Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all my lovely readers.

Enjoy!

 

 

Cute Easter bunnies with velvet

Let's start today with yesterday's mani :D

Having some sick kids around makes it hard to do anything else besides taking care of them.

 

Therefore Yesterday'mani was a quickie.

Not my best but I still think it's cute :D

 

 

I've started with two coats of Bourjois 06 Adora-bleu and applied a topcoat to speed up the drying time.

Then I used the same topcoat as glue for the green velvet making the field. I worked one nail at the time.

Then I used a striper brush and Rimmel 840 Blue Eyed Girl to paint the bunnies and let it dry completely.

Again I took the topcoat, this time making larger dots as glue for the bunny tails which is actually light blue glitter velvet.

I chose blue for Autism Awereness month but if I had to do this mani again I would have used cotton for the bunny tails.

I finished by painting small flowers on the velvet field.

 

Easter nails

I'm interrupting my Autism nails for Easter nails.

Easter nails are fun to make and won't be of any use when I post them after April right?

So, I'll probably be doing some Easter nails for the next couple of days.

 

I'm not sure if today was a good day.

Almost every nail art I've done in the past was with the use of polish only.

Today I finally discovered acrylic paint and I'm not sure if I want to go back to polish anymore.

The benefits:

- No more polishes drying out as they are only used as lacquer

- Unlimited colors cause you can mix the acrylic paint anyway you want

- Cheaper than polishes

- More efficient. You come a far way with a little acrylic paint. When it dries out...simply add some water and it's good to go again.

- Easier to correct. Acrylic paint can be removed with water. When you mess up...wash your hands and you can start all over again.

 

I knew all of this before but it always felt a bit like cheating...

Artists use acrylic paint; nail artists use polish.

 

But I'm not sure anymore...

What do you think?

 

Here are my first Easter nails for this year:
