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?

Hello Kitty As A Reindeer Tutorial

 Wow, I can't believe 2011 is almost over! I guess that makes this my last post of the year. Today I have a tutorial from the 12 Days of Christmas challenge. Hillary requested this one so here it is!

 Start with the background of your choice. I used China Glaze For Audrey and topped it with OPI Paris Couture For Sure. Then with black acrylic paint make an oval on the ring finger and a half circle on the side of the index finger. 

 Add triangles on the index and ring finger to make her ears and on the remaining fingers make two slightly curved lines next to each other to start forming the reindeer tracks.

 Now to add the antlers, just make two thin lines on top of the head, in between the ears, and a shorter line branching off of those on each side.

 Make a small white oval shape in the black for her face. You do not want to fill in the entire oval, be sure to leave enough room at the top for the reindeer details.

 If you have made it this far you are in the home stretch! Take a light brown and fill in the antlers and part of the ears. Then with a darker brown and fill in the rest of the head.

 With the light brown make a small oval above Hello Kitty's face for the deer nose. Add in her eyes with black ovals, lines for whiskers and a yellow oval for her nose.

 Make a small black dot in the light brown ovals to finish the deer nose. Now, you can stop here or you can add in a bow. It's pretty easy but I do it in a few layers. First, with black, make a dot then a triangle connecting to it on each side and fill it in with white, then red and when all that dries I outline the circle and add in a curved line on each triangle.

 Top coat and you have Hello Kitty dressed as a reindeer!

 Hope you have a Happy New Year!!!

Day 10: Hello Kitty As A Reindeer

 Day ten already with Marta, Marketta and Carolina, it feels like this challenge has gone by so fast! Today is our second free day and I had to pull out Hello Kitty's Reindeer costume.
 Now, at first glance you may not notice, I didn't but I apparently forgot to fill in her bow! What is wrong with me lately? The middle and pinky fingers are supposed to be reindeer tracks. Anyways, I used China Glaze For Audrey and OPI Paris Couture For Sure as the base and the rest is acrylic paint.

 I am really excited about tomorrows nails, not sure how they will turn out but I can't wait to try it! Don't forget to check out what Marta, Marketta and Carolina did today! 

Halloween Hello Kitty Tutorial

 I have a huge obsession with Hello Kitty so it shouldn't be a surprise that I have a Hello Kitty design for Halloween. Her as a black cat was too cute so that's what we will be doing today. I couldn't decide on what to do with her and didn't want to make it too complicated so I just did simple webs. 

 I have to warn you guys, she is simple but you do have to be able to get the outline somewhat close and be able to do small details but I fully believe that if you have patience and take your time you can do it. 

 If you would like to see the tutorial keep reading.
