Easter Sunrise

As a Christian, I wanted to do the true meaning of Easter, but don't get me wrong. I love chocolate and cute bunnies just as much as the next person. I decided to do a silhouette of the crosses at Calvary at sunrise. My church has a sunrise service for Easter, so I thought it was perfect. I absolutely love how they turned out! Plus I got a few compliments at the Good Friday church service!

First I painted my nails yellow with Honolulu by Ulta 3. Then I used a sponge to create an orange/yellow gradient with Honolulu and Bright Me by Ulta 3. The silhouette was painted with Black Satin, also from Ulta 3.

Pokemon Shuffle

I gave my husband two choices for the theme of my nails and he decided on Pokemon shuffle. We're both huge nerds and are part of a Nintendo 3DS club. Pokemon shuffle is a game that Nintendo just created an icon for on our 3DSs in hopes that we'd all download it. Just about everyone in the club, with the exception of my husband, plays it.

The nails took quite a few hours to complete. I started too late and ended up being awake way past my bedtime, which wasn't good since I suffer from insomnia and am trying to have good sleeping hygiene. Oops!

I used Tiramisu from Sephora for the backgrounds of the nails. The other polishes used were You're so Vain-illa from OPI, white and black from the Models Prefer studs pack, No Room for the Blues from OPI, A-piers to be Tan from OPI, Brazen from Formula X, Gray Matter from Formula X, Bonna Blue from Fresh Paint, Sorry I'm Fizzy Today from OPI, a pale yellow frankenpolish I made a few months ago, Honolulu from Ulta 3, Red My Fortune Cookie from OPI, Bright Me from Ulta 3, and Wisteria from Picture Polish.

I made each pokemon by starting with the outlines, like a colouring book, using my smallest dotting tool. I then filled them in with their colours.
