Springtime Easter bunny design
Step by Step
Alice Nali, Scratch Stars Nail Stylist of the Year 2023, shows how to create this floral springtime Easter bunny design.
“Due to the time spent and unique hand-painted value, I would charge clients £10 extra for this bunny nail art on one nail on each hand, or up to £15 if they also wanted also a second design to compliment, such as Easter eggs with matching wet-on-wet flowers,” she shares.
