Cupcake Nails

I got inspired to try out this look from a picture on pinterest. The design is really cute and easy.

1. Apply one or two coats of a nails polish on all of your nails. I used Sinful Color's Oasis. 

2. After your nails are completely dry, apply a light pink tip on your ring finger. 

3. While you wait for the pink tip to dry, add white globs of "icing" onto the tips of the other nails. To do this carefully make circular tips on the nail and making uneven curves to create the look of icing on a cupcake. After the pink tip is dry, add vertical stripes using a a darker color with a nail art brush or toothpick, onto the pink tip. 

4. Drop some white nail polish onto an index card. Using a nail art brush, or an old eyeliner brush, carefully create a half circle, mound shape above the pink tip on the ring finger. Fill in the half circle up to the pink tip. Then using the tip of the brush and a small amount on polish, carefully drag the polish down over the pink tip, to make the illusion that the icing is falling over. 

5. Drop small amounts of pastel colors onto the index card. Using a toothpick, pick u the colors and create dots on the white "icing" on the nails. This will make it look like little sprinkles, and add more color to the design. Add a larger red dot on top of the "icing" on the ring finger, to look like a cherry. For this dot I used the back of the nail art brush. 

6. Wait for the nails to be completely dry, and add a top coat. Make sure the nails are completely dry because you don't want all of the colors to blend together.
