Black, Silver, & Matte Hello Kitty Nails

I have guest nails today.  These are black and silver Hello Kitty nails.  We started with a base coat then added Wet N Wild’s Black Crème nail polish.  When this was dry, we stamped on Hello Kitty using plate M71 from the Born Pretty Store and Pure Ice Silver Mercedes.  We gave this some time to dry then added a top coat of Hard Candy’s Matte-ly In Love to give the nails a matte finish.

I love how these nails turned out.  The black and silver go good together.  I think the matte finish really pulls everything together.      

Avon Violetta Matte Nail Enamel with L.A. Colors Sassy Sparkle (BCC557)

I have wanted to try Avon's Violetta matte nail enamel for a while now.  I decided to wait to use this polish until I cut my nails because I think it would look best on short nails.  I broke one of my nails, but debated cutting them because the break was below “finger tip length”.  In the end I decided to cut my nails as a nice change.  Violetta is a beautiful dark purple matte polish with a slight pink shimmer to it.  This is a great color that would look good on all nail lengths.  This polish went on easily and dried quickly.  I stared with L.A. Colors base coat-top coat then painted on two coats of Violetta.  

When this was dry, I added one coat of L.A. Colors Sassy Sparkle (BCC557).  I love the way this came out.  The multi-colored glitter in Sassy Sparkle looks very good over Violetta! 

 

Dream On Kitty

I decided to try Sinful Colors Dream On.  This polish looks neon purple in the bottle.  It also goes on that way.  The polish dries quickly.  You can actually see this polish drying because as it dries, the polish turns darker and matte.  This was a nice surprise.  I used two coats of Dream On over L.A. Colors base coat-top coat.

I then decided to stamp on Hello Kitty from a plate I got free from the Born Pretty Store.  I used Wet N Wild’s French White Crème for the stamping.   

I did not add a top coat because I really love the finish Dream On has on its own.  I was not planning on buying this polish, but I am very happy that I did.  I am also very pleased with the Born Pretty Store stamping plate.
