Easter crafts

Happy Easter, folks!


Why is it when you try to be creative and copy something from Pinterest, it never goes quire to plan?
Today I opted to attempt nail polish marbled eggs, as seen on this tutorial.
Now, first off, can I just say Stephanie at Henry Happened is a genius!
These eggs looks amazing :)

DIY Marbled Eggs with Nail Polish

But I do think she has magical powers because I failed miserably!

Or more likely, I just didn't have nice enough nail polishes.
Although my collection is pretty vast, and consists of mostly Barry M and Models Own, most of them were either rock solid or separated. 




So I started off by mixing some polishes in a cup of water.
*MUST BE ROOM TEMP*
By that they mean kinda warm. I started with cold and everything sank.
Give it a mix with a tooth pick.



I wore gloves for the next bit. If you don't have any, make sure you at least
have lots of nail polish remover!
Dunk the egg in, completely immersed, then remove.
This is where it all went horribly wrong.


Apparently, the Easter Bunny vommed all over my egg...



and the next one wasn't any better...



We can safely agree that marbled eggs was a disaster,
although the pink one did look quite sweet.
Plus, a Nikon DSLR can make any photo look passable.. right?!
