Nails on Sunday - Easter Inspired!

Just a quick post for today as I'm off to enjoy the Easter festivities in the form of working my way through a copious amount of gigantic chocolate Easter eggs!


Today's nail art was inspired by classic pastel coloured eggs, with an aztec-y print all over. To create this look I used Barry M Blue Moon, MUA 24 Lilac and my Black Models Own Nail Art Pen. Despite being only £1 (!),  I am pleasantly surprised at the formula of the MUA nail polish. This was the first product I have ever tried from MUA, and the nail polish is so pigmented you only need one coat to acheive the desired colour, compared to my three coats of Barry M Blue Moon. 

Firstly, I painted my nails in alternate Blue and Lilac colours. I used Nails Inc Basil Street as a base coat before painting one coat of MUA Lilac and three coats of Barry M Blue Moon.


I then carefully drew a zig-zag line across each nail with the Black Models Own Nail Art Pen, before filling in smaller dots and making it into a pattern over each nail. Finally I finished with my usual Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Topcoat to smoothen out the finish and protect the design from chipping.


Hope everyone is having a good Easter Sunday and bank holiday weekend!
