Colourful Spring Nail Art

Here’s my easter / spring nail art for 2016. It incorporates multiple pastel shades to capture the colours that emerge in nature during spring, as well as the pretty speckles of colour on easter eggs.

Easter / Spring Nails

This Easter / Spring nail look features pretty pastels in stripes and polka dots.

The base is one of my favourite pastel purple polishes, OPI Done Out In Deco. The pink stripes are a light pink nail art polish from L.A. Colors. This shade was also used for some of the dots along with China Glaze Peachy Keen, Zoya Heather, and Essie Mint Candy Apple.

What will you be wearing on your nails this Spring?

Double Rainbows Nail Art

 


Welcome to spring! Even if the weather’s still a bit cool where you are, the first day of spring marks the beginning of the end of the winter (and the cold weather). I thought it would be nice to honour spring’s arrival with this double rainbows nail look.

Review: Born Pretty Store Bunny Nail Art Stickers

With March beginning next week and Easter just around the corner, designs featuring pastels, polka dots, decorated eggs, chicks, flowers, and bunnies will soon show up on nails again.

This cute set of rabbit-themed Nail Art Stickers* from Born Pretty Store is my first attempt at a spring nail look for 2015.




This set comes with 14 nail art stickers with polka dots, bunny paw prints, and bunny faces in shades of pink, white, and chocolate brown. They are meant to last for seven days and require zero drying time. They are very easy to apply and have a similar application procedure to stickers from other brands like Sally Hansen and Incoco. I had to trim some of them just a bit because my nails are so tiny. As you can see from the photos above, I’m not wearing any of the bunny face stickers. This is because they were much larger than any of my nails. I think they would look very cute on my big toes though.

What I really like about these nail stickers is that they really don’t have much of a nail polish smell like some of the nail stickers that I have tried from other brands. Not to mention, they only cost $1.67 USD with FREE worldwide shipping! Compared to the other brands which can cost $10-$15 at drugstores in Canada, these stickers are a real bargain. You can also save 10% by using the code Beauty4K31. One downside is that they did start to lift a bit in the shower after a few days of wear. I was able to smooth them back down though.

Overall, I think that these Nail Art Stickers are a great product for the price. If you are looking for a inexpensive, quick and easy spring nail look that involves no drying time and no nail polish smell, you may want to give these Nail Art Stickers a try.

NOTD: Essie Go Ginza + Shine of the Times

For me, spring nails are all about pretty pastels. For the last couple months, I have been wearing creamy pastel peaches, pinks, and purples. While I love the look of pastel nails, they can get a bit redundant. To achieve a bit of uniqueness, I decided to add a bit of sparkle to one of my latest manicures.

The base of this look is Go Ginza by Essie. I wrote a full review on this polish last June that you can view HERE. I topped off this pretty purple pastel with Shine of the Times which I featured in my Top 10 Essie Polishes post. For this look, I used two coats of Go Ginza and one coat of Shine of the Times. The little iridescent flakies in Shine of The times applied smoothly over Go Ginza and lasted for over a week without any wear.

I really like this combination for spring. What are your thoughts on it?
