Egg-cellent

Hello!

This week's manicure was inspired by the colors and decorations of Easter. I came up with this one on my own. For this look you will need a pastel blue nail polish, a silver nail polish, a purple nail polish and a dotting tool.

I started with a base coat of OPI nail envy. I then did two coats of Sei Bella Robin's Egg Blue. Using a small dotting tool and Icing Heavy Metal, I did a horizontal row of dots across the middle of the nail. I then used a smaller sized dotting and Julep Bette, to make another row of dots below the first row. I kept doing this until my entire nail was covered with alternating rows of purple and silver dots. I did this design on my middle and pinky finger nails. I then used a small dotting tool and Julep Bette to make an outline of an oval at the center of the nail. I then used Icing Heavy Metal and a dotting tool, to do a smaller oval inside of the first oval. I did this design on my ring and pointer fingernails. Once everything was completely dry, I finished my manicure with a fast drying top coat of INM Out the Door.

Finished!

This manicure is very colorful, it goes perfectly with Easter decor.  The patterns remind me of something I would see on an Easter egg. If you want to tone this down, you could change the middle and pinky fingernail design with a solid color like silver or purple and that way, it's not as busy. Well, I hope you enjoyed this look and I will see you next time!
