Hey guys! Today I’m going to show you how I did my nails for Easter! I used light and
pastel colors to make Easter egg designs, and an adorable Easter bunny! I think the
nails are cute, and if you want to see how I did them, keep watching!
First you need to gather a few light or pastel nail polishes. I used “Green with Envy”
by Sally Hansen, I couldn’t open the OPI, so I switched it for “Fog” by Sally Hansen,
“Paparazzi Don’t Preach” by Nicole by OPI, “Mint Cream” by E.L.F., and “All
Things Girly” by Jesse’s Girl. You’ll also need a clear nail polish, and
some colorful acrylic paints; mine are from JoAnne’s fabric store. To make these lighter,
mix the colors with a white paint. Also get something like this sticky note pad to mix
paints on. Lastly you’ll need a dotting tool and a
long, thin nail art brush. Start by painting your nails with the clear
nail polish. Having this base coat will protect your nails from staining and help keep your
design on better. Take one of your light colors, I used the
peach, and paint your pinky nail. Now take a different color, like the green, and paint
your ring finger. Next I used mint on my middle finger, and then the shimmery white on my
pointer finger. Lastly I used the nude color on my thumb. Now you have to wait for you
base colors to dry completely. Here are some rolls of nail tape. They’re
used for making nail designs, and are colorful one side and sticky on the other. They’re
also very thin. I got these from BornPrettyStore.com and will have a link to them in the description
box, and a coupon code you can use to get a 10% off anything you purchase there.
I’m using the light blue one to make a horizontal line across my pointer finger. You just roll
it on, then press it to your nail. Use nail clippers to cut it the width of your nail.
Do the same thing with the yellow one. Then do it one last time with the light pink nail
tape. Squirt out some of your white acrylic paint,
and use your dotting tool to pick it up and draw the outline of a bunny head on your ring
finger. This will be the accent nail. Make the head shape first, and when you’re content
with it, use the smaller side of the dotting tool to make the ear shapes. Let this dry
before you add details on its face. Now take your colorful paints, and squeeze
some out onto the sticky note. The darker colors will be mixed with white to make a
pastel color. All of the colors will have white added except the yellow because it’s
already light enough. Also, you need a bit of pink for the bunny.
Use your nail brush to pick this up and paint the inside of the bunny’s ear. To start
the Easter egg designs, pick up the yellow and paint a zigzag on your pinky finger. Also
paint a line across your thumb. Here I’m showing you how to mix the color to make it
pastel. After mixing it, use that lilac color to make dots across your pointer finger, your
pinky finger, and your thumb. Use the light orange to make dots on your pinky, and vertically
down your middle finger. Use the green to paint a line across your
pinky, a squiggle down your middle finger, a zig-zag on your thumb, and dots on your
pointer finger. Use the blue to make dots down your middle finger, across your pinky,
across your pointer finger, and on your thumb. Use the pink to give the bunny a nose, and
use the yellow to make one more zig zag on your middle and pinky nails. Also put an orange
one on your thumb. Use some black paint to add eyes to your bunny so it can see! Don’t
forget to give your bunny whiskers as well. So now you’re done painting everything,
and all you have to do is wait for it all to dry and add a topcoat to seal it all in.
Make sure it dries fully so you don’t mess it up with the topcoat. The one I’m using
is a quick-drying topcoat from Revlon. Lightly paint it on top of your nails to seal in the
paint and add a great shine! And now you’re done! I hope you all liked
my Easter egg and bunny nail art! Don’t forget to check out the link to the nail tapes
down below, and If you really like my design, please share it with your friends, or try
it out for yourself. I hope you all have a great Easter! Thanks for watching, and I’ll
see you in my next video. Bye!
