Firework Inspired Cupcakes

Hi Everyone. I hope you are having fun at some firework displays this weekend. I'm not attending any as no one I know is going to a display :( I love fireworks so while I had some time today I thought I would make some firework inspired cupcakes. 








So here are the results. I burnt the first batch unfortunately, but these turned out okay. They are too shallow, but I guess they are more like cookie cakes, ha ha ;)



Have you made any firework inspired treats? Will you be attending any displays? Have a good time if you are.




Love to you all

NOTD: Nails Inc. Tate With Some Sparkle

Hi there you wonderful lovelies. In the latest issue of Glamour Magazine I received a free Nails Inc. Nail Polish in the shade Tate. Thank you once again Glamour Magazine for another fabulous nail colour. Also they are the only magazine that I am subscribed to that still sends me my free gift in the post. That earns them big points with me. Anyway, on to today's post. With the upcoming Guy Fawkes celebrations this weekend I thought it might be nice to paint my nails in a sparkly fashion.


 


Left: 99p Stores Clear Nail Polish with Pink/Multi Glitters, Right: Nails Inc. Tate Nail Polish


First I applied my usual Rimmel base coat, then two coats of the Nails Inc. Tate Nail Polish. I think this is a gorgeous, classic red that went on really smoothly. My only criticism of this polish is because of the shape of the lid and it's shiny surface that it slipped out of my hand and I painted my coffee table. Big whoops. I much prefer square lids with a rubber or matte surface as they are easier to open and grip on to so that you have full control when applying your nail polish. Here is a link to the Nails Inc. website, Link :)


I then applied four coats of the 99p Stores Nail Polish. This was because hardly any glitter came out on application and so I had to build it up. This did come in a pack of three glitters for 99p though so at 33p for just this nail polish it's nothing to cry about. This nail polish does not have a name and does not appear on the 99p Stores website.





Please excuse my messy manicure as I always try to tidy up the edges after painting my nails, but my nail polish remover was just useless this evening.


Have you found any great glitter nail polishes? What are your Nails Inc. favourites?


Love to you all
