My One Year Blogaversary with my Birthday Nails

So one year ago, I started Ehmkay Nails as an outlet to post my nails, mostly art and glitter layerings, and I can't believe it's been one year. I think I've grown in my nail care, shaping, and mostly, picture taking. I'm not exactly where I want to be with my blog, but I look forward to the future as I progress and learn.

My birthday was June 6, and like last year, I thought I would share my birthday nails. If you follow me on Instagram, you have seen these already but I thought I would give the details here. 

I knew I wanted to use Cirque Polish XX because it was a long time lemming and I finally got it at Artist and Fleas last month. I went with a base of two coats of Elevation Polish Wuyi Mountain which I snagged as a small batch prototype last month, but it will be available again. I then added one coat of XX to my middle nail and thumb.

I wanted to do a cupcake but not full blown cupcakes like last year. This cupcake has A LOT of frosting! I used white (Orly Au Champagne--my go to white) as a base for the confetti and the cupcake. Then with a small dotting tool and a striping brush I went in with a variety of neon colors and filled it in. LOVE. It got a lot of compliments too and felt very festive. 

I took pictures of my nails at a garden and I think it was super pretty, so enjoy the flower background. You will want to enlarge these.
