Fuzzy Easter Eggs

Happy Easter Monday! 


Here in Canada the Monday is also a holiday and some people get the day off from work, and I am lucky enough to be one of those! I have had an awesome long weekend, spent so much time with family and friends and just enjoying each others company. I also did about 6 sets of nails for my family and friends on Friday lol. While I was doing all of my friends nails I also wanted to do mine, and ever since I saw that Jen The Polish Aholic had done some fuzzy nails using flocking powder, I wanted to create my own version of them. I bought a 6 pack of flocking powder and had my friend pick 4 colours that I could use to create a stripey fuzzy look. 

I started off by painting my nails with China Glaze White on White, because I knew I was going to be putting on a variety of colours and wanted to let the colours of the powder show up. 
Then I put tape across most of my nail so that just a bit coming up from the cuticle was showing. I then applied a bit more of WoW and sprinkled flocking powder in Goldenrod. I was having a hard time getting the powder to stick when I was just sprinkling it, so my friends took it and poured each of the four colours into four little tupperware containers. My boyfriend commented that it looked like we were measuring some sort of fairy drug with all the colourful powder that was flying around! Then once the powder was in the containers I scooped some up and pressed it into the wet polish. Then I blew off the excess powder. 


Once Goldenrod was done I taped off the top half of my nail and did the same thing with Lime flocking powder. Then taped off the tip and did the same with Hot Pink flocking powder. Finally I applied some WoW to the tip and added some flocking powder in Calypso. 

These were SO FUZZY! I was amazed at how soft they actually were. I kept rubbing them against my cheek. Actually I kept going up to my boyfriend and rubbing his cheek to see how long it would take him to laugh lol. 

These were super easy to do and I loved the effect. I went to a friends Friday night and he had a lot of family over and they kept being like Ooooo I want to pet your nails! Weird thing to hear, but still pretty cool at the same time. 


For the life of these nails, I was actually shocked at how long they lasted. I did these Friday afternoon and Sunday afternoon they are still fuzzy! Some have fallen off and it is a little matted down, but I can still put them up to my cheek and feel the fuzz! That is through 2 showers, washing dishes, making food and regular life. I am so impressed by these and love the stripes! 


There are so many possibilities with flocking powder I think I am going to have to experiment some more :) Flocking power can be purchased at Michael's in the scrapbooking section. I bought a package of 6 in the Recollection brand for 11.99. 


Do you love or hate my fuzzy Easter nails?
