Beauty Therapy #4: Cupcake Nail Tutorial

For this tutorial I have been inspired by Cupcakes :) Cupcakes now days have been used as a replacement for one whole birthday cake :) . Makes me what a cupcake birthday cake now for my up coming 21st :)

**PLEASE NOTE: I am limited to a certain number of colours because I don't paint my nails sooo often. Also, if you dont have the tall long nail polish bottles (shown below) then pouring some polishing onto plastic and using a toothpick does work too :D**

SO here are some colours that I shall be using. Feel free to use your own colours :) and have fun :)

 

First thing is to start with a base coat to protect your nails (which I haven't). Then start by painting on a small stroke across your nails. Kinda like a small rectangle, this will become the cupcake tin :). I used Blue and Red and switched each finger with a different colour.

 

Next is to paint sort of a circle (not a nice and neat one) on top of the small rectangle. This will become the cupcake itself. I didn't have a pastel pink on me so I used the Revlon Sheer Rose which isn't effective because it matches my actual nails =___=" ... oh its okk if you go over the cupcake tins. That will create an illusion of the cupcake :)

Next was optional; but I used a thin black nail brush (you can use a toothpick if you dont have one) and outlined the cupcake so it stand out a but more (and mainly because the Revlon wasnt dark enough). HAHA! I also did curves around the cupcake to give off the illusion that it is fluffy :)

This part is also optional; I used white and dotted two small circles on each of the cupcake to create the eyes.

Using the black but using a toothpick, I dotted in the eyes on top of the white. This creates a cute and cartoon-y effect. I also used the other side of the toothpick and used pink polish and drew in a U shape to create the smile :)

I added silver glitter nail polish at the bottom of the tin to make it glittery and shiny.

And here is my end result. Make sure you apply a clear coat of nail polish to prevent any chipping :)

So overall, you can paint you nails before hand before doing this tutorial. I didn't because I prefer blogging a tutorial with just plain nails so you guys can see what it looks like without any colours.

Until next time,

Take Care xx
