My Mani ~ Easter-y Chocolate Speckled Eggs


Hi lovelies!  I wanted to do my nails something kind of Easter-y this weekend, and just started playing around and came up with this!  The chocolate-brown hue of this Illamasqua polish was the perfect canvas for some fun pastel speckles.  {Click to keep reading!}






Here's what I used, left to right:  Illamasqua 'Taint', Sally Hansen: 'Mint Sorbet', 'Mellow Yellow', 'White On', and 'Lacey Lilac', and Essie 'Tart Deco'.


After two coats of the brown dried completely, I started speckling.  I wanted the speckles to be more irregular and random in shape, rather than dotted.  So I used toothpicks and 'dotted' at different angles.


And that's it!  I think it's a fun, unique, and season appropriate mani.  I like using different colors that are normally associated with a season in a new way.  (I did the same on my right hand, I just stink at using my camera with my left hand!)

  3. Oh so cool! Just because it really does simulate more easter egg than polka dots AND I have the white and mint colors at home already. Same exact ones. Thanks!
