Hello lovelies,

Since doing my dotted Easter Eggs that were inspired by wonderful artist Elspeth McLean, I wanted to do nails too. I finally found the time and created this rainbow dotticure inspired by Elspeth's mandala stones. I love Elspeth's work, it's so colourful, positive, flawless and precise.

Well...my dots are not as precise but I gave it a shot ;) The mandalas on my thumb and ring finger are directly inspired by Elspeth's work and the remaining nails are an older design I've recycled...

I have used the following Rimmel shades:

• Gimme Some Of That
• Chin Up, Buttercup
• Ava-A-Bit Of Jade
• Roll In The Grass
• Orgasm
• Danny Boy, Blue!
• White Hot Love
• Bestival Blue
• Berries And Cream
• Sand And Deliver
• Tangerine Tent

..and dotting tools from Born Pretty Store (psst! use LUHH10 for 10% off your order)

Pretty colourful, right? I wore this manicure for four days and kept looking at it all the time! I really liked it and it always brightened my mood. I hope you liked it too!

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies!

Excuse my absence, I haven't been very productive and energetic in the past few weeks. Hopefully that will change soon.

As every year, I spend a little bit of time painting Easter eggs. This year I have been inspired by the very talented Elspeth McLean, an Australian artist who takes dotillism to another level.

So today I want to show you three dotted Easter eggs I did and there's a tutorial (well more of a video recording the process) for each of them!

All eggs were decorated using acrylic paints, dotting tools and a small brush. I considered using nail polish but it would make the job much harder since it dries so fast. A drop of acrylic paint stayed wet for the whole time I was decorating.

This first egg is inspired by the colourful painted stones Elspeth does and it's also my favourite of all three!

And now the promised tutorial:

For this pattern I've used colours that are usually used in Czech folklore art including painted Easter eggs...

How I did it:

And this last one was an experiment with acrylic paints that I've never used but I probably won't use again because they are not very opaque and dry glossy and uneven. I still like the egg though ;)

Here's how I did it:

I hope you've enjoyed this post and maybe it will inspire you to decorate your own Easter eggs! Sorry it's not nails but there are more things I like in this world apart from nails :) If you would like to see my previous Easter adventures, you can see it here and here.

Have a nice Easter break and let me know what you think of my Easter eggs! Lucie x
