Easter manicure

On my left hand:

Thumb: Kiko 332, smooth application, beautiful colour;
Index: Debby 206, love the colour, very easy to apply and very opaque, I did 2 coats for good measure but 1 would have been ok too;
Medium: Kiko 288, love the colour, Barbie pink slightly pulling violet, 3 coats;
Ring: Illamasqua Serenity, gorgeous turquoise, amazing application, 2 coats, self-levelling, dries to a rubber finish but I like glossy so I topped it with Essence "Better than gel nails" top coat;
Pinky: Catrice Planet Tokyo, lovely bright green, very easy application, 2 coats.

Index: Gosh Peachy, I love this colour, it's dark peach, I had to do 3 coats for full opacity;
Medium: Sinful Colors Pink Forever, lovely Barbie pink, opaque in 3 coats;
Ring: Illamasqua Noble, gorgeous turquoise, slightly darker than Serenity, fantastic application, fully opaque in 2 coats;

Stamping:

I used a combination of designs from Nailways "Spring Time - Easter Bunny" and HB Nails HB38 plates, plus Konad M60 and an Essence plate for the flowers. I love all of these plates and I highly recommend them!

Belated Christmassy mani

Stamping over Catrice Rest in the Forest, which is a lovely wintery colour, it's a champagne with pink microglitter throughout (the last picture shows it the best out of the 5). I thought it suited this theme perfectly. I was a bit sloppy in the stamping of some of the designs (no fault of the plates), I have yet to master this art, chances are I never will but whatever, I have fun! Still I love it, it's very wintery and matches the freezing cold weather we've been having over the last few days.
