My nails didn't see a lot of nail polish the past days due to me being busy baking a special cake. I'm always afraid the nail polish will fell off suddenly while baking and disappear in the cake *shivers*. So.. as you might have guessed one of the things I love to do, next to polishing zhe nailz, is baking cakes! And to decorate cakes with marzipan and stuff... (and of course eating them afterwards, nomnom.. ). This weekend I made a ladybug pie for a sweet sweet girl who turned 1 today, hurray! Not that she'll remember the cake, but hey, at least the parents will (and I still have the pictures ;) ). This is the cake I made:
When I was done baking and decorating I decided to paint a ladybug on one of my nails. Just because I can. :O I used Zoya Kristi for the red. What an awesome red! The pictures doesn't show the colour at his best, but I'll make a special post for Kristi soon. This is just about lady bugs, lol. The black details I handpainted with Konad Special Polish in Black, because it's so pigmented. It's not the easiest polish to work with, because it's so gloopy, but it worked for now. Then I used two little silver rhinestones for the eyes. And I finished with a nice thick layer of Seche Vite! I actually almost never do nail art like this and I must say: r.e.s.p.e.c.t. for all those girls (and boys!) who can turn nails into beautiful miniature paintings! :b
Thanks for watching!
