Party Nails!!!!

Hey dolls!!!!
 
Thought id do a quick post and show you guys what I did today for my 25th birthday party tonight. I decided to do a pink theme since I loveeee pink. And since I love to bake of course I made my own cupcakes!!! I decided to do a dark chocolate cupcake with fresh raspberry icing!!! I even took fresh raspberries and simmered them down!! They are delicious!!!
 
 
I then decided to make some yummy Jell-o shooters!!! Since my favorite flavor is Fuzzy Navel (orange jell-o and peach schnapps) I used my pink Jell-o shooter cups to put them in.
 
 
And last but definatly not least the pink nails!!! I wanted pink but with a twist so I painted my nails with 4 coats of Billie Electric Pink, then used 2 coats of Julep Katie in different angels, and on Julep Kate I used a Black Stripe Rite to make Zebra print. I must say I really love the way these turned out!!
 
 
And that's the start of my party tonight!!! Now to go find something to wear to fit with my theme!! I hope you all have a great weekend <3

LDOS: Dotting tool summer fun

Hey dolls, hope you all have been having a good week. Ive had a busy one with being back to work and my nephews birthday this weekend. I was off today so finished making his cup cakes and dyed my hair this week, ill post a pic soon of that. So today I decided I would do another challenge and do a mani that ill wear till probably sunday. I'm going up for the party after work on Saturday so I wont have time again till then to do the nails.

So for the Lazy Days of Summer Challenge tonight I decided to try a ruffle mani. I figure this deals with the summer as alot of bathing suits have ruffles and the bright colors just sort of enhance it.

For the ruffles I used the following colors, once I went through them all I just repeated the pattern till I did the whole nail :) I also used my largest dotting tool for this.

China Glaze Pink Plumeria
China Glaze Purple Panic
China Glaze Hey Sailor
Orly Melt Your Popsicle
China Glaze Sun-Kissed
China Glaze I'm With the Lifeguard
Nails Inc Baker Street
China Glaze Sweet Hook


I loveee the way this turned out. Ill definatly try this technique again with a different color combo. But its cute and doesn't take long at all. Id say just over an hour while getting distracted :)

Now I thought I'd show you the cupcakes I made for my nephews 3rd birthday. He wanted them to be cars themed!


I got the toys from bulk barn as they were way to cute to pass up. I also wanted to let you all know that I changed some of the prices on my blog sale :) I hope you all have a great weekend and Ill be back on sunday <3

Now if you want to see more awesome summer head on over to visit the other lovely ladies who are participating in this challenge!!!

Ice cream and Candy

As you guys saw in my last post its one of my nephews birthdays this weekend, so I decided to do a "birthday" themed manicure. I finally got to use the ice cream adn cupcake stamp on my MLS301 plate. Ive been wanting to use it for a while and figured this one the perfect time to.

I started out with 4 coats of Orly Glow Stick, a neon yellow cream from Orly's new Feel The Vibe collection. I love this color so much, its so ridiculously bright but it does take quiet a few coat to get opaque, if you layered it over white you'd get to use less. I then stamped over it with Konad blue polish since its for a boys birthday but I then decided to add a few pink polka dots with Orly Beach Cruiser also from the Feel The Vibe collection.



I love the way this turned out its so bright and cheerful, definatly perfect for a 7 year olds birthday.

Now I have to show you a picture of his cake, im sooo happy with it!!! He mentioned to my dad that he wanted a baseball cake he has no idea that I made him one :)


I cant wait to see my niece and nephews tomorrow, sadly my brother has them the weekends I work so I don't get to see them as often as id like but I make the most out of the time when I do therefore you guys wont hear from me again until sunday. So i hope you all have a great weekend.

Also I hit 100 followers today!!! So next week lookout for a giveaway!!! Thank you all again for being so dedicated, I read each and every comment even thou I don't reply right away. However I have caught up on those finally he he. Thanks again thou I greatly appreciate all of your guys support <3!!!

My first Nail-Ventorous polishes :)


Yesterday I got some much anticipated nail mail!!! My 2 Nail Venturous polishes I was able to snag a few weeks ago out of pure luck!!!! I was sooo excited to get them I couldn't wait for them to arrive. I love glitter, even thou removal sucks no matter how you do it lol. The 2 I was lucky to get where Burst of Blue and Sunny Floam. Please excuse any stains on my hands, I was dying hair yesterday :)

Lets start with Burst of Blue. Its a clear base jammed pack full of blue and black matte micro glitter, white and black hex and bar glitter. Its absolutely stunning, especially if your a blue fan like I seem to be lately. The application was flawless. Didn't have to dig around for the glitter. I did use 4 coats for this picture to make it super opaque.

Isn't that just absolutely beautiful?? I don't think anything could make it better!!! I had so many compliments on my nails today wearing these two colors it was insane!!
Now Sunny Floam is a neon yellow and blue matte micro glitter. I have Floam on its way to me once I get it Ill do a comparison of these two :) The application for this one was flawless as well, and I also used 4 coats.
I love how electric this color is. Its sooo bring that it actual captures in the photos for once. I cant wait to do a pedicure with this for the summer :)
Now I thought id share with you guys the cake I made for one of my best friends for her birthday. I'm soo proud of it. She asked for an outdoors cake and wanted it to be carrot flavored. I did a cream cheese icing on it. All is home made :)
Baking is a passion of mine, I love making people cake adn cupcakes for there birthday :)
One day ill have to make a nail polish themed cake he he. Now sadly I probably wont have time to post again till Sunday night as I have her birthday tomorrow and then going to see the Mother-in-law on Sunday so I hope you all have a fantastic weekend <3
