NOTD: Easter Smoosh

If you follow me on Instagram (@danninailnerd) you may have seen that I took part in the #smooshynailsunday last week for the first time. So this week I have taken part again but this time I also added some stamping. Perfect colours for Easter!

To start as always I applied a base coat to all my nails. Then I painted just one coat (which is why it looks a little bit patchy) of Barry M Cotton.

For the smoosh I applied the polishes as shown on the stamper and then pressed it onto my nail, sometimes more than once, until I was happy with the coverage. I used all Barry M polishes, Lemon Ice Cream, Kiss Me Quick, Lap Of Honour and Pole Position. I applied Rainbow Connection Zap Skin Protector around my nail to make clean up easier.

This is the smoosh with top coat applied. I have posted this on my Instagram as my solo shot for the #smooshynailsunday, I have also posted the collage of everyone's together if you want to take a look at it.

I then decided to stamp over the smoosh. They are perfect colours for Easter, so I stamped this design from MoYou London Festive Collection plate 22 using MoYou London White Knight.

To complete the mani I applied a top coat of Seche Vite to all nails.

NOTD: Mini Eggs

Mmmmm Mini Eggs! I do love Easter :)

I applied a base coat to all nails as always. Then on my thumb I painted 2 coats of Ciate Pepperminty, on my index finger Barry M Lap Of Honour, on my middle finger Barry M Lemon Ice Cream, on my ring finger Barry M Kiss Me Quick and on my little finger Barry M Eat My Dust.

To create the speckled egg look I used a dotting tool and randomly applied Barry M Mushroom until I was happy with how it looked.

And to make them look even more like Mini Eggs I applied the Barry M Matte top coat to all nails.

Happy Easter 2015!

Here are my easter nails for this year :)

I started with my base coat. Then on my thumb I painted 2 coats of Barry M Prickly Pear, on my index finger 2 coats of Barry M Mint Green, on my middle finger 2 coats of Barry M Peach Melba, on my ring finger 2 coats of Barry M Lemon Ice Cream and on my little finger 2 coats of Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream.

On my ring finger I created a chick in a shell. I used a dotting tool for all of this, I did the eyes using China Glaze Liquid Leather, the nose using Avon Coral Beat and for the shell China Glaze White On White.

For the other nails I stamped part of the pattern from MoYou Festive plate 22 using Konad White. Once stamped I then used a dotting tool to fill in some parts of the pattern using one of the colours from another nail.

I then finished it all off with a top coat of Seche Vite and that is the mani done!
