Nail Art, Egg Art, the Art of Family

There's a good chance if you have a daughter under age 25 she likes painting her nails for special occasions. College Girl took a break from homework to color eggs with us today and I saw that she had given herself a manicure. Depending on the colors you choose, this design could go from 'after 5' to South West. I can picture her using a black base, then a golden yellow, then black again for a fun Kappa Alpha Theta event! 

 I got out our Paas kit, some vinegar and a variety of mugs for dipping. Nothing fancy this year, just a wax crayon and a rubber band, but we had fun nonetheless. Even Handyman got into the spirit of it and dyed eggs with us! His egg is the two-toned one in the upper left corner~

A couple eggs have a Scripture verse, there is a bunny, an egg for Captain America, Loki, The Hulk and more. Here are ten of the eggs we colored. Later we made cinnamon coffee cake and a baked egg dish for Easter breakfast.

The best part was being together in the kitchen overlooking our sunny backyard, talking and reminiscing about past Easters. "Remember when..?" I remembered when College Girl was a pre-schooler and couldn't wait to hug a big white Easter Bunny at the store! I was so surprised since she was still afraid of Santa, but a life-sized bunny towering over her - no problem! 

 

Here is the easy tutorial that College Girl used to do her manicure.
