25th birthday cupcake nails

I've been wanting to do cupcakes for awhile and decided that between Valentines Day and my birthday on the 17th, these were a good bet! And since I had a bit of patience on working with something new, I went for it.

They're OK, I don't love nor hate them. Pretty neutral about it honestly, though I do wish I had used tiny dots for the sprinkles instead of using a toothpick for lined sprinkles. Kinda thought I should have made the cherries a hair bigger but oh well!!



Didn't use a base color hence why the cupcakes don't seem to go all the way up to the cuticle.

Used the following:

• Cupcake stripes: China Glaze Chocodisac & ELF Nude
• Icing: White striper brush
• Cherry: Wet N Wild Red
• Sprinkles: Orly Elsabeths Rose & China Glaze Sunshine Pop

Lush Lacquer - Dippin Dots swatch

Used a really terrible ELF nude as the base color. Pretty color, stunk badly and applied terrible. Excuse that. :/

But here we have Lush Lacquer's Dippin Dots (Thanks Secret Santa!), over a nude base. Wish I went with a different base, it kinda looks like piss in certain lighting. :/

I'm having an affair with Lush Lacquer, I think. Considering it's my main indie brand I seem to be collecting. Looove it. :)

Damn you crappy bubbly ELF polish that was in a super adorable 14 piece polish cube !!
It does kind of remind me of cake though... with cute sprinkles, heh.

Halloween funky french blood splatter

I had been wanting to do this for awhile. Even with the nude color you can still some what see yellow on my nails which is what I hate about this. I love how it turned out I just wish my nails weren't yellowed. :-(

I actually bought a cream red specifically to do this. Classy mani combined with Halloween, what isn't to love about this?

I cleaned up quite a bit with acetone but due to the mess splatter nails makes it's not perfect. Not to mention red is notoriously evil for staining skin ugh.

Bonus picture! Didn't get a whole lot of pics of this mani
but these were my Frankenstein nails I did.
