THE HELLO KITTY'S MEOW

Well I did my final manicure for my Las Vegas trip last night. Since I have not packed yet, and really have no idea what all I am taking, I figured I was going to need all of tonight to get ready. My plane leaves at about 11am tomorrow morning - so I better get everything I need to do done tonight. And of course the BF is soooo worried about what he is going to eat I might have to get a couple of little meals ready so he will just have to pop them in the micro while I'm gone.

I have also been un-patiently waiting for some "fauxnad" plates I ordered on ebay to come in. They finally did yesterday!!! I couldn't be more excited because there is a Hello Kitty design on one of the plates. I have been trying to hold off using my new MAC Hello Kitty nail polishes because I wanted to use them with this plate.

:::EDIT::: I ordered my Fauxnad plates from HERE on ebay. I had great results with this Ebay seller. They do come from Hong Kong - so expect about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks for delivery time. They are called Stamping Nail Art Image Plates. Polish Pixie has orded from here with good results too :)

HERE IS THE LINK for the set of plates that has the HELLO KITTY plate. You have to buy the whole set to get the HK one.

After SEVERAL trial and errors on seeing what would work with the design I had in mind, I used only the MAC - Something About Pink of the Hello Kitty polishes. I will use the others another time.

I am so eff-ing pleased with this Koni I could cuss :) After I finally got the color combo's down, it turned out cuter than I imagined it would. I took a TON of pictures of it and plan on sharing them all with you. So even though it is the same thing over and over again in the pics I can't quit looking at them :)



First the pic's and them I will tell you all how I did it!

For the base I used MAC - Something About Pink. A total Barbie pink in my book! I really liked this color on than I did in the bottle. It was really nice with my skin tone I think. I then used Konad SP in white and used the houndstooth pattern from my konad plate. I then used Konad SP in black to stamp the Hello Kitty heads. I also picked up a great tip off Konad's website, that in order to minimize the streaking only brush over the nail one time with the top coat. "Overworking" the top coat will cause smearing. And as you can see, it really worked good! I just concentrated on covering the black polish and knew I could always come back later and recover the whole nail with another coat of Seche to smooth it out.

Next, you know I had to bling up my nails, after all I am going to the King of Bling city! So I added two clear, round rhinestones for the eyes on all of my nails! How cute is that?

So how do you think I did ladies? Who is ready to come over to my house and get their nails "Hello Kitty-ed"?
