Hello Kitty French Tip Manicure

I have been on an unannounced hiatus. Due to my new job, it has kept me out of the blogging scene. However, I assure you that new changes are going to be coming soon to my blog! (hopefully)

In the meantime, I leave you with a simple and quick french tip manicure featuring Hello Kitty! Please bear with me as I was having a little fun with the Fx Camera application on my phone :) (and my camera wasn't working at the time).



I used a dotting tool for the eyes, nose and free-handed the rest.

Let me know what you think! :)

I think I will catch up on some blog reading tomorrow or later should I say. I am tired and ready to sleep.

Good night! :)

Hello Kitty Manicure

I've been away from the computer for awhile. Since I have email access on my mobile device, I seldom use the computer now. :(

Here is a Hello Kitty manicure I did, although she is not my favorite Sanrio character. She is nonetheless a beloved icon.



I know it looks a bit excessive, but this was done at the spur of the moment. Since I use to work for Sanrio, I figured such a gawdy look would be appropriate for a Hello Kitty manicure (pink, purple and glitter/sparkles-I kinda thought about shiny stickers). I didn't use red because it is a traditional Hello Kitty color and I wanted to do something different.

The purple I used was from Color Club's Wild at Heart . The glitter polish was used from OPI's Burlesque Collection; I used Show it & Glow it! and Sparkle-icious. The pink was nail art paint I bought from Sally's Beauty Supply, used for the stripes and bows. The black and white paint I used for the Hello Kitty face was acrylic craft paint.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to take a photo of the other hand before I took the nail design off. It was less excessive, more plain and much nicer. I had to go to a wedding so I figured it wouldn't be appropriate to wear to a wedding.

Tell me what you think! :)

Easter + weekend in San Diego

If you haven't noticed, I added a new banner to my blog. I got these pictures from one of my trips to San Fransisco. I decided to use my pictures from SF, since it is my favorite city after all. Then again, it is currently in the works of reconstruction, nothing too drastic.

I know it has been a while since I've last posted, but I have been busy now that school has started. I'm taking some time to sneak in a post of my fun weekend in San Diego.

<3 Enjoy.

One of thee most awesome restaurants I've been to: HASH HOUSEEEE! <3


Who can resist this giant delicious blueberry pecan pancake? MMMMM


I totally forgot what this was called but it was super good.

Now for the Easter eggs!

Hello Kitty Pocket Mirror

Here is another project that I completed within these past couple of days. I made it for my lovely friend, Katherine. I was surprised at how accurate it came out to be. I am seriously considering starting my own online shop of craft goods after I graduate. :)

Enjoy <3

Materials: Felt, hot glue gun, fabric glue

Hello Kitty Lanyards

This is also another project that I had made awhile ago but also never took the time to post.

I was walking around the "dollar section" of Target and found these adorable hello kitty ribbons for only $1! So I figured they might come in handy someday so I bought them anyway. Then I came up with an idea to use the ribbons and make into something useful like lanyards! I purchased these canvas looking belts from JoAnn's and came up with what you see in the photos below.





Materials used: hello kitty ribbons (any kind of decorative ribbon will do), craft glue (to reinforce), sewing machine, and key rings.

I handed these out to close friends and relatives as little fun gifts.

Enjoy! <3
