I'll take any excuse to do some fun nail art and it just so happens that Easter is actually a pretty good one. It's especially good because it's the time of year for soft, pretty pastel shades. This year I chose to be a little more subtle than last year. I picked my favourite pastel polishes and did white zigzag and polka dot designs. Still couldn't resist adding a cute little chick hatching out of a shell though!

If you're looking for easter nail art inspiration, check out the chicks and bunnies I did last year -  HERE. I also did a pastel water marbled manicure which is a great option for Easter too if you're up for a challenge and want something different and very pretty.

Bunnies, Chicks and Eggs - Easter's here!

7 April 2012



Hello Lovelies! I thought I'd say a very quick hello and wish you all a happy Easter!

I had a bit of spare time yesterday afternoon so I thought a little Easter themed nail art would be fun. A few little chicks and the easter bunny sprang to mind as a cute idea, what else could be better for Easter?!!

I used the regular nail polish brush to do the main shape of the bunny (the white part) and chicks (the yellow). I added details like the beaks and bunny's nose using toothpicks dipped in polish. The eyes were just a dot of black with a smaller dot of white on top.

One of the best things about living in Korea is that nail art like this is quite normal, whereas in England some people might think it was a bit too cutesy or childish, here I can wear it with total pride! Today at the hairdresser a few people complimented me on them and one woman asked which nail place I'd had them done. I'm not sure they look that good but I can't deny I was pretty chuffed when she said that, I gave myself a little pat on the back! Clearly it was an afternoon well spent!

As for how my hair went...

I took the plunge and had a slight ombre look done but I'm not sure about it just yet! I feel like it's not actually defined enough, which funnily, is the exact opposite problem to what I was worrying about. Typical, huh?!

I'm going to wash it and style it myself tomorrow to try and make my mind up on it. Does anyone else find that your hair can look so different once you've done it yourself?

Happy Easter everyone, I hope you have a lovely weekend!
