Hello Kitty Halloween 2.0

Hi everyone,

Last year I did my first Halloween mani and the theme was none other than my favorite: Hello Kitty! You can check it here.So this year I had to paint her again, which I did... Not only once, but 4 times!!!

I really love how the HK turned out. But I had 2 small issues: 

1 - I chose a way too dark blue shade for the gradient (Color Club Blue-topia). The black costumes don't really stand out. Too bad!

2 - The orange paint I have didn't really give me the opaqueness I was hoping for. As you can see the pumpkin costume (on my pinky), the dark base color is kind of showing thru the paint. This brings me back to issue #1 above.

Leaving those little issues out, my HK are pretty cute, right?! ;-)

Happy Halloween to all of you!!

Thanks for reading!

Border Nails

Hello my dear readers,

I was so happy with my previous mani (Cartoon Nails) that I decided to do another one. This time it's not another cartoon mani, but just a plain and simple border mani.

These border nails are so simple and yet delicate and pretty. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Polishes used:
Hits Speciallità - Secret Gold (2 coats)
Hits Speciallità - Golden Shine (1 coat)

Fake Tattoos [Review]

Hi everyone,

I have another product review for you. This time it's not polish, it's Fake (nail) Tattoos! FakeTattoos is the leading webshop of temporary tattoos in Europe, based in Gothenburg, Sweden. They have two product lines:

1. Stock tattoos - the temporary tattoos on stock in their webshop
2. Custom tattoo production - this is when they produce custom temporary tattoos for companies or any other corporate citizens and special events

According to their website, their temporary tattoos are completely safe, non-toxic and hypoallergenic. They use only FDA certified colorants and time-proven manufacturing techniques to ensure their products meet or exceed all applicable U.S. and international regulatory requirements.

They were kind enough to send me all 6 tattoo designs they have available for sale. Here they are:

They were all so cute that it was very difficult to choose which one to try first. But I had to start somewhere, so I picked the "diamond" tattoo.

The tattoo is very easy to apply. This is how to transfer them to your nails:
1. Clean your nail with soap and water
2. Cut out the desired tattoo
3. Take slowly away the plastic cover and press the tattoo on to the nail
4. Keep pressing with wet paper
5. When you feel that the paperbacking is sliding away you can slowly remove it
6. Let the tatto dry for 5 min
7. Choose a high quality top coat and paint the nail (paint at least two thin layers)
8. Let it dry
9. Finished!

Fake Tattoos can be purchased directly thru their website for €7(9$) per design package, each containing 2 sheets of tattoos.

I still haven't tested the colored tattoos, so I can't say anything yet about how "opaque" they are over color nail polish. But I'll be trying them soon. Overall I really like these nail tattoos! They are an easy and fun way to spice up your manicure! I wish they had a "superheroes" design as well, it would have complemented their collection really well! Don't you think so? :)

Polishes used:
Bondi - Chasing the Sun
Hits Speciallità - Stardust (Hello Kitty Collection)

I hope you liked these tattoos as well! Thanks for reading!

Hello Kitty Halloween

Hello everyone!

I know it's a bit early, but I want to share with you my first halloween nail art ever! I totally missed it last year - don't ask me why, because I can't remember what I was doing around this time last year.

My inspiration was this desktop background that Ive had for ages and always thought it'd turn into a nice nail art. Since it's not a theme that one would wear on a normal day, I had to wait until halloween.

This Hello Kitty wasn't the easiest to paint, it's so small and full of tiny details for the mummy wrap. But I did my best!

The kitty head shaped moon and the spooky eyes glow in the dark!

Materials used:

OPI Into The Night (2 coats)

Acrylic Paint

China Glaze Ghoulish Glow (2 coats)
