Teal Tuesday: Something Sweet

It's that time of the week again!  

This week's theme is a fun one and gave me the excuse to do the cupcake mani again :)  You can see my first attempt HERE I love this design and I will prob do it any chance I get LOL

Here is my Teal Cupcake Mani

Base Coat:  Rejuvacote
Base Color:  China Glaze For Audrey (1 coat)
Glitter Stripes:  L.A. Colors Glitter Striper, no name (3 coats)
Frosting:  Sinful Colors Snow Me White
Sprinkles:  China Glaze For Audrey (dotting tool)
Heart Toppers:  Sinful Colors Let's Talk (applied with a dotting tool)

I need more practice on my little hearts.  They were the worst part.  I hate that they are not all centered, but that is my OCD.  I am enjoying my cute teal cupcakes!

Cupcake Nails

My niece's birthday was this last July.  I can't believe it has taken me this long to share my mani from her party.  I was asked to make her cake, YAY!!  She was having an Ariel party and wanted an Ariel head.  Sure thing niece!!  I was excited to make this cake.  But she was kind of a pain in the ass.  I had never used the Ariel pan before so I was learning as I go.  I have done character cakes before.  Sadly, the indentations for the lines on this particular pan didn't match up to the picture.  So I had to wing it a little bit.  I think it came out pretty good.  I am not too happy with the eyes, but that is where there were some discrepancies with the pan lines and the picture.  
I decided it would be really fun to have some fun birthday party nails.  Normally, I make cupcakes for parties.  Since I wasn't doing any for my niece, I decided cupcake nails were a must! 
These were super simple to do.  I did a pink french tip and then added the green stripes with a nail art brush.  Using a dotting tool I created the "frosting" with white then added the green "sprinkles" and pink heart "topper".  Cute and simple.  I am really happy with how these turned out.  I will definitely be doing this design again :)

Base Coat:  Rejuvacote
Pink:  Sally Hansen Extreme Wear Very Cherry
Green:  Sally Hansen Extreme Wear Green With Envy
White:  Sinful Colors Snow Me White
Top Coat:  Seche Vite

I really wish I had shared these earlier.  I hope you enjoy my cupcake nails and my Ariel cake :)
