fortune cookie in spot on shocker!

Yesterday my fortune cookie read: “you will discover a talent for artistic pursuits.” As it turns out, today was arty indeed!

First:

Then:

 

I went to a taster cupcake decorating class and made both of these decorations in about half an hour. I’m quite impressed with myself even if my hot hands tended to melt the chocolate paste. It’s why you can see my fingerprints in the chocolate paste rose.

Finally, my Easter nail art. This is probably the first time I’ve done anything other than a solid colour with glitter since Christmas, hence my lack of posting here. I’ve done a “skittles” mani with white polka dots to pull the pastels together. Here’s my hipstamatic fancypants photo.

Here’s my colour-accurate photo!

This used (thumb-little finger) Barry M Blue Moon, OPI Pink Friday, Barry M Mint Green, Models Own Utopia, and a yellow I frankened (mixed up myself) from white and an old slightly shimmery yellow. I polka dotted with a dotting tool and Andrea Fulerton’s white striper polish. I really like this white polish – it’s thick enough to be opaque in one dot, but runny enough that it doesn’t dry out as soon as you start nail art with them.

My brother said that these nails were “sooo Cath Kidston” (ahh, hipster 14 year olds) so I got my favourite mug out

 

And while I’m picspamming, Sookie wanted in on the action.

 

 

Probably see you next school holidays!! :D

My cat is so cute, hugging her little mousey friend.

full moon, half moon, total eclipse

Yup, I went there with the vintage Jaffa Cake advert. Anyway, I used one of my new polishes – my first Zoya polish – to create a half moon manicure. Still not sure if I actually like the look, and I also think I could do better, but never mind.

Please excuse the stray cat hair that I’ve just noticed. This is Zoya’s Sooki, which I bought because my cat’s name is Sookie but also because it’s simply a really nice, really bright classic red. I love this colour, and the formula is amazing. I’m not quite sure what to call it, probably a subtle jelly finish, but basically it just applies pretty much perfectly. Two coats and I was done. It’s a slippery Zoya slope.

And just for kicks, here’s Sookie and Sooki. (Yes, my cat is on top of a buffet birdhouse)
