Easter Bunny Nails | Tutorial

I love Easter, it's one of my favourite times of the year (yes, because I have an excuse to eat more chocolate than usual) But I love to keep my nails to a theme too, and for Easter, Yes you guessed it! Easter bunnies!

I was actually quite impressed with how they turned out, seen as I'm no nail expert:

Here's what you will need to create the same nail look as me:

From L-R; Collection nail polish in Dynasty, Rimmel Lycra Pro nail polish in Urban Princess, Rimmel Lycra Pro nail polish in Black Pearl, Wet 'n' Wild French Manicure White nail polish and Nail Dotting pens.

Step 1: Paint your nails with any base colour you like, I used Collection's nail polish in Dynasty. Make sure you have a smooth opaque base, I applied two coats.

Step 2: Paint almost half of your nail white and make sure it's rounded at the edges otherwise it won't look like a bunny's head. And using large dotting tool paint on the bunny's ears.

Step 3: Paint on the bunny's eyes with a black nail polish using a small-ish dotting tool. And once dried put an even smaller white dot in the centre of the black one, so they look like eyes.

Step 4: Using a bright pink colour, I used Rimmel Lycra Pro nail polish in Urban Princess, to add the inside of the bunny's ears and of course a cute little nose too.

I chose to only paint two of fingers with a bunny design but you can paint them however you wish to. I hope you enjoyed my mini tutorial showing you how to create a simple, fuss-free Easter bunny design. I really like them and will probably have them on my nails for some time after Easter too, as they are just too cute to get rid of!

Will you be trying these Easter bunny nails out?

Gelly Nails | Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint | Review

Barry M have recently released a new selection of colours in their Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint range, their whole collection consists of muted down nudes, pastels and bright eye-popping shades. Since they released this collection, sleek, glossy, wet-look nails have the been incredibly popular. Me being me I picked up; prickly pear, a lovely lilac shade. I never actually owned a shade like this before (which is hard to believe considering the amount of nail polish I own).

Barry M Gelly Nail Paint (Prickly Pear) £3.99

They apply like a dream and all I need you need is two coats, or one if your pretty heavy handed like me sometimes. As far as longevity goes they are pretty good and don't tend to chip easily, so I don't usually bother with clear top coat, however I sometimes like to add a clear top coat (just in case). They are really cheap for only £3.99 each and fantastic for if you're on a budget! Overall I am really impressed with these polishes and would love to try some more their shades. Barry M are one of my favourite nail polish brands but I don't think anything would beat my love for Essie.

Do you own any shades from the Gelly Hi-Shine range? What do you think of them?
