Hello Kitty With Monsters Tutorial

 First off, I apologize for the horrid cuticles, the weather here has not been kind and snowboarding doesn't help either. Second, this isn't as in depth as I usually do my tutorials but if you have been around and have seen my other HK tutorials it is pretty similar to those. Plus, I sort of forgot to take pictures of everything but I am sure you will be able to follow along. 
 When I saw the monster designs for some of the new Hello Kitty stuff I knew I had to do nail art to match. My base is OPI Skull & Glossbones. Start off by making the basic shapes with black acrylic paint. I am only doing Hello Kitty's face on my ring fingers and the rest will be the plain monsters. 


 After you have the shapes, start filling in. I always do the white for HK's head first and work out from there. The monsters with the pointed horns are green and the crab looking ones are red and blue but you could do them any color you like.


 Finish filling in and adding details like the eyes, mouths, rosy cheeks, and HK's bow.



 Add top coat and you are done.



 Pictures of my right hand, not so great but I loved this one so much I wore it over a week! I did add some gold holographic glitter the next day but didn't get pictures of it with that.


 I do a lot of Hello Kitty designs so would you like to see every step of how I do them all or would you just prefer the pictures since most of them are done the same way?

Tinsel Town

 I haven't been around much lately, sorry for that! I had planned to do nail art all month but haven't really felt up to it. Hopefully, I will get back on track. I do have a few swatches to post and another Hello Kitty design, I wore that for more than a week and still haven't posted it, I'm horrible. The pictures are being edited right now so it should be up soon. 
 Today I have Tinsel Town, another polish from my swap with Marketta, is a charcoal blue base with silver glitter. It reminds me a lot of China Glaze It's Alive just grey instead of green. I used two coats, it covered perfectly with no issues.

Pink And Black Plaid Tutorial

 A super quick and easy design today but one that I think looks really nice. If you have problems making straight lines my advice is get a very long striping bush, load it with paint and lay the brush on the nail then drag it off. Instead of trying to draw a line the brush will do it for you. 
 Start with a pink base, I used OPI Cherry Blossoms because of the shimmer in it. 


 With black acrylic paint make a thin and a wide line down each nail.


 Now, with pink acrylic paint make a line on each black line.


 Lastly, make a few thin black lines across each nail, top coat and your done.



 I hope you all have a Happy Valentines Day if you celebrate it!
