Hello Kitty!

Hi!
Ok so, I have to explain how excited I am that I actually have followers!  Now I actually have a valid excuse to do my nails all the time ;)  Welcome all!  Hooray!

This time around, I've got some Hello Kitty nails (of course)!  I found this pretty shimmery color and stamped with some black polish on top to come up with these guys.  I was walking in Walgreens the other day when I noticed a huge tub full of nail polish for 99 cents each!!!  I went a little nuts, needless to say, but that's where this shimmery guy came from.  The color is Glass Pink by Sinful Colors.  I hadn't heard of the brand before, but so far so good :)

I found these stamps on ebay, and let's just say i'm now obsessed!  They are Faux-nads, but can you guess why I got them?  Yep, this one single Hello Kitty stamp.  But, now I have the luxury of having 8 new stamp plates PLUS a Hello Kitty stamp :)  Here's the link if you want to buy some yourself:  http://cgi.ebay.com/8-Nail-Art-Stamp-Stamping-Image-Template-Free-Gift-U01B-/280509858850?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item414fb0c422

Yep, that's right.  For 8 dollars you get all of those stamping plates plus a free stamper/scraper!  Don't walk, run to this one, it is TOTALLY worth it!

Ok, yes, I do have a Hello Kitty keyboard - don't judge.  It's amazing and I got it at Best Buy.  Psh!

XXOO,
Steph

P.S.  I got a great mint lemonade that matched my Krypto-nails!  Had to take a picture ;)

Krypto-nails!

Hi everyone!

I don't know about you, but this feels like the longest work week ever, and it's only Monday.  Sigh. 

On a lighter note, we've been addicted to Smallville lately.  We're big fans of the show/Superman, and it inspired my latest nail look...Kryptonite nails!  ;)  I think my nails almost always reflect something that's going on with me at the time, so there you have it - when you watch hours upon hours of the saga that is Clark Kent, you get ideas from there!  Dorky, I know, but whatever :)
.

To do this, I had a few steps.  I used this green color I love from Sally Hansen.  It's called 'Hi-Def' nail polish, but I couldn't find the actual name of the polish color.  The lid says 'Hi-Def' as well - maybe the name is the same as the type of polish?  Psh, I  don't know.  It is a fun metallic greenish color.  I also pulled out my go-to 'Sci-fi' by China Glaze for the much necessary silvery addition to my Kryptonite.  When I realized this didn't completely show up on my nails when I stamped this color, I also decided to double-stamp them, and I liked what I came up with!  I did the first stamp with the 'Sci-Fi' color, and then just randomly stamped the same thing on top of that with a white color.  I don't think the pictures do these justice, but they are really fun :)


The stamps I used:  a 'Faux-nad' star stamp I got online (not sure the stamp #, but it came with a set of stamps that I found on ebay!), and then one of the stamps off of the M25 plate.
