HELLO KITTY, HELLO HOUNDSTOOTH!

Yesterday I just knew I was going to want to stamp over that gorgeous pink glitter NOTD and the stamps I picked didn't disappoint. The Hello Kitty stamp and the houndstooth pattern have to be some of the best stamps ever. I just love the combo of them together too, and when paired with pink and glitter FORGET ABOUT IT!




When stamping my thumb I screwed up and stamped it diagonal. But I just added a few gold studs and totally turned this fail into a WIN! I think it also gave it a whole nautical feel and I am thinking I should do this look on purpose to all my nails soon, but with a red white and blue theme :)

GASP!!! I NEED ONE IN EVERY COLOR!!!

Maybe not one in EVERY color - but this green one sure would fit the bill!!!!

HELLO KITTY - GLITTERFIED

Here is my NOTD - a sparkly, glittery, Hello Kitty stamped masterpiece, lol. This came about after sitting at the dining room table for at least an hour with NOTHING working out! I tried several things and they just weren't turning out how I imagined, so I went with my no fail Hello Kitty stamp.

I used Sally Hansen polish for the base colors and then used red and blue Hot Topic glitters for the top. I just LOVE how the hot pink Sally Hansen with the red Hot Topic glitter came out looking bright cherry red, instead of dark red. These are super sparkly and just look awesome! Enjoy :)

**EDIT**

The HELLO KITTY stamp I ordered from Ebay - it isn't Konad brand. Here is a link to some for sale.

HELLO KITTY TO THE MAX!!!

Check this out:

Some people are just so creative, I swear! I thought this looked totally cute, and I know alot of my readers are makeup ladies & HK freaks (meant in the nicest way possible, of course), so I thought you might like this.

I found it over at Hello Kitty Hell - a hilarious site dedicated to making fun of Hello Kitty. The guy who writes it is pretty witty and funny.

HELLO KITTY IS A NERD

Have you guys seen the "nerd" HK stuff?? I could be way behind on this, but I just saw it today! I love this stuff. Why the heck do I like Hello Kitty so much? I especially love this nerd stuff because that is what I call my son :)

So I totally need to do my HK fauxnad stamp tonight and then draw some glasses on it!!!

HELLO KITTY NAIL POLISH AT TARGET

This is for all you Hello Kitty lovers out there:

While searching for sellers of Love My Nails nail polish, I came across a couple of Hello Kitty nail polish packs that are available at Target. They had no price listed for either of these, and said they were available in-store only.

The top kit looks like those are glitter nail polishes. Look at those cute lids on the bottom pack!! I would buy those just for that, but alas I'm on a no-buy until May.....

Does anyone have these or have seen these at Target?

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"?
