easter goodies! + nail art of a different kind

Hey guys, I decided to do a second post today just for fun.
Part of this post is non-nails, and then the end is sort of nails. Nail art of a different kind. Read more and see what I mean!


It's been a while since I posted any of my baked goods, and I made cupcakes yesterday!



Two-tone icing!


I learned this technique on some website, you fill 2 piping bags with different colors, and then you put those piping bags side by side in another piping bag. Genius!


Seeing as I'm making a non-nails post, I'll add in pictures of my Easter goodies.
It was a very Hello Kitty Easter for me!


I actually have 2 of those giant ones now - my aunt brought me one too.


Look how cute it all is! The egg apparently has stickers in it!

My favorite Easter present however, was this:


Look at the cute cupcake! Rhinestones too! But it gets better.


A cupcake necklace inside!! :D:D
So adorable.

Okay after all that, I will show you my different kind of nail art.

I was reading an issue of Cosmo at work last month, and I came across an add for the Sally Hansen polish strip things. A full page add. And it was adorable. So I decided I wanted to frame it.


And it is amazing!


I am in love with it. You can find this in a lot of magazines, mine came from the Cosmo issue with Mila Kunis on it.
I think it is a cute addition to my nail polish area! Hah.

Oh yeah, I also decided to order myself the Starry Temptress collection today. Paid a bit more for it than I wanted to, but shipping was free! Happy Easter to me, from me.

I hope you enjoyed my non-nails and semi-nails post :)

  7. those cupcakes are so cute :)
    i tried the same thing a while ago but instead of using two bags, you just (try) to fill one half with one colour, and the other half with the next colour, in the one bag. it was a pain! this way seems much easier.

    also, the framed ad is awesome, clever idea!
