cupcakes galore!

As you know, I love nail art. One that I think is simply adorable are cupcake nails. So I gave myself some today :)

I started with three coats of OPI Isn't That Precious? Then did the tips in Essie Castaway. I used a striping brush and made lines on the tips with NK Really White and using the white, I.made cupcake tops. After that, I used a dotting tool to make confetti dots on my cupcake with Essie Castaway. Last but not least, I made my cherry a sparkly one using a dotting tool and Wet n Wild Sparked.



Isn't it adorable?

OPI Hot & Spicy gradient

I've always wanted to try gradient nails. But I'd look into my stash and somehow not find coordinating colors. But at the end of last month, I wrapped up my epic failure on my low buy with buying Wet n Wild in Sunny Side Up. It is a tangerine orange that came along with one of the wonkiest brushes ever. Now don't get me wrong, I love bold colors, but plain orange just doesn't appeal to me. I think its because it reminds me of a pumpkin.

Anyways, so this is when I thought of trying a gradient mani. I picked the color that was next to Sunny Side Up which was OPI Hot & Spicy. It is a bright coral orange. Very preety on its own too! I painted my WnW in three coats, and used a small sponge to sponge on OPI. To top this off, I lightly brushed WnW in Kaleidoscope on the tips. It is a holo glitter. I loved the results!!





This is the wonky brush. Usually I don't mind WnW and their cheap brushes...I mean, you pay for what you get. But this was borderline dinky because I have seen equally cheap polishes with good brushes.

WnW Teal or no Deal tips

Good morning! I got tired of Rally Pretty Pink and decided to change my mani into something cleaner. I started with one coat of Essie spaghetti strap. Then painted v shaped tips with Wet n Wild in Teal or no deal. I love this color. I have heard its a slight dupe to OPI catch me in your net and Zoya charla. But for $1.99, I figure it couldn't hurt to buy this one first. I made my tips by painting two diagonals - one on each side. Its kind of hard to explain but its easier this way.
After, I thought it still looked a little boring so using a striping brush that I got on eBay, I outlined my WnW with a white polish. Viola!
