Our last Easter themed nail design is this very sweet Easter bunny created by Salon System nail expert Julie-Anne Larivière.
She used Gellux, but if you don’t have Gellux products to hand then you can substitute them for others. If you are using non-gel polish, remember to use a good base coat and to let each coat set fully before moving on to the next step.
Step One
File the nails to shape, push the cuticles back with the Gellux Cuticle Handy Manicure Tool (£6.95 +vat) and gently buff the surface of the nails with a white block.
Thoroughly wipe nails with Gellux Nail + File Cleansing Spray (£6.95 +vat) and a lint free pad. When the nails are dry apply Gellux Fast Bond (£5.85 +vat) and let dry for 30 seconds.
Then apply one very thin layer of Gellux Cover Pink Base Coat (£11.95 +vat). Cure in between coats for 60 seconds.
Step Two
Using a thin nail art brush dipped in Gellux Double Dating (£11.95 +vat), paint an egg shape. Cure for 30 seconds.
Step Three
Dip a large dotting tool into Gellux Purely White (£11.95 +vat) and paint a circle in the lower part of the egg. Then, using a liner brush create the bunny ears. Cure for 30 seconds.
Step Four
On a paint palette or piece of foil mix a very small amount of Double Dating and Purely White together and using a small dotting tool create two cheeks. Then, dip a fine liner brush into Double Dating and create the nose and the inside of the bunny ears, cure for 30 seconds.
Step Five
Next, dip a super fine detail brush into Gellux Black Onyx (£11.95 +vat) and paint the mouth and eyes, cure
Step Six
Then, outline the bunny and paint some whiskers, cure for 60 seconds.
Step Seven
Finally, apply Gellux Matte Base & Top Coat (£11.95 +vat) and cure again. Wipe nails with Gellux Prep + Wipe (£7.10 +vat) and apply Gellux Nail & Cuticle Oil (£4.35 +vat) to finish your cute Easter bunny nails.
