Easter Nail Art 2017 – #2 | Simple Nail Art Tutorial

Happy Easter!! This round (see my last design) I created a more obvious Easter Nail Art design. This design doesn’t require any stamping. The only tool that I used was a dotting tool.

For this design, I decided to challenge myself and attempt to use my dotting tools again. The first time I used them it didn’t go so well. I was also aiming to create my first character.

Using a basic OPI white for the base, I started with the chicken first, as this would be the nail that would most likely fail. I have seen this design quite a lot and have been keen to attempt it myself. My freehand art isn’t that great. So I used painting tape (masking tape) to cut out a broken eggshell pattern. This became my template to paint the chicken.

I then used the dotting tool for both the eyes and nose. I chose large white dots, in which I placed smaller black dots over the top. Just be careful with the placement of the black dots, otherwise, you may end up with cross-eyed chickens. For the nose, I made a rounded heart shape with a small dotting tool.

For my other nails, I used the dotting tool to create yellow and purple polka dots so that it would look like Easter Eggs. Initially, I was planning to use three colours but I feel if I went ahead with this plan the design would look overcrowded.

I’m so glad I was able to get the dotting tool to work!! One thing I have learned is to not be afraid of putting too much polish on the tool. I wasn’t putting enough on in my first attempt at using the tool and thus failed miserably.

Let me know in the comments if you would attempt this Easter Nail Art Design.

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
