Welcome Back! Today I am showing off my violet design. They
are cupcakes! I could have don’t any color with these but I had nothing planned
out for today so I thought "what the heck" and here they are!
The design is not my own creation 100%. I have seen many
people do cupcakes on their nails, so I tried my hand at it since those suckers
are my weakness.
The actual cupcake (I know it may be hard to distinguish the
real one from my nails because I did so good) was from a cute little café in
Folsom called Rockin' Cupcake Café. I have always passed by it and thought
about going in but never had the time. Today I was in need of a cupcake but my
kitchen is a mess so I couldn’t make some, so I finally stopped by. It's really
a one of a kind place. So adorable. If you are not in the mood for a cupcake
they have a load of other things on their menu to choose from like yummy
milkshakes. The staff they have at the Rockin' Cupcake Café is also very nice.
The girl who was working at the time was very helpful in picking out a pretty
cupcake good enough for my main picture. If you are ever in the Folsom, California are I definitely
recommend making a stop there.
Anyway these are the steps I took to make my nails today. If

First I painted all my nails a dark purple.
Then I made a big white circle on the edge of my nail like this.
Next I carefully added some seer light purple on the top half of
the circle. I also made it look like the icing was coming off the edge by
making some little half circles along the edge of the icing line.
Next I took my pastel yellow and made vertical lines going
into the middle to give the effect of the cupcake having a wrapper.
Then I made some blue sprinkles with a toothpick.
Pink sprinkles.
And green sprinkles.
Finally topped it off with a little red cherry on top by
taking my dotting tool and stamping it at the top of the cupcake. After that I
top coated and finished.
