I wasn't sure what paint job I wanted to do for Easter. That is until I drove past the local park and saw a bunch of kids getting ready to do an Easter egg hunt. Light bulb. Easter egg nails. Super easy and won't be sad when I have to take them off Monday. Just picked through all my colors and got out all the pastels that didn't have a glitter or shine to them. And then I went a little crazy. I like some of them but really dislike the pinky. I also went with a matte top coat since most decorated eggs do not have a nice shiny finish (something about being super toxic).
Sinful Colors - Innocent, Why Not, Unicorn, Rise and Shine, Feeling Great, Easy Going, Amethyst
OPI - Do You Lilac It?
Wet & Wild - Sunny Side Up
Sally Hansen - Mint Sorbet, Sun Kissed
When not having a little too much fun painting my nails I am a chef. I don't wear polish in the kitchen so I have a lot of opportunities to paint my nails. My nails can get a little crazy but isn't that what nail art is about?

spring
I know it isn't technically spring yet but the cherry trees are in full blossom at the park across the street from my house. I can see them from my living room and they just look like spring. All the rest of the trees are still in winter mode so these blossoms are a refreshing site. But the more I look at this paint job the more it reminds me of Valentine's candy hearts.
I went with pastels with a matte top coat. Why a matte finish? Because the fog has been coming in and even though the day was glorious and sunny, the fog calms everything down. It is still bright out but there is a muted quality to everything. Plus, when the paint job gets a little stale in a day or two, I can spruce it up with a normal top coat.
Sinful Colors - Unicorn (yellow), Easy Going (pink)
Sally Hansen - Air (blue), Mint Sorbet (green/teal)
OPI - Do You Lilac It? (purple)
Is it too soon to do a spring themed paint job? What inspires you to use matte top coat?
