Hello Kitty!

The 5 year old girl's Hello Kitty birthday party needed a special mani.  But I was also making 2 cakes and doing the planning.  Enter press on nails!  I saw these while collecting goodie bag items and they seemed to be perfect for my needs!  Quick and easy!  ...and QUICK.

Cute lil' Hello Kitty press ons.  I did these this morning.  We just finished up the party and they are coming off of their own accord!  Well I didn't expect much more than that to be honest and I don't need them anymore either!  So the timing if short lived is pretty much right on!

Just used the press ons on my accent ring finger nail.  Painted the others with a base coat and then my newly acquired OPI La Paz-itively Hot - Matte!  I ♥ e-bay! You need at least 3 coats of that btw.  I noticed while taking these pix that I could see streaking and I did one coat with touch-ups.  But I love the matte and hot pink color together!  No top coat here of course or I wouldn't have that matte effect!  -which after all the buttercream frosting my fingers had to deal with, you can barely tell that this is a matte any more!  ha!

Isn't the glitter french mani part of the press on so fun?!  I thought about doing the rest of the nails like that and then I realized I could do that or we could get to our own dang party on time.  So I chose the latter :)  What a fun 5-year-old birthday party we had with you, Hello Kitty!

Addendum the next day:  Succumbing to peer pressure, I now post pictures of the cakes!  Hello Kitty is joined by her bud Chococat!

I've long had a passion for baking.  There's a personal reason I use "frosting" in my blog name!  :)  So my little girl's birthday is the perfect time for me to have fun.

 

Cray Cray rainbow cake inside both!  And Yay!  It turned out really well!  This is Kaitlyn's website for the rainbow cake.  I followed a link from there to Martha Stewart's website to get the recipe Kaitlyn used while doing a demo on the show (great clips from said show too).  This here is a separate site for a spectacular buttercream frosting.  Its a must!!!! The website is phenomenal.  I've also used the marshmallow fondant recipe with great success. (A passion = over sharing ideas with others. lol)
