    Easter Nail Final Look

For those who celebrate Easter, this simple nail art look has you covered. So ready, set, let’s deconstruct…

  1. Choose your favorite base coat and paint over clean dry nails.  We used “Top 2 Bottom” by Orly ($11).
  2. Next, we painted all nails with the pastel pink color “Fiji” by Essie ($8.50).   Allow nails to dry completely.
  3. Now it’s time for the nail art that will be placed on the ring fingers as accent nails.  Take any small bobby pin, unless you have a dotter tool (we’ve used a dotter from the Monster Bundle 20 piece set $13.50), and open it up for easier handling.  Now lightly coat the bobby pin or dotter tool with a top coat and proceed to take a small rhinestone (we’ve used 1.2mm rhinestones from the Born Pretty Store $1.99) and gently place and push into your nail. NOTE: You may create any desired design. For this look, we simply created a vertical row using three 1.2mm rhinestones.
  4. Finish off painting your nails with your favorite top coat.  We topped them off with  “Gel Setter” by Essie ($10.00).
  5. Optional: Once nails are completely dry, gently massage some Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream ($6) to give hands a healthy glow.

Accent Glitter Nails

I will be the first to admit that I’m a glitter junkie.  My eyes simply gravitate to all things that are pretty and sparkly — just like 99% of the female population.  So for those who are just as obsessed with glitter nails as I am, enjoy this quick and easy tutorial.

  1.  Apply a base coat onto clean dry nails.  For this look, we used Orly’s “Top 2 Bottom” ($11).
  2. Working on a nail at a time, apply 2 to 3 coats of Essie polish in “Tuck it in my tux” ($8.50).  Allow the nails to dry in between coats.
  3. Use a sheer glitter nail lacquer, like Orly’s “Halo” ($8.50) and apply one coat to your ring finger.
  4. Finish off painting your nails with your favorite top coat. We topped them off with “Gel Setter” by Essie ($10.00).
