Easter bunny mash-up nails
Seasonal & Occasions, Step by Step
Salon System nail expert, Caroline Roberts, owner of The Nail Fairy, shares how to create this fun Easter nail design using GELLUX shades, available via wholesalers nationwide.
Step 1
Prep the nails and push back the cuticles. Shape and buff the natural nail with a grey and yellow buffer. Dust and wipe the nails with GELLUX Prep and Wipe and then apply a thin layer of GELLUX Fast Bond.
Step 2
Mix GELLUX Mini Lemon Meringue with GELLUX Purely White to achieve a pastel yellow and use a thin liner brush to apply in a V shape tip at the end of the thumb nail. Next, apply GELLUX Beach You To It to the index finger, GELLUX Are You Shore to the middle finger and GELLUX Go With The Flow on the pinky using the same method. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 3
Using a gel brush, apply GELLUX Purely White to the ring finger, covering just the tip of the nail almost like a half-moon. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 4
Use a thin liner brush to create two oval shapes on the top of the half moon to make the shape of bunny ears. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 5
Using a thin liner art brush, apply GELLUX Beach You To it into the middle of the bunny ear shapes and cure for 60 seconds.
Step 6
Use GELLUX Black Onyx to create eyelashes with a thin liner brush and use a dotting tool to create the heart shaped nose. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 7
Use a dotting tool to create little flowers across the top of the bunny’s head using GELLUX Are You Shore, GELLUX Go With The Flow, GELLUX Mini Lemon Meringue and GELLUX Sea You Later. Next, using GELLUX Black Onyx and a small dotting tool, place a tiny dot into the middle of the coloured dots to create a flower effect. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 8
Using GELLUX Black Onyx and a small dotting tool, apply tiny spots to the rest of the coloured fingers for a speckled egg effect. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 9
Apply GELLUX Shiny Top Coat and cure for 60 seconds. Wipe the sticky residue with GELLUX Prep + Wipe before applying cuticle oil to finish.
