Easter nail art: Bunnies, chicks and speckled eggs


Happy Easter!

It’s been two months since my last blog post (tut tut!) – I’ve probably painted my nails at least 20 times since then but haven’t kept up to date with photographs. I don’t think you’ve missed anything spectacular, but some of the highlights include going girly pink for Cosmopolitan March and matching my nails to April Vogue (both accidents). 

The pink nail polish on the left is Chanel Fracas. I have never had so many positive remarks on my nails than when I was wearing this shade. From women on the Tube to middle-aged men in lifts, everyone took notice of this bright colour. It’s part of Chanel’s Spring 2013 collection and I have a sneaky suspicion it’s limited edition, so get it quick.


As you may have noticed from previous posts, I love a theme. Easter has provided the perfect opportunity to bring some spring fun to my nails.

The speckled nails are a mixture of Butter, Avon and L'Oréal  pastel shades. The black and white dots were created by L'Oréal’s very clever Confetti top coat. It’s an absolute nightmare to remove but it’s a great way to create patterned nails in seconds.


It wouldn’t be Easter without chicks and rabbits. I drew these on with WAH Nails for Model’s Own nail art pens.


Enjoy the rest of the long weekend and all of that chocolate.
