Khaki Nails
So after seeing Joannaloves (http://joannaloves.com/ ) Khaki nail trend post the other day I just had to try it. I never would have thought of Khaki green for a nail polish, but I love it. I went to the chemist and the only polish they had was Maybelline Express Finish 40 polish. I was disappointed that it was the only one, because it would have been nice to compare products, but I was still glad they had one!
I’ve never tried the Express Finish range and I was impressed. The consistency was nice, it spread evenly and after two coats the colour looked gorgeous. And it’s lasted on my nails all weekend, what a shocker, no polish lasts that long on me! The green has shimmer going through it so it sparkles in the sun. I think this is a colour I will keep going back to.
Baking : Mini Muffins
So, I decided I’d bake some mini- muffins since I was out of work early, and I’d bought the mini muffin cases and I have been dying to make these for AGES! I hope you enjoy trying them, they are DELICIOUS.
Here’s the recipe I used:
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Decoration ( optional ) 15 minutes
Ingrediants:
1 3/4 all purpose flour ( plain flour )
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Any extras : bananas, blueberries, chocolate chips etc
Method:
Whisk all dry ingredients together.
Mix the egg, vanilla and oil. ( You would mix bananas here too! )
Combine wet and dry ingredients until almost mixed thoroughly ( add chocolate chips etc ) it’s important not too over mix – I think I did though!
Place in a lined baking tray at 357 Fahrenheit ( 190 Degrees Celsius ) until brown, this will take approx 10 minutes. I found it easier putting th emixture into an icing bag ( or a ziplock bag in my case ) as it was easier to fill the cases without being fiddly!
Decoration:
I decided to decorate mine as they are for the younger kids in my house so I just mixed Icing sugar with water, added a drop of pink food colouring to some, and green to another and used various sprinkles on top of that.
et voilà
