Eggstra!

That headline has some serious boozy Suzi potential, but let's not mind that and take a quick look at my Easter manicures. Not the most creative stuff ever seen, but they were fun making, and even wearing - for several minutes!


This was the first one I made. Not very complicated at all, just colorful skittles with white crackle. Little colorful half-hatched eggs. Actually, I was going to do this one for Easter last year, but I was too lazy to redo my nails at all, and I just reused the idea this year instead. All polishes are from OPI, besides White Shatter, they are, from left to right, thumb to pinky: Suzi Says Feng Shui, Green-Wich Village, Need Sunglasses?, Flit a Bit, Kiss Me On My Tulips.


Cross-eyed eggs? Well, it was a good idea, but perhaps not very boldly executed. My fried (?) eggs were done with Essie Marshmallow and OPI Need Sunglasses?, the yellow spots with the largest dotting tool I own. They should have been bigger, but I wasn't feeling confident enough to paint round objects freehand.

Not that I really celebrate Easter - I'm not religious at all and I don't particularily care for big family gatherings, but on the other hand I'm a sucker for nice food and seasonal sweets. Most of all, I hardly ever miss an opportunity to do some seasonal nails!

Swedish word of the day:
påsk -noun Easter
Not my favourite holiday.

  1. I find the eggs very amusing - such a different take on an Easter mani. I like the other one as well, but for different reasons. :)

  4. OoOoo! Egg nails! I love it! I wonder if applying white crackle before the yolk dotting would look like cracked eggs? Ha!

  7. I like this one because the colors look so bright and squishy under the crackle - nice contrast!

  10. I love the first idea with crackle, I will try it but probably with more pastel colors because I'm still afraid of colors ;)
