Hello Kitty Homemade Decal and Stamping

Hi There

Today I am doing another decal manicure but this time I have chosen to do a Hello Kitty inspired manicure (don't know how it came about as was planning on a Mickey mouse mani)

I started with my base coat Sally Hansen Advanced Hard as Nails and then 2 coats of Barry M's Gelly Hi Shine polish in Prickly Pear 

 I then took a thick piece of plastic and painted 2 squares using 2 coats of base coat onto it. When dry I took my YH810 plate

 I used the Hello Kitty image and stamped in Licorice by Essie

I stamped this onto the  topcoat when it was dry. I then coloured the decal in using W7 yellow polish number 19 (from the UV collection) for her nose and the red for her bow is golden rose in red number 48(sorry no name of the colour on the bottle). I then used Sinful Colors in Snow Me White to colour in the rest of the image.

I know it looks a mess but remember that this is the back of the image. Whilst the decal was drying i stamped my thumb, index, middle and little fingers with spots 

Using the M79 plate and Claire's Accessories stamping polish in white

Unfortunately the stamp didn't work very well and only partially transferred the spots so I had to go over them with a dotting tool. By now the decal was dry so I put a layer of base coat on my ring finger and peeled the decal off the plastic using tweezers and placed it on my ring finger and smoothed the image out over my nail to make sure that there were no creases.

 I then added dots using my dotting tool to the bottom of the nail to make the design blend in with the other nails and I added a red decal in the middle of the bow to add a bit of something shiny

This is the finished design

What do you think
