With nail salons around the country closed, Irish ladies have been mourning the loss of their insta worthy nails, dreaming of the day when they can get a fresh set of talons.
Many would never have considered chancing their arm at some at-home nail art themselves, probably because they never had to, but with bare nails and nothing but free time, now's your chance to give it a go.
Don't expect perfection - there's no matching the French manicure your local nail tech manages to make look so easy, so you may as well accept that now - but whether it goes to plan or not, the process will keep you busy for a while and a few festive Easter-bunnies are sure to brighten your mani and your mood.
Grab some toothpicks, glitter, tape... whatever takes your fancy, and get creative.
Below you'll see some of our favourite Easter-inspired nail art.

Maybe we're being too optimistic but some of them don't look
that difficult to master. Here's hoping.
