Hello Kitty as Iron Man Mani

So not to long ago I purchased some Hello Kitty as the Avengers, water decals from RLR Creations.  I decided to break out the Iron Man ones out for this mani.

I also used essie's Good as Gold and OPI Danke-Shiny Red.

So I started with Good as Gold as the base.  I should have known since it is a metallic to use the aqua base instead of a regular base.  You can see every ridge on my nail.  

Than using the tape, I taped off the areas I wanted my stripes to be and covered with the OPI. 

I really like this red for the mani, it works great with the gold.

So are you going to watch Iron Man 3 this weekend??

Color Club Hologram in Cloud Nine

The rain finally stopped so I went with Color Club hologram in Cloud Nine.

I did use the Nfu Oh Aqua Base.  You can see the residue around the cuticle area.  That's the one negative about using the water base.  But it does make difficult polish apply easier.

Look at the pretty rainbow on my nails.

I went ahead and applied the Hello Kitty as KISS water decals that I picked up from RLR Creations.  Since I went with a colored background, I did have to fill in the white in the decals.

TTFN!
