Easter stripes

Hi lovelies,

I am on cloud 9 at the moment.  My beautiful cousin and her husband had their beautiful little boy yesterday.  Yes, our godson is here!!!  Remember I did this when we knew he was a he?  I can’t believe he is finally here.  But I will tell you more later 😀

After today there is just one more working day left for this week.  Yay!  I am quite looking forward the long weekend and all the busy-ness it brings.  With Easter just days away I have another something eastery to show you 🙂

 

For Valentines day I did a similar striped look which I found via pin on Pineterest.  You can see that here.  I decided to just change up the colour a little bit to suit the easter theme.  See, I told you you could switch up in many many colours 😉 **Edited to add** Even though I was completely unaware of it at the time, I have since seen Running With Lacquer has done almost exactly the same thing that she posted on Instagram.  She definitely deserves the credit!

I started off with 2 coats of Tip Top – Armour plate on all my nails.  Once that was completely dry, I taped off the sections using striping tape.  I then painted in the lines using:

• Yellow, Sinful Colors – Unicorn
• Orange, Sinful Colors – Orange cream
• Pink, Sinful Colors – Cotton Candy
• Lilac,  Sinful Colors – Candy Coated

in that order.  Except on my ring finger where I reversed the order.  I did one nail at a time and made sure to pull off the tape as quick as I could.  You can probably see on my pinky I made a little oopsie where the polish ‘leaked’ under the tape.

I really like this stripy look.  I liked it for valentines and I like it for easter too.  What do you think of it?  What colours would you have used?  What other occasion would you use the stripes for?

I have entered the Nailpolis Easter nail art contest.  If you have a minute to spare, please could you pop on over here and cast a vote.  Thank you so much.
