Easter Egg Inspired Faux Tape Manicure (+ Tutorial)

Hello lovelies! I'm truly hoping someday soon my health will not hinder my life so much and I can get back to doing more fun & intricate nail art as well as blogging regularly. My beautiful polishes sit in a corner (in addition to boxes under the couch...heh) and get used by my friends more than myself. Today's nail art is from just before Easter. I never got around to posting it because I didn't think it came out quite how I was hoping; but the more I see it and know how much I struggled to sit up and finish the look I feel it needs to be shared, because I was so proud I finished them.

31DC2013 : Sleepy Hollow Nails (+Tutorial)

Day 29 of Chalkboard Nails 31 Day Challenge 2013 is a Supernatural theme. I instantly knew I wanted to do some sort of legend, whether it be mermaids or unicorns, etc.; but then thought I could make it a Halloween themed design as well. I then happened upon this mystical tree image and knew I wanted to do Sleepy Hollow nails.

31DC2013 : butter LONDON Rainbow Tape Manicure (+Tutorial)

Today I have day 27  of Chalkboard Nails 31 Day Challenge 2013 and day 3 of The Crumpet's 33 Day Challenge. This is a taped manicure based on fine line quilting (as artwork). I found an outline for a quilt here, sadly I could not find a photo of the final quilt. All the same I new I wanted to make this into nail art.
