Since I just celebrated my own birthday in January, I
thought I’d do a manicure inspired by one of my yummy birthday treats. Here are the nails:

What you see in the picture above is a paleo, gluten free

Or at least that’s what it
was supposed to be. Complications arose, and were conquered, and it turned out
to be more like an ice cream cake….but more on that later.

I knew I just had to use that as my inspiration, especially
with my new polishes from Nicole By Opi.

Normally, I’m not a fan of brown nail looks, but I love how the water marble
came out, don’t you?
If only I could get the swirls in the cake to look this
pretty!

wonderful result! Whole mani looks really like chocolate cake
Ohhh thank you 🙂 I'm so glad the resemblance came through ok 🙂
Wow. I recently attempted a water marble so I know just how hard it is. You're talented! This is awesome!
Thanks Anne! It just takes practice. Lots and lots of practice…. you'll get there!
What a gorgeous water marble!
Thank you Lisa!
Awesome! You did a great interpretation of a tasty looking treat!
Thank you love, it was quite yummy!
Hey now…stop with the talent! You can marble too! The one thing Ive never done successfully! Super duper job! Love the colours too!
Hahahah wait till you see some of my Valentine's Day nails I did for the "Week of Love" challenge next week…talent will not be a word associated with at least one of the looks! But thank you so much for your kind words Amanda, I appreciate it!
What part of your marble do you have issues with?
Your nails look so yumm! I suck so much at doing water marbles T^T Oh and can I have a piece of your cake please *__*
What? There is no way YOU would suck at water marbles. I bet you aren't giving yourself enough credit 🙂 I'm glad you like how they came out! xo
Nail art inspired by cake? Yes please!
Haha I know right? Maybe this will give me a good excuse to bake more…."I need inspiration for my nails!"
Fabulous water marble. Not sure which looks more yummy – the nails or the cake!
Oh you are too kind Claire, thank you!
The cake and the nails look great.. Happy Belated Birthday also!
Thanks love! xo
I love the color combos of the water marble! Just gorgeous! That cake looks delicious, even if the outcome wasn't so great!!
Thanks Dani! At the end of the day, it's still yummy, just not as good as what I had in my head. Can't really go wrong with chocolate and coconut ice cream cake!
I don't normally like brown polish either… I actually don't think I even own any… but I love this watermarble and the inspiration behind it! Great petal shapes! I can never get nice petals my lines always end up wonky 🙁
These are some of my first! I bought some brown polish ages ago (it was on super clearance!) and I was hoping to have use for it, but the formula was complete crap for most things. I'm so pleased these work out. Keep trying, it will only get better with practice!
