Belated Birthday Nails!
9:00:00 AM
Good morning!!! How are you all today? I'm bringing you a post which I meant to bring you back in the beginning of August for my birthday! I truly meant to share the manicure, but I got kind of lazy and didn't feel like editing the photos. Finally though, I got around to it, and ignored my zillions of other posts share today!
Last year for my birthday, I did a simple manicure with cupcake accents. Looking back at the pictures from last year, goodness gracious I had some messy cuticles! Kind of happy I learned to not flood them! This year, I decided to do the same manicure, but with a different color scheme. I recently purchase OPI Polka.com and was dying to use it, so this was the perfect opportunity!
Let's take a look!
Colors Used:
- Base
- Sinful Colors - Sail La Vie
- INM Northern Lights
- OPI - Polka.com
- Cupcake
- Sinful Colors - Amythyst
- Ulta - Snow White
- OPI - You're Such a Budapest, Can't Find my Czechbook, Suzi's Hungary Again
- Some red polish that is escaping me
Isn't Sinful Colors Sail La Vie gorgeous? It's seriously one of my favorite polishes. After I painted on a base (which was a flawless two coats), I added INM Northern Lights and kind of wanted to leave it at that. I know, shocking since I NEVER keep my nails one color.
After debating that indeed I needed to do something special for my birthday, I added OPI Polka.com to my non accent nails. I fell in love with that as well, and started debating on whether I should actually do cupcakes. Really, would anyone be offended if I skipped nail art for my day?
The answer was yes, that I myself would be offended. Since I did pink cupcakes last year, I decided to opt for purple cupcakes which matched the glitter. To get the cupcake, I took my dark purple polish and painted half my nail. When it was dry, I added the lighter purple lines like a cupcake wrapper. With a dotting tool, I added the white cupcake frosting. With a nail art brush, I added the colorful sprinkles, then at the very end dotted on the red cherry!
What do you think? Love, hate? Think it's a good birthday design?
Until next time, <3!
