Cupcake Inspired Nail Art

Hello Cupcakes,

Today is a very special day because today is the birthday of my soul sister kim. :)
You can read her rants here. and more about her here. 

Although we are very much different, strange enough, we almost always get along pretty well. I don't know if we have grown tolerance around each other or we were just born to become friends.

Either way, I'm really happy we did.

Here is a fun fact though, When we first met, I don't really like her. haha.

Anyways, today's nail art is dedicated to my soul sister. ♥

Here goes:

1. Paint 1/4 of your nails with any color you wish. in this case, I choose pink. :)

2. Paint horizontal white stripes on the tips. 

3. With a dotting tool, create a cloud like, fluffy cupcake.

4. Add a red dot on top to serve as a cherry. :)

5.  Add a glitter polish to serve as the sprinkles (or use different colors of polish and a toothpick to create the sprinkles) and finish up with a top coat.

And TA-DA! 

Your Cupcake Inspired Nail Art is done. :)

Here is the video Version:

Looking at the cupcakes makes me feel kinda hungry. hahaha

To Kim, 

Happy Birthday. :) 
Enjoy your day and I am so proud of you.

No matter the distance or the circumstance, I will always be here. ALWAYS! :)

Nail Art Design #5: The Amazing SPIDERMAN!

I know! I know! I am a bit behind my blogging schedule! (A bit behind? I am almost 2 weeks absent!)


But nah! It doesn't matter, I don't a have a HUGE fan base waiting for my every blog post anyways. *insert "emo-ish" music here*


hahaha.


But I am back!
and so is the amazing spider man movie!
So today, I decided to make a spider man inspired nails!
(with the hope that spiderman fans will follow this blog after. hahaha)


Kidding aside, here is the best that I have come up with. :)

Here's a step by step procedure:


Step 1: Paint 2 of your nails red.

Step 2 : Paint an inverted triangle with the white polish. This will serve as SPIDERMAN's eyes. :)

Step 3 : Using a toothpick (because I don't have a thin brush) and a black polish, make an outline of the eyes you just created. This will make the eyes more visible and  precise.

step 4 : Make thin straight lines above the eyes. (Use a toothpick to do this if you don't have a nail art pen or a brush)

Step 5 : Connect the lines with a curve line to achieve the "net-like" look on Spiderman's mask.

Because I have small nails, I decided to paint 2 nails with the spiderman design and then the rest of the nails with a gradient spiderman associated color. 


So, for the other nails:


Step 6 :  Choose 2 nail polish. 1 in red, the other in blue. To have the gradient look, use a make up sponge. Paint the 1/2 of the sponge red and the other 1/2 blue and dab it on your nails.

Step 7 : Do step 6 until you get your desired opacity.

Step 8 : Finish off with a clear polish.

And you are done! :)




It make look REALLY complicated but it is really easy to do.
You just need PATIENCE (and a steady hand in drawing the lines with a toothpick)


I hope this post is worth the (almost) 2 weeks worth of wait. :)


Have a nice night everyone.
