I started of this design with Ciate 'Boom Box' on my thumb and pinky, along with Sinful Colors 'Snow Me White' on my mid finger. I left my pointer and ring bare except for a base coat, but I'll be adding the cupcakes next.
To create the cupcakes, I freehanded a French tip with Ciate 'Kiss Chase'. You could tape your tip off if you prefer, but since the edge is going to be covered I decided to use this as an opportunity to practice. Using a striping brush and my blue polish, I created stripes on my tip to decorate my cupcake liner. Next, I used a medium dotting tool and white polish to create the frosting edge of my cupcake along the top of the French tip. Using the applicator brush of my white polish I added the top of the cupcake. I then used a large dotting tool and Ciate 'Mistress' to dot a cherry on top. You can stop there if you want simple cupcakes, but I went a head and used black polish (Sinful Colors 'Black on Black') to create a happy face.
On my mid finger I freehand the phrase 'You're so sweet' using a thin brush that I trimmed down to make even thinner, with my blue polish. I choose this phrase versus 'Happy Birthday' because my daughter is sweeter than any cupcake, plus this is more universal.
I performed a little clean up and added a top coat. These are a big hit with my little munchkin, I hope you enjoyed them too. Thanks for stopping by, see you next time.
Your Fellow Plebe,
