Can you tell I’m not a huge candy person? I am not even a huge sweets person but I do have a soft spot for chocolates and cheesecakes.

After seeing Rachel’s  (from Nails, the Final Frontier) chocolate drizzle nails I was reminded how much I love cheesecakes and decided on them for today’s prompt.

Sugar-spin all the things. This is what happens when I go on a three month break. I binge. Oops!

Why of course I had to do another sugar-spin for today’s prompt! I kind of stretched it to include sweets because I was at a loss for actual candy.

I created a funfetti cupcake base with chocolate frosting. I am not a huge cake or cupcake person but the above is the only type I will ever eat. It looks fun and the frosting is yummy!

Check the sidebar for more information.

There is another monthly challenge happening over at Challenge Your Nail Art (on Facebook) completely centered around candy! Yumm!

My favorite sweets are mint truffles. I especially love the melted drizzle on top so what better way to mimic that chocolate-y goodness than with the tried and true sugar-spin technique??

Can you believe I have not done a sugar-spin in almost three months? I completely forgot how relaxing it was!

I’ve participated here and there in the A2Z challenge. When I do not get to the prompt on Thursday, I think ‘I will get to it by the weekend!’ then the weekend rolls away so does the rest of the week and we’re on to the next prompt!

 

Of course I had to do a sugar-spin nail art for the textured prompt. We all know my not so quiet disdain for textured polishes but I love me some sugar-spin! I was feeling a purple and teal combo and really love the final look!

I hope you do too!

 

Purple & Teal Sugar-Spun #nailart | The Rite of AgingI started with 2 coats of Color Club Mrs. Robinson and Barry M Plum as my bases.

I sugar-spun with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Hunger Flames, Cancun and Zoya Haven. A lot of people wait for the nail polish to dry on the surface before they dip the toothpick in. I personally like to mix the polish and it dries to maintain the right consistency!

I wanted to do a green manicure given it are opposite red on the color wheel. Everyone did dark, vampy heartbreaks for the Anti-Valentine’s prompt and I wanted to explore the opposite direction. But, I didn’t want to sugarspin greens so I jumped on the bandwagon and stayed with the similar.

I wanted to stamp hearts on top of the blood splatter but I kind of really liked the splatter on it’s own! I hope you like it.

 

Sugarspun and Splatter Manicure | The Rite of AgingI started with 2 coats of Barry M Gelly Chai as my base.

I sugar spun with OPI Lincoln Park After Dark and Zoya Anais.

I splattered with Sephora by OPI Mr. Right Now.

Nail Art: Holiday Sugar-Spin

New Year’s is right around the corner! It is already 2015! We turned the century FIFTEEN years ago! I was born in a totally different millennia! I am going to turn a quarter of a century old…Does that all sound weird or is it just me?

I am not a night owl. I will be asleep before the clock strikes 12. Thinking about staying up until midnight makes me sleepy! Even so, I still want to celebrate and what better way than with a shimmery sugar-spun topped with glitter?? I feel pretty festive looking at these nails. Maybe I will stay up! Who am I kidding…no I won’t!

 

I hope you like it my manicure! Do you have plans for New Year’s?

 

New Year's Sugar-Spin | The Rite of AgingI started with 2 coats SpaRitual Howl and 1 coat Sephora by OPI 212-Sephora. This brown-base gold flaky polish is long gone but apparently there is an OPI dupe floating around in the universe!

I sugar-spun with Wet n Wild Burgandy Frost.

I used a toothpick to place glitter pieces from Sephora by OPI Come to Pappa-razzi.
