I saw a nail design in a Japanese magazine, where they made a strawberry shortcake design, and used textured nail polish to represent the cake part. So, that gave me an idea to try out a cupcake design using the same premise...
I made the frosting with acrylic, separately on a nail form, and glued them on my nail afterwards. I used OPI's Liquid Sand in "Pussy Galore" and "What Wizardry Is This?" for the pink and brown cake. The white/yellow cake is by Zoya's Pixie Dust in "Godiva". I used a rhinestone as a "cherry" on the chocolate frosting, and Nails Inc.'s "Sweets Way" and "Topping Lane" for the sprinkles on the vanilla and strawberry frosting.
I wanted to incorporate some cherries in the design, so I used some nail stickers on top of Sephora by OPI's "Havana Dreams" and some white polka dots. (I still need some practice with polka dots... ;P )
Overall, I'm satisfied with how it came out, but of course, there's always room for improvment. :)
