30 Days of Colour: Easter dotting bunnies nail art

Introduction


We  are done with colors in 30 Days of Colour challenge and from now will show polish with different finish. Today it's cream and I decided to make another Easter themed nails, because tomorrow will be Orthodox Easter. I did similar nail art last year for Easter and I used several pastel polishes with cream finish, so it was a perfect idea. Inspiration for this free hand nail art came from one picture which I found while searching Easter nails (you can look at it in my References section at the end of this post). Unfortunately it does not have any credentials and I was not able to find original working link. Last year I loved how this nail art turned out, this time I do not like it so much.  First of all, baskets take too much space, I should have made them smaller and second polish smeared in many places after top coat application. Since I'm a perfectionist I had to correct worst smears using photoshop, so that it does not ruin entire look, but you can see remaining smear :(
