I got a bunch of emails and comments regarding how I did this cake.
It is so much more simple than you think - Wilton makes a Hello Kitty Cake Pan.
You bake the cake, and you frost it following instructions that come with the pan.
You can buy the pan here on amazon for less than $14 or you can buy it in craft stores or baking specialty stores.
I got mine in Canada at a Bulk Barn for $16.
It is really easy to do but does take patience. Good luck to those of you who try it!
Now, nails!
First of all - I apologize for the state of my cuticles in these photos. I did these nails very quickly this morning before leaving for university and I clearly did not take the time to make sure I removed all traces of yesterday's neon fuchsia!
Just pretend you can't see it :)
Today's theme is Delicate Print which is a bit of a strange description, I guess it could be all sorts of things but I decided to go with a lacey print from a Konad plate.
I started with 2 coats of Zoya - Caitlin which is a beautiful dusty gray with blue-purple tones. Sometimes it looks purpley, sometimes it looks bluey. I don't know what to really call it!
(I forgot to take a picture of this before I stamped my left hand so you get an awkward right hand photo!)
Bam! Delicate print. Pretty lacey image from Konad m71, stamped using a Nail Art Diva stamping polish called Ice Blue.
As you can see, depending on the angle, the stamping is either very subtle or very bright and shimmery.
I love this sort of stamping combo.
I really like this image, and I want to use it again when this challenge is over so I can wear it for more than one day! Haha.
I hope I can complete the challenge - my schoolwork this semester seems to be more intense than ever, so I'm really hoping to be able to keep up with doing my nails/posting every day, but I apologize in advance if I end up having to slow down my posting routine.
I love the design! Its sooo subtle! Happy Late Birthday! I love your Hello Kitty cake! Im so crazy over Hello Kitty. I just got Hello Kitty Stickers in the mail today!
