I can only stomach about one regular sized one per year, or a few of the mini ones, but I LOVE Cadbury Creme Eggs. I love the chocolate, I love the gooey inside. YUMMMM! I wish they were sold here! Unfortunately, they're not, so I decided to do an homage to them on my nails for Easter. :) I must confess though, this wasn't the original design. I started out with a manicure that featured a variety of delicious Easter candy treats. When I finished that manicure, the only nail I really loved was the middle finger- the opened creme egg, so I decided to redo the rest of the nails!
Here is the final design:
and the original design:
For the final design, I used:Thumb:
The egg!Nubar Milk Chocolate Creme as a base, shaded with a mix of
Nubar Milk Chocolate Creme and
American Apparel Hassid, and highlighted with a mixture of
Nubar Milk Chocolate Creme,
American Apparel Cotton, and
CND Bicycle Yellow.

Index, Ring & Pinky:
The foil wrapper!Zoya Trixie as a base, with China Glaze First Mate for the Blue,
CND Bicycle Yellow for the yellow, and
American Apparel Downtown LA for the red. For the white, I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White on!
For the original design, I used:Thumb:

CND Bicycle Yellow for the bunnies, shaded with
Zoya Jancyn. For the basket, I used Color Club Yum Gum, shaded with OPI Do You Think I'm Texy, and
American Apparel Crescent Heights and Nubar Forest for the grass.
Index:
Creepy closeup of chocolate bunny eyeNubar Milk Chocolate Creme as a base, mixed with
American Apparel Cotton to highlight and
American Apparel Hassid to shade. For the eye, I used ORLY Lemonade shaded with
Zoya Jancyn and
Zoya Robyn for the pupil. I also used Essie Matte About You over the eye since they're that crunch sugar royal icing type candy.
Middle:
Opened Cadbury Creme EggAmerican Apparel Cotton as a base for the filling, with
Nubar Milk Chocolate Creme over it for the chocolate shell. For the 'yolk', I used

In case you're wondering what is all over my hands, it's mehendi! (or mehndi, depending who you ask)
Here are the pictures of it! These pictures were taken when it still wasn't at its darkest- on my palms it was so dark it was nearly black in places!
Oh, and have you guys seen/heard of this?
The Cadbury Creme Egg Twisted?!?! WHAAAAAAAT?! Can someone send me this? Please?
Cadbury, are you listening?!
Ok, enough candy/chocolate p o r n for tonight. Happy Easter!
A few weeks ago, my sister was taking a road trip across the US with her boyfriend, hitting all the hot fishing spots between Michigan and the west coast. One of her stops was in St. George, UT, only 1.5 hours from me, so we met up for a hiking adventure with our hounds! Amongst the camping supplies, dog food, flyrods, and other miscellaneous stuff taking over the back of her Jeep was a couple of Nubar collections that she neglected to inform me that I had received (tsk, tsk!). However, it was like Christmas for me! (literally - she brought the Christmas collection! lol)
