Nail Art Tutorial: Hello Kitty Nails...Meow!

After 2 long weeks of sporting my M&M Nails, I'm finally saying goodbye to it because my nails have grown longer and it's finally chipping a bit from all the dishwashing and domesticated what-nots! :)  

After all the crazy game-inspired nails, I've finally decided to lay low and do something dainty, something I've always wanted to create...truly, girly nails!

Hello Kitty Inspired Nails!


I am testing a new base coat and top coat in this tutorial.  Zoya Anchor Basecoat from OrganicRituals Spa.



Step 1:
After base coat application, I applied 2 coats of Orly Nail Lacquer in Cotton Candy (from Digital Traincase)

Step 2:
If you want to make sure the "French Tip" you apply won't mess up, draw a thin border line using L.A. Colors Art Deco Polish in White just like photo below.


Fill in white polish not going beyond the line you created.  In this tutorial, I am using Nature Republic Polish in WH002.

Step 3:
Do the same as Step 2, this time with Red Polish.  For the outline, I used L.A. Colors Art Deco in Red.


Fill in with bright red polish, I used Revlon's All Fired Up polish, which is turning out to be my favorite red polish nowadays!
Step 4:
I won't be drawing anything on the Red portion thick French Tip but apply white dots on it!  I used a medium sized nail art dotting tool.


Step 5:
Using Prettynails' 2 Way Nail Art Pen in Black, I drew Hello Kitty's Eyes and whiskers.


Step 6:
Using L.A. Art Deco Polish in matte yellow I drew Hello Kitty's Nose.


Step 7:
With Red Prettynails' 2 Way Nail Art Pen, I drew a simple ribbon because that completes Hello Kitty! 

Step 8:
Making sure the designs you drew are COMPLETELY dry, I applied Zoya Armor Top Coat and UV Block.



I also did my toenails!  Hello Kitty from fingers to toes!  It's time I get girly!


Have a wonderful Monday everyone!

Keep smilin'
Stay happy!
