Bunny Love

Easter is over and everything is sold for half the price at least. How couldn't I buy these cuties? Two sweet golden bunnies and a pink heart made of the finest Lindt chocolate are framed by a nice box with flowers and butterflies.

I felt the urge to recreate this design on my nails. The base is essence floral GRUNGE Lily Bloom. Then I painted the heart with a pink metallic polish (IsaDora 629 Icy Purple looks exactly like pink foil). Because I wanted the bunnies filled with colour I did them like stamper decals.

On my thumb and pinkie I stamped various floral and butterfly patterns from essence and cheeky plates with the same pink and golden polishes.

The next step was to paint the golden border on the nail tips. I set pink and golden dots between the thin and thick golden parts. And a top coat over all.

Candy Shock and Easter Eggs

Now even if the real spring doesn't seem to come to Germany, the polish manufacturer are competing to release more and more of new colours and limited editions. Apparently one of the new trends is tender colours, pastel tones and the like.
I couldn't resist these two:

They belong to the SOFT NAIL LACQUER LIMITED EDITION CANDY SHOCK. The pic above was taken in artificial light, the one down there - in the day light, which represent colours more truthfully.

First I tried out C04 Vanilla Love. The polish is very tender pastel yellow (you might even say vanilla colour) with fine yellow or goldish shimmering. One coat applied:

It looks somewhat transparent. It is also recommended to apply two coats. Two coats cover the nail pretty well. Artificial light makes the colour look more intense. But we don't wear polish only by daylight, do we?

Once more in daylight:

And I hope here the shimmer could be seen, at least in the bottle:

Such lovely background could not be wasted by leaving it plain. Since Easter monday isn't over I need more eggs and bunnies!

Easter Eggs

Е-ей! Заўтра будзе каталіцкі Вялікдзень. Куды не паглядзішь, трапіш на зайчыкаў, яйкі і куранятак. Чамусьці ў Эўропе засталіся папулярнымі паганскія сімвалы, можа стацца, што Саус Парк мае рацыю ў сваем тлумачэнні зайцоў на Вялікдзень. Праўда - яна як вядома недзе побач.
Некалькі тыдняў таму я набыла шаблоны серыі "Вясновы час" ад Nailways (галандскі онлайн-шоп). Зараз самы час карыстацца імі!

Yeah, Easter! But the catholic one. There are bunnies and eggs and chickens everywhere...
For some time I got the Spring Time set of stamping plates by Nailways. Today it was a perfect day to use it.

Я зноў ухапілася за лак з "гелевым выглядам" ад p2. Гэтак ён яшчэ зробіцца маім улюбёным лакам... Цёмна-сіні колер добра спалучаецца з залатым (Catrice Goldfinger), які я ўзяла для акцента на безыменным пальцы. Я настэмпіла на сярэдні палец вялікае яйка золатам. Узор сам па сабе вельмі вялікі і не змяшчаецца цалкам на маіх пазногцях. Але большая частка такі змяшчаецца, так што можна лёгка распазнаць "размаляванае" яйка. Безыменны палец я настэмпіла другім узорам (дождж з вялікодных яек) тым жа сінім лакам.

So I resorted once again to the "gel like looking" polish by p2. It combines perfectly with gold (Catrice Goldfinger). I stamped the middle finger nail with a big patterned egg. The pattern itself is too big for my nails, but the most part of it could be still placed on so that you can recognize the EGG. And my ring finger is painted with gold, but stamped with the same blue polish.

Я не задаволена маім фотаапаратам. Тут можно ўбачыць розніцу, калі здымаць пры дзённым святле.

I am not really satisfied with my camera. :( You can see the difference in the daylight.
