"Sweet Cuppin' Cakes"

What up what up?! So I've been seeing some cupcake nails in my search for super cute art, I needed a break from fakes so I wanted to do something cute and simple. This only took maybe 2 hours, at first I felt like they looked amateur and rushed, but they're alright. Hopefully I'm my worst critic ^_^

(Different colors are optional, I used one matte color for the background and a similar metallic/ dense glitter for the cupcake bottom)

Milani 3d Holographic 512 Hyperspace

Method Used:

Coat 1: Paint matte color on each nail (like Blue Me Away)

Coat 3: Paint the bottom of the cupcake with a darker metallic or dense glitter color (like Milani 3d)

Coat 4: Put iridescent glitter over white frosting

Coat 5: Use additional bright matte colors for sprinkles. Add a red cherry to the top of the cupcake

Coat 6: Use glitter striper to make stripes on the cupcake base

Coat 7: Use nail art pen to outline the shape of the cupcake and stripes along the base

These are chunky, sexy, and super fabulous. Glitter and rhinestones make them an adult affair ^_^

Products Used:

Sally Hansen HD 12 Hue (sparse glitter)

Sally Hansen Xtreme 180 Disco Ball (Dense glitter)

Milani 3D Holographic 510 (Gold) (Very dense, very pigmented glitter)

3-4mm (large) rhinestones of assorted colors

1-2 mm rhinestones or stick-on-earrings

2-3mm metallic confetti pieces

Method Used:

Coat 1:  2 or 3 shades of each color: sheer micro glitter (like Sally Hansen HD), sparse glitter with similar colors, then dense glitter of the same colors. The idea is to grade from sparse to dense glitter at the tip. Paint a third of nail each color, starting with sheer micro glitter at cuticle.

Coat 2: Glue Biggest rhinestones at the tip, trickling down to smallest rhinestones. Use a lot! I glued metallic pieces of confetti to each nail for added sparkle! Use anything glittery to catch people's eyes!
