Speckled Easter egg nails
Created by @nailsbydanniimoore
Simple but effective, you can mimic the look of Cadbury’s Mini Eggs with a few simple tools – and it always looks adorable.
Start with a pastel shade (or try stripes like Dannii), and then you can use a small nail art brush to make the speckles – it doesn’t have to be too perfect! Finish with a matte topcoat for that frosted look.
