Happy Easter!

Apart from consuming my own body weight in chocolate (and Lord knows, I don't require a dedicated religious holiday to manage that), I haven't done much to celebrate Easter this year, other than these egg-wrapping inspired nails. I'm not really one for nail art considering my general lack of ability in that department but sure it's a bit of craic if nothing else. For me, Easter nails are all about the pastels. I picked up two of the Essies on Fragrance Direct.com for next to nothing recently and couldn't wait to try those out- that's Cascade Cool (pink) and Bikini so Teeny (blue).



  • Over the blue on my ring finger I put a coat of Luxe and Lush (that beautiful sparkly holographic top coat from the China Glaze Hunger Games collection). 
  • Over the pink I put a layer of Barry M's Gold Glitter. 
  • My thumb is Essies Topless and Barefoot (which I did a full review of HERE before) with dots of Bikini so Teeny.
  • My index finger is Ciate Apples and Custard with dots of Topshop's Heart of Gold and 
  • My baby finger is Max Factor Mellow Yellow with a tip of again, Topshop's Heart of Gold. 

Really if nothing else, this has been an exercise in showing me just how many nail polishes I own that I don't wear often enough..hmm.
If you've done your own Easter inspired nails I 'd love to see them, there's something about that particular theme that always cheers me up! Leave me a link in the comments if you've done a post!
Happy Easter!

  1. This looks so sweet! I completely forgot it was Easter weekend when packing to come home so forgot any pastels.. So I'm looking at everyone else's nails instead!
