Easter Eggstravaganza

Happy Easter everyone!  Hope you're all enjoying the festive season (if I can use that term?).  And remember, chocolate and lollies are a sometimes food . . . (sometimes during each day!!!).

Before I get onto a couple of Easter nail designs, I thought I would share with you my favourite Easter goodies.  Well, I can't literally share them with you, one, because I haven't got enough to go around, two, because they haven't invented eatable internet yet (and lookout when they do!), and three, because I don't wanna! 

All jokes aside, I ADORE marshmallow eggs.  A uniquely Kiwi treat (but slowly becoming more readily available in Oz), these delights come in a number of different flavours.  Plain marshmallow & chocolate (as pictured below) is the original, but you can get Pineapple Lumps flavour (as pictured below) and Hokey Pokey (which is like a soft honeycomb goodness).

I also have a soft spot for Cadbury Creme Eggs, which come in the "egg" form, or the Twisted bar form (as pictured below). 

Finally, I can't go past a good Hot Cross Bun - without the orange peel please, and HOT, not cold, thank you!  What are your favourite Easter goodies?

 

 

Now for a couple of nail designs I prepared earlier.

 

 

 

 

 





As you can see, I'm still working out how to drive the Glamart Nail Art Pens, but at least the colours are occasion appropriate.

Australis Nail Colour

 

With Easter fast approaching, I wanted to share some polishes that I've recently acquired.

 

 

 Knickers In A Knot is a hot coral/orangey-pink polish with a shine finish.

Acid Rain is a fluro yellow polish, with a slightly matte finish.

Sky's the Limit is a cornflower blue polish, with a finish which is a cross between a matte and shine.

Aqua is, well, a light aqua polish (almost Tiffany's green), with a shine finish.

Manic Panic is a grape polish with a shine finish.

Paparazzi Purple is a grape polish, with a shimmer finish.

At this point, I should also mention Blue Tiger which I have previously reviewed here.  Blue Tiger is a violet polish, with a matte finish.

I love the colours in the Australis collection, especially the two matte colours, Blue Tiger and Acid Rain.  The matte finish gives them a different texture to a lot of polishes out there at the moment, and it also makes Konad stamping stand out a little better.

I would really like to use these polishes to do Easter Egg designs - they're certainly the right colours for it - but I'm just not sure I'm that skilled at using the brushes to paint with.  We'll see.  I might Konad over top of them, or even use my nail art pens.  Stay tuned.
