Not your typical cupcake nails!

For our challenge in one of my favorite groups we were asked to do something inspired by cupcakes. Of course the same day the challenge was posted I broke almost all my nails down to extreme nubbins. I had really wanted to do cupcakes on my nails, but my nails are so short it would have never happened. A couple of girls convinced me to use my creative side and do something different, so I did. I decided not to do the typical white with different colored glitters that most think of when they do cupcake nails. I decided to do my nails based off of cupcake flavors! I'll link to the different indie shops that were used at the end of this post.

See I told you it is not the typical cupcake mani. It is different that's for sure. My honest opinion on the overall look of it, I hate it. I do however like the combos, so I thought I would still go ahead and share it with you because of that.

My thumb is a base coat of OPI Pink Friday with a coat of Nerd Lacquer Warrior Ethos, a layer of Hit Polish Wildberry Tart and another coat of Warrior Ethos. This is my Cherry chocolate chip nail!

My index finger is a base of Sinful Colors Nirvana with a coat of Amon by Little Mouse Ears. This is my German Chocolate nail!

 My pinky finger is Def Defying by China Glaze as the base with a coat of Hit Polish Tag Me on top. This is my Kiwi Coconut nail!

My ring finger is a base of Pastel Yellow by KleanColors with Silly Lily Tequila Sunrise and Hit Polish Pink Lemonade on top. This is my Lemon Raspberry nail!

My middle finger is a base of Sally Girl Orange, it is one of the scented they put out last year, topped with a coat of Tangerine Ice by Hit Polish. This is my Orange Dreamsicle nail!

Like I said, these are fun color/glitter combos. I like them all, just not together :o( Oh well, better luck next time huh? 

Here are the shops so you can go grab you some of these fun glitter toppers.
*Hit Polish

*Nerd lacquer

My little piece of Whimsy Beading

Hi all, hope your week is fabulous so far! I am truckin through mine, can't say that it has been a great one so far, but it hasn't been terrible either. Boy do I have a treat for you today though. I am so excited that this package got here that I could wet myself, LOL. 

I have been lusting after Whimsy Beading jewelry for a long time now. Since I don't go out, don't have dates, or anywhere really to wear such gorgeous pieces I held off on buying anything. There are sales pretty often over at Whimsy Beading, but it seemed like every time there was a sale I was broke...until now. 

I decided that I didn't care if I had a place to wear a piece of jewelry or not, I was going to have a Whimsy piece if it killed me. So what if I am a stay at home work from home mom, why should that stop me from owning something so gorgeous? That's right, IT SHOULDN'T! Every woman deserves to be able to put a piece of jewelry on and feel beautiful. So I went looking through what Kelly offers in the Etsy shop, looking for the perfect necklace. As I was browsing I realized something...everything is so versatile. Her pieces can be worn with just about every type of outfit you can imagine. Maybe I had been blinded by their beauty before and hadn't even noticed? 

I contacted Kelly and asked her to make me a custom piece that would be inspired by cupcakes and left everything up to her. She did message me a few questions, like my favorite colors and style. I still left everything design wise in her very capable hands. A short time later I got a message telling me my package was on the way. I have never stalked the mailman like I have for the last 3 days!. So do you want to see what Kelly came up with for me? Ha! Of course you do.

Isn't it gorgeous? I am beyond thrilled with my necklace, it is perfect! See how cute it looks with just an everyday simple cotton shirt. I can totally see wearing this with a pair of jeans and a cute blouse, a nice little sweater dress, or even a fancy cocktail dress. You could wear this grocery shopping, a family function, church and even a wedding. So many ways to wear it! 

Kelly really is a master at what she does, her work is amazing, plus she is as sweet as pie too. I think she nailed exactly what I was looking for and my personality with my necklace. In her shop you can find necklaces, earrings, and bracelets in a number of price ranges. There is also a section for charity items that are for sale. If you ever have a chance to get a piece of Whimsy Beading jewelry, you should. I don't think you will regret it at all.

Do you own a Whimsy piece yet? Is there a piece that you are dying to get your hands on?
