Cupcake Nails!

by Chloe - April 18, 2013

Hey Everyone!

If you follow me on twitter @ShimmerLashes you may have seen me tweet that i fell on the steps at college on my first day back. Good on Chloe. Well i decided not to go into college today as my leg is still really stiff and i have to walk really slow going up or down the steps as it kills when i bend my knee, so anyways as i had today off i decided to paint my nails!

Today's design is CUPCAKES!

I think the cupcake design is so cute!

So here is how i created this design...

Choose what colours/gems/sequins/glitter, whatever you want to use.

Here is what i chose

Step One -

Start by applying your base coat, this can be any base coat. Sometimes i use my Sally Hanson's Maximum Nail Growth as a base coat but this time i used my Collection 2000 2 in 1 Nail Hardener & Strengthener.

Then choose which finger/s you would like your cupcake design on. I chose my ring finger and thumb.

Then using my purple nail varnish:

I painted the full nails except from my ring finger and thumb.

Then on my thumb and ring finger i painted them nearly half way.

Step Two -

Using my White nail art pen and my dotting tool,

I created the part which is like icing ontop on the cupcake.

Step Three -

Then using my purple and white nail art pens and a nail art brush i created stripes on my other nails.

Step Four -

I also applied the purple stipes onto what is the cupcake case.

Then using my Bourjois glitter nail polish

I added glitter to the tips of my ring finger and thumb.

Step Five -

Using purple glitter, gem stones and nail glue, i applied the glitter onto the white part of the cupcake to make it look like sprinkles and then added a purple gem stone onto the top.
