I used Zoya Kerry for my base, two coats. I then sponged with several colors from China Glaze's Flourish Collection: Spring In My Step, Lotus Begin, Grass Is Lime Greener, Metro Pollen-Tin, Strike A Rose. And then Factory Girl from Color Club. I sealed it with one coat of Seche Vite. Once fully dried I used tape that I had jagged cut on opposing sides, traced the edges with China Glaze Liquid Leather and then sponged the open "cracked egg" with China Glaze White on White. I peeled the tape while still wet and it was done. I tried to mattify the golden part of the egg, but for whatever reason, my gold was impervious to matting. Probably used too many clear coats during the finishing process. Oh well. Done.

Cracking Up
It's time for my Easter manicure. I swear golden eggs were al the rage this year in Easter Egg dying. Since I don't dye eggs, I thought I'd make my own golden egg manicure. It was a bit of a hard concept to execute, but I think I like the results. Anyway, hope those of you who are celebrating with family and friends are having a wonderful day!

Valentine's Day, Part 2
I meant to post this earlier, but alas, I did not. I am turning out to be a terrible blogger. But all I can do is fess up and give you some updates.
Crystal Hearts is made up of China Glaze Icicle and Zoya Sarah, both three coats. I added the various hearts I had in my gemstone collections. Seche Vite was my top coat.

Valentine's Marble was made up of a base coat of Orly Au Champagne, three coats. I used China Glaze Princess Grace and City Siren, with Color Club Peppermint Twist. I used Seche Vite as a top coat.

Hexed
I went on a polish hunt and was surprised to find seasonal Color Club products at a local Sally's. I stopped immediately for this multi sized hexagonal glitter (and another one) and an added bonus is that it's scented! This one is berry flavored.
I hand painted three coats of Orly Stone Cold and added two coats of Color Club Very Merry Berry. Finished with one coat Seche Vite.

Easter Eggs
It's Easter and this is my wonderfully, pastel, sparkly manicure!

I painted two coats of the following colors: China Glaze Something Sweet, Re-Fresh Mint, Lemon Fizz, Spontaneous and Color Club Factory Girl. I used acetone remover to clean up my cuticle edge to make the shape a bit more into an egg and then, in corresponding order, I added the following glitters from LA Splash Cosmetics : Fashionista, Immature, Golden Egg, Viola and for my Color Club nail I used YOFI cosmetic Sparkle Dust in Blue Moon. I painted with a thin brush a moon of white near my cuticles in China Glaze White On White and topped the whole manicure off with one coat of CND Super Shiney.
