Three coats of China Glaze's Something Sweet (pink), four coats of OPI's Alpine Snow (white), and CM Nail Art's pink, black, and yellow for the Hello Kitty face.
I'm a Hello Kitty purist, so I'm disappointed with my execution of the ring finger. The eyes are far too close together. I'm thinking I should have nixed the whiskers (since I never do those well) because I was worried about fitting both the eyes and whiskers along the same line, which is essential to do a proper HK.
I got the flower on eBay (from a store in China) for super cheap as a part of a multi-color set. They're rubbery so they can bend with the nail. When I've used the flowers in the past I would embed them in a few still-wet coats of color. They'd pop off pretty soon after that even though I'd put a top coat on. This time I waited until the pink and a top coat dried, and hours later I placed a patch of top coat where I wanted the flower and placed it on top (and held it down for a few minutes). I put another top coat on after that. Hopefully it stays this time!
