Cake and Cookie Nail Art

I was looking up "cute nails" for some inspiration and I happened to find a whole bunch of cake and cupcake manicures. I also have an abundance of cake and cookie mixes in my apartment so I went with a cake and cookie themed manicure for this week. And Yes, I did bake two dozen cookies and a batch of brownies after I finished up the manicure. It seemed only fitting. 

Super simple nail art for this mani, just a base color on each nail and then the designs all came alive with some acrylic paint. Then some top coat to make everything shiny. 

Birthday Cupcake Nail Art

With my birthday coming up I wanted to do a manicure around it, but not in a "in your face" kind of way. The cupcake idea seemed to solve all of my problems. I painted on alternating vanilla and chocolate cupcakes and then added the corresponding amount of candles (19) to my nails. I'm really happy with the end result, and it didn't take as long as my more complicated manicures usually do. 

Can you spot my matching cupcake socks?
