accurate.

See you next time :) xoxo
