Faded Florals

What you will need...

                                      {the toothpicks are optional}

  1. Fill the nail polish remover cap with nail polish               remover/acetone and place a cotton ball on the nail polish remover so the strong chemicals won't evaporate. Set aside.

2. Paint the base of your nails with something light and wait until they dry completely.

3.Place a dot of each color on your plate {shown in steps 3, 8, & 11}.

4-5. Dip one of the cotton swabs in the nail polish remover and use it to dilute the polish drops. You want to add a few drops of polish remover in the nail polish until it starts to look thin and opaque. 

6. Using a dabbing motion, create abstract flower shapes on each nail. Leave room for the other colors too.

7. Optional: using the toothpick draw a spiral circle going inside the flower to give it more of an effect.

8-13. Apply the other colors too and repeat the optional step 7.

14. Using the same white nail polish dilute it with nail polish remover until opaque and add a thin dot to the center of each flower for the faded look. Apply the top coat.

                 

                                      And voila.

Cupcake Indulgence

It's nice for a girl to treat herself with homemade cupcakes right? 

After studying hard for finals exam for weeks and hours I thought it was a good enough treat

to "reward" myself for and indulge my sweet tooth into these delicious cupcakes I made

{not from scratch though because I am afraid something could go wrong and ruin the adorable small cakes}

But anyways this is my creation...not the best but good enough

        1. Place the cupcake liners to cupcake pan(s) and            preheat oven.

2. Add & mix in all the needed ingredients. 

         3. Grab an "ice cream scooper" {to make all the               cupcakes the same size} & place the batter in the cupcake liners. 

         4. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full and place            in oven. Take out of the oven at the estimated      time it says on the directions of the box.

           5. Wait for the cupcakes to cool off for about    15-20 minutes until you can frost.

             6. I just used vanilla frosting and mixed it with  McCormick's neon food coloring.

...And of course I had to try a cupcake and it was an indulgence of a cupcake.
