I didn’t really do much for Easter since everyone just happened to be really busy, but I did do these nails to get into the spirit just a bit. Bunnies and eggs are on the cute side of the holiday and these are the elements I incorporated into this manicure. I ordered these decals a few months back because the pretty eggs and bunnies made out of flowers caught my eye. I thought it was an unusual spin on the theme. This is actually the first Easter-themed manicure I’ve ever done and I like the look so I think I’ll probably do something similar next year.
I paired the decals with a cream polish with light gold shimmer. This shade is actually a favorite of mine, but I’ve learned the hard way that unless I want it to be transparent, this needs a base to layer over because getting it to be opaque on the nail requires around six coats and more time and patience than I possess. Just in case you own a nail polish shade that is too sheer to be worn on its own (unless you’re going for a sheer look), layering it over a more opaque color is a great way to get around this hurdle. The rest of the nails are knit decals.
Hope everyone enjoyed their Easter. Thank you for reading. Be kind. Be you.
If it speaks to you, I used:
China Glaze Strong Adhesion base coat, here
China Glaze Fast Forward top coat, here
Bunnies and eggs nail decals, you can find similar cute versions here and here
Knit decals, here
Zoya ’Gaia’ nail polish, turns out this is no longer sold anywhere except eBay, but I know of a similar shade by China Glaze here
Essie ‘Coconut Cove’ nail polish (but any white or creamy shade can be used just as easily), here

I also think that if we are losing the Easter spirit a little, the families no longer get together, it’s up to us to contract this even with a nail art.
