Twinsie Tuesday-Inspired by Food/Drink

Hi everyone and welcome to Tuesday.  Yesterday was kind of a weird day because I decided it was finally time to go see the doctor for my migraines.  I ended up working a half day and then went in and had to do bloodwork, schedule an MRI, and then got some medicine to take.  My MRI isn't until July 7th but hopefully I will have some relief with the medicine until then.  Sometimes it just takes talking (or typing) about it to realize that you need to do something about it.  Not much else is going on around here besides stormy weather and a typical work day.

Today's TT post was a fun one, inspired by food or drink.  I had a hard time deciding what to do so I eventually took a peek at my "nail art inspiration" board that I made on Pinterest.  That's where I found the picture below and thought it would be really fun to recreate.   Sweets are my weakness and I saw all those pastel colors and knew that was the winning picture.

To create the base for this look I started with two coats of OPI Alpine Snow for the white frosting.  For the inner vanilla cake, I made a ruffian and used two coats of OPI You're So Vain-illa.  For the layers of frosting, I took some thin striping tape and taped off seven pieces on each nail.  With a small nail art brush I dabbed on the frosting colors so that they wouldn't be completely uniform.  Here's the frosting colors-

Pinky/red frosting-Julie G Romeo
Red/orange frosting-Maybelline Color Show Coral Heat
Orange frosting-China Glaze Metro Pollen-tin
Lemon frosting-Revlon Buttercup
Mint frosting-Essie Mint Candy Apple
Lavender frosting-Essie Go Ginza

To finish everything off and make it look more cake like, I took the same small nail art brush and dabbed OPI You're So Vain-illa around the ruffian edges and in between the cake layers.  I finished off with one coat of topcoat.

 
I hope you guys enjoyed this look, I had a lot of fun creating it.  It was the perfect nail art to take up some time on a lazy Sunday afternoon :)  Don't forget to check out the other Twinsies below, I can't wait to see what food or drink they chose.
