Balloon Cakespiration

I didn't plan on doing another cakespiration so soon but I came across this adorable cake while trolling Pinterest and it was so easy I decided to do it.



And here is the adorable cake made by The Cake That Ate Paris


So what do you guys think? Did I do this one justice?

Neon Dotticure

Here's a new twist on an old favorite! The first time I did this, I used a light minty blue and Flip Flop Fantasy and it's been one of my most liked manis ever! The actual design was inspired by @madicures on Instagram, so I can't take credit for this design.

So anyways, today I've changed up the colors and holy jeebus this is bright! I love it! The colors are PolisHaus "Bewitched" and China Glaze "Flip Flop Fantasy" (the original). 

**side note** PolisHaus will be closing shop on Jan 31 so if you want to pick up this shade or any others head on over to her site http://polishaus.bigcartel.com/!

Roses and Dots Cakespiration

It's been a long time since I've done a cakespiration! If you are a new reader, every once in awhile I like to do what I call a cakespiration. What it is, is I find or come across a photo of a cake and recreate as best I can, the same design on my nails or something very similar based on the cake. I love doing this because there are so many beautiful cakes out there and most of the time the designs aren't terribly complicated and they make perfect inspiration for nail art!

So today's look is kind of funky with different sized black dots and red roses. Please forgive my leaves. I know they're awful. It was the first time trying one stroke with acrylic paint and I failed miserably. So, just ignore that but I am in love with how my roses turned out! I also used acrylic paint for those. My white base is Nina Ultra Pro "French White" and the dots are Orly "Liquid Vinyl".



Here is the cake that inspired my look tonight. This cake was made by Graceful Cake Creations. Totally cute right?!




So what do you guys think of this as a design on the nails? I'm digging it!
