Spring Renewal Nail Art Challenge - Good Egg!


Is it really spring?  I know some folks got snow this week! It's so weird - usually we have the A/C on 24/7 by this time here in Florida, but I'm loving that today is breezy, and I have the house open.  I'm feeling totally renewed, and excited for this, ahem, Spring Renewal Challenge!

First, let's pretend that I have a pix of my white nails, painted perfectly (we're imagining, so why not!) with Revlon Spirit.

I picked up some Washi tape that had chevrons printed on it, so I used them as a template and cut out chevrons for my nails.  Soon after, I got a small set of Nail Vinyls of chevrons, but it was too late for this mani.  Something you could get, though, if you want easy chevrons!

yellow (Julep Nadia), pink (Julep Ellie) and blue (Joe Fresh Wave)

I tried to alternate between the yellow (Julep Nadia), pink (Julep Ellie) and blue (Joe Fresh Wave) but apparently, I can't do random patterns.  Also, Ellie fooled me with her pinkness in the bottle, but not so much on the nail.  April Fools!... a little late?

I took a dotting tool and some black to make some - and pardon me for getting a little technical here - dots.  In a chevron pattern.  Try to wrap your minds around that without hurting yourselves.

I think Orly Etoile may be the most subtle glitter I own.  Just a pinch of light purple sparkle.


Bottle shot:  Revlon Spirit, Joe Fresh Wave, Julep Nadia and Ellie, Wet 'n Wild Black Creme, and Orly Etoile.

This is probably as close to Easter Eggs as I'll get this year, except for candy ones.  My fave are the malted milk Robins' Eggs, but I have to have at least one Cadbury egg, and one Reese's Peanut Butter Egg, too.  What's your favorite egg?

  2. I'll be honest, I'm not much of a candy egg person. LOL. I love your nails though, super cute, and you had me laughing at "pardon me for getting technical". haha! :)

  4. These are really cute and seem like they'd be easy to do (despite those dots being super technical!). :) I have to have at least one Cadbuy Egg, but I might have to make it two this year. Those things are seriously addictive.

  6. I've already consumed more than my fair share of the cadbury eggs this season. I just love them! Its a bummer that Ellie turned out to be so sheer but the finished manicure is really cute.

Thank you for your comments! They mean so much to me, and I read all of them, even if I don't always have a chance to respond.
