Bunny Trail- Easter

Hello everyone! Happy Spring Time and Happy Easter! I don't know about all of you, but I am ready for the nice weather, even though this winter was not to bad, at lest where I live. Today we will be creating a cute Spring time/ Easter bunny nail design. 

 Easter Bunny Nail design
Follow the Bunny Trail to some nice weather! Happy Easter! 

The nail polish and tools used for this design will be right next to the images as we go.

The skill level for this bunny nail design is:

 Beginners to Intermediate 

This design for the most part is simple with just glitter on two of the nails, and a simple dot flower. The only two nails that might be a little bit harder is the lager bunny and small bunny due to some of the small details. 


Let's follow our little bunny to some warm weather! 

 
Base Coat used- CND Stickey Base coat 

1. Start off with a thin layer of base coat to protect your nails.

 Zoya Spring 2015 Delight collection
 Polishes used- Zoya Spring 2015 colors and NYC Brownstone

2. Paint half of your thumb nail with a shimmery blue (Zoya Rayne) and make a curved shape for your bunny head with a brown polish. Then paint your index finger nail with a shimmery yellow (Zoya Daisy), your middle finger nail a cream pink (Zoya Eden), your ring finger nail a light cream blue (Zoya Lillian) and your pinky nail a shimmery purple (Zoya Leslie). 

 
Sally Hansen- Triple Shine- Twinkled Pink

3. For the middle finger nail we will keep it simple with just some glitter on the middle finger nail, you can use a glitter that has a pink sheer base to it with some silver glitters in it. 

4. On your pinky nail that has the simmery purple polish we will once again add the same glitter polish on it. 


 Acrylic paint yellow, red, and blue mixed together to make brown, 
and Winstoina small detail brush.

5. Next we will create a small bunny on our ring finger. First we need to make mix yellow, red an blue paint together to make a brown color. It is much easier to paint small details like our little bunny with paint then polish, that is why we are using paint. Anyways first make a small circle for his head, then oval for his body, a small circle for his little tail, and one swipe of the brush in the back for one leg, then two swipes for two legs in the front.

 
6. Our bunny is missing his cute face, so we need to fix that. Take your small detail brush with some white acrylic paint, and make two small dot for the eyes, a small dot for the nose, then two small lines on the sides for the whiskers, for the ears just swipe one line on each ear. 

 
7. Now for our bunny's close up. On the thumb nail take the same brown polish that you used to make the bunny's face, take the brush in the polish and just swipe the brush from the top of the head to half way up the nail for the ears, do this two times for the ears.

 
 Sally Hansen- Hard as Nails- Black Heart, white acrylic paint, large dotting tool, 
thin liner brush. 

8. Our little bunny is kind of shy, so he will only be peaking out from the thumb nail. With your large dotting tool dipped into black polish make two dots in the middle of your bunny's face for the eyes. Then with white paint make a small oval near the tip of the nail for his nose, then on the side of the nose make two lines on each side for the whiskers, then swipe your brush on each side of the ears. Later we will be going over the white on the nose and ears with pink polish. 

 
9. On our index nail we will make a small flower with some dots on it. You can use whatever colors you would like, I used the shimmer and cream blue along with pink. Just take your large dotting tool with pink first, dot that in the center of the nail, then make dots around that dot you can mix and match the shimmer and cream colors for the petals. For a final touch you can dot some random dots on the nail, I put four around the flower. You can do more or less.

For some final touches on our Easter nail design, we need to add some pink to our large bunny on the thumb nail. Take your thin nail art brush with pink polish on it and go over the white part of the nose and ears. Then for our little bunny on the ring finger you can add some grass, with your small detail brush with green paint on it make some random lines for the grass. 

Once your cute Easter bunny design has dried apply a top coat to seal in your design and to protect your design from chipping. As always I used Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat.

Want to change your bunny, you can make either a brown or white bunny or whatever color bunny you would like even a pink or purple bunny it is up to you. On my right hand I decided to make a white bunny to change up the design slightly. 

Hope all of you have a wonderful start to Spring and if you celebrate Easter, a Happy Easter as well!

See you next time for more nail fun!
