Smiley Face Nail Art Tutorial! :)

You will need:
-Base coat (I used Revlon multicare base + top coat
-Bright Yellow polish (I used Sally Hansen Insta-dry in Lightening)
-Black polish (I used Silky Girl in black)
-White Polish (I used Silky Girl in white)
-Nail brush (You can purchase a tiny brush from an art store, or purchase a nail art brush at Sally's Beauty Supply Store
-Top coat (I used Sally Hansens Diamond Strength top coat)
-Bobby pin or nail dotter (You can purchase a nail dotter at Sally's Beauty Supply Store)
Stepz:
First, apply the base coat. Let dry. Then apply a thin coat of yellow polish. Add a second coat if needed. Dot on two black medium-sized dots with a bobby pin. Paint on a smiley face with black polish and a small paintbrush or nail art brush. Add two small white dots with the paintbrush inside of the two bigger black dots. Apply a top coat.

Best frosting ever!

So I recently made this frosting 4 some cupcakes, and it was absolutely delicious! It's great for piping on cupcakes, or cookies, as it's thick-ish (it can be made thinner, though).
Ingredients:
1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup cream cheese
small spoonful milk (more or less, depending on the consistency you're going for)
1 cup icing sugar

Stepz:
Cream the butter and cream cheese together, until well mixed. Add a small spoonful of milk, and add icing sugar 1 cup at a time. If you want a thinner consistency, simply add more milk. Store in a container in the fridge.
