Hello Kitty Nails, finally!

So I finally decided to upload all the pictures on my camera, and wow there were a lot!!
Today I have the nails I did with my free Hello Kitty Plate from Born Pretty. I totally love Born Pretty! Their shipping does take a while, but their customer service is great and the fact that they have free giveaways all the time is amazing! I currently have some free Hello Kitty stickers en route to me somewhere. These aren't all that different from all the others I have seen, but I wanted to show them anyway. ^_^

Ignore the bottle of lotion in my hand hah

I filled in the bow with a hot pink nail art pen and added a cute pink rhinestone. I stamped a blue kitty on my thumb, but you couldn't really see it against the dark purple. 

My curtains are a little crazy hot pink

The rhinestones are from a wheel I bought from 88Beauty

I LOVE this Hello Kitty stamp soooo much, I almost can't believe I got it for free! It stamps so well, and is too frickin cute! ha I think that Born Pretty may still be giving away 10 free plates a day, so if you're lucky you may be able to still snag a free one. Plus they are always having a new free giveaway, so keep your eyes peeled!

What I used:
Color: China Glaze Virtual Violet
Tips: China Glaze Something Sweet
Stamp: Konad Special White
Nail Art: Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Hot Pink
T/C: Seche Vite

Recycled Leopard

Being a broke, lazy (read:busy) college student I don't always have the time, or patience to do a new mani every day (although believe me I'd love to!), though my short attention span leaves me bored of a mani after about a day. What's a girl to do? 

Recycle! 

As you'll see, I am a big fan of mani recycling. Maybe this is "cheating" to post these on my blog, but hopefully it may give you guys some ideas on how to change up a mani without completely changing a mani.

I'm a serious animal print freak... fair warning.

I really love the little pop of blue with the "spots"

Here's what the City Color looks like,
on my lovely windowsill  

Pretty self explanatory I think.. I added some blue "spots" with City Color "Light Blue" (ehhh.. there's no name to be found on the bottle so that's what I'm calling it), using my dotting tool. 


















Here's the details for the original mani: http://seriouspolishjunkie.blogspot.com/2011/03/purple-holo-and-leopard.html
