Cosmetic Cupcake

So clearly I am sooooo imaginative when it comes to post titles - NOT! I’ve been wanting to try out a gorgeous purple glitter I received from Scandal Cosmetics but didn’t want the hassle of glitter removal so I used it in a purple skittles mani. Unfortunately I didn’t realise until after I’d taken all my photos and removed my mani that I had filed my ring finger nail ridiculously crooked so my mani looks weird =S


What I used:

Pinky: I used 2 coats of China Glaze Tart-y to the Party as my base. I did a glitter gradient using Scandal Cosmetics Heart lacquer in 47 Silver Holic* and Essie Set in Stone.

Ring finger: I used 1 coat of Scandal Blackline in 5804 Modern Black* and stamped dots using China Glaze Harmony.

Middle finger: I used 2 coats of China Glaze Tart-y to the Party as my base and 2 coats of Scandal Cosmetics Heart lacquer in 63 Purple Dia. Purple Dia contains large silver hex glitter and smaller silver glitter in a medium purple base. I love it layered over Tart-y to the Party!


Index finger: I used 2 coats of OPI Alpine Snow and added a heart rhinestone from their stone set*.

Thumb: 2 coats of China Glaze Tart-y to the Party as my base and I stamped dots using China Glaze Millenium.


The stone set contains a great mix of shades and sizes of rhinestones - there’s hearts (my fave!), teardrops, stars and ovals. I have other rhinestone sets and they don’t come with as much variety.


Details: Scandal Heart nail lacquers are available from Scandal Cosmetics online store for $4, Blackline lacquers are available for $5.50 and the stone set is $6.

Thanks for looking as always!
