So I have been craving a cupcake lately, but being baking challenged, I decided to just paint some :) I used both the Island Fun and Paradise Sun collection from Zoya to create this look.

I started off with a base of Genesis. Then I painted my tips using Cecilia (index), Nana (middle), Talia (Ring), and Serenity (pinky).

Then I painted designs on top of each tip to mimic a cupcake wrapper. I created stripes on my index finger using Selene, then polkadots on my middle using Mae, more stripes on my ring finger using Oceane, and on my Pinky I created polka dots once more using Isa.

I then used a dotting tool and Genesis to add polka dots connecting my initial base of Genesis to the colored tips. This gave the illusion of frosting dripping from the cupcake onto the wrapper.

The Cherries on my index and ring fingers were created using Demetria, and the cherries on my middle and pinky fingers were created using Aphrodite.

I used the final polish of these collections, Jace, to create long sprinkles on the icing. I then used Cecilia, Mae, Oceane, and Isa to create smaller sprinkles.

What do you guys think? Any suggestions or criticism? Besides that my cherries are just awful XD lol There is always something that doesn't turn out!

Haha yes! That's cute!! And the metallic polish makes the perfect cupcake! So cute! Next time I would flip them around so the cherry is on the tip of your nail :)

I personally would have curved the cupcake liners up on the sides, but I couldn't have pulled this off so kudos to you
