Chevron Chick Nail Design
Living After Midnite
Chick out this amazing manicure! Each nail is painted with a bold purple and adorned with bright pink and silver glitter chevron stripes. And we can't forget that adorable accent nail with a chick hatching from an egg!
Pastel polish swirled into a marble design makes for the perfect, whimsical springtime look. To copy it, drip a few drops of your chosen colors into a cup of water, swirl those colors around with a toothpick, then dip your nails into the pattern. After a moment, gently lift!
Polka dots, bright shades, glitter, and a peeping bunny come together to make the cutest manicure that can be worn by kids and adults alike! Just get ready for so many compliments while at Easter brunch.
This pretty pastel striped design is just eggs-cellent—and so reminiscent of all the Easter eggs you're sure to dye for the holiday! Use a sponge to blend out the colors.
It hardly gets more festive than the Easter bunny surrounded by fabulous florals! This one can be recreated with dotting tools and nail tape. We also love the single abstract nail and unique color scheme: hot pink, deep purple, red, and teal.
For a striped set that stands out amongst the sea of spring pastels, go for hues that are slightly darker, but still perfect for the day. You can also ditch the blending sponge and use nail tape for a more defined design.
The only downside to this idea? You'll be craving speckled egg candies all day! Copy the look of the beloved sweet treat by using matte pastel nail polish as the base, then dots of white and brown on top.
