Nail Arts For Easter
1 Easter Bunny Accent Nail
I will start with my personal favourite, The Easter bunny Accent nail art. I love this one for it’s sheer simplicity and all you have to do to turn it instantly into a regular manicure is to wipe off the polish from just one nail and put a fresh coat of colour.
Here are the steps:
- Start by wiping off any residues from old nail polish.
- You can cut, shape and file your nails, as per your personal preference. Flat edges work the best for this nail art.
- Next, apply some cuticle oil to soften your cuticles. It is important to nourish your nails.
- Then, use any Pastel coloured nail paint of your choice to paint your nails. Glossy and Shimmery shades do not work too well for this nail art.
- Quick dry nail polishes are always prefered. Let the first coat dry out.
- For the accent nail, paint the upper half with White and lower half with Pastel colour.
- Apply at least two coats for a good dose of colour. Let the second coat dry completely.
- Now, Use a White nail art pen or a Fine brush dipped in Opaque, White nail enamel to properly define a semi-circle. The base of the semi-circle rests on the edge of your nails.
- The bunny ears can be easily made with help of triangular shapes. Just keep them a bit long to resemble a bunny’s ears.
- A dotting tool dipped in Black nail colour can be used to depict the eyes of the bunny.
