Introduction
I ve loved drawing and painting ever since I was a little girl and my dream was to someday work as an artist or in a profession that involved drawing and painting. When I saw nail art for the first time, I knew that s what I wanted to do.
I joined Sanrio in the spring of 2012 to train local staff at the launch of the Hello Kitty Spa in Dubai. Ever since then, I ve been working with Sanrio to create nail art for the many different characters. The best part about nail art is that it can be enjoyed by children and grown-ups alike. With detailed step-by-step instructions, tips, process, and finished shots, nail art design is not nearly as challenging as it may seem. Whether you are a fan yourself, or you re buying this book for the child in your life, you ll find the projects engaging, manageable, and fun!
This book features some of the most popular Sanrio friends including My Melody, Tuxedosam, Keroppi, Chococat, Batz-Maru, and of course, Hello Kitty. I hope this becomes an opportunity for many of you to learn more about Sanrio and our characters.
What I love about nail art is that even though there is a limited space to work with, it makes so many people happy, and it makes me happy to make others happy through nail art. Hello Kitty is the most popular character among my nail art customers, and she s my favorite as well. I was a Hello Kitty fan as a child, and I still continue to be a fan to this day. I hope Hello Kitty continues to bring happiness to the world and that this book brings Sanrio fans closer to the joy that the characters have brought to fans around the world.

A Few Nail Art Tips:
Always use a clear base coat and two coats of color, which will help the design last longer.
It s easier to apply art when the base coat and two coats of color are completely dry. Allow about five minutes per coat to dry.
Especially when painting French tips, I recommend drying the base coat and color coat completely before applying the French tip; otherwise it gets too heavy.
When drawing thin lines, some people prefer brushes with longer hair. I recommend having several point sizes available and testing out what you re comfortable with to achieve the design you want.
I use acrylic paint for some designs and colors that are difficult to find as nail polish. You can typically find these in your local art supply store, or use nail polish in similar colors.
All of these projects are meant to provide a starting point and design suggestions, but feel free to deviate from the instructions and create your own designs. Find what works for you and have fun!
Hello Kitty
Hello Kitty was born on November 1st and she lives in London, England, with her parents and her twin sister, Mimmy. They have lots of friends at school with whom they share many adventures. Her hobbies include traveling, music, reading, eating yummy cookies her sister Mimmy bakes, and best of all, making new friends. As Hello Kitty always says, you can never have too many friends. Her trademark is the red bow she often wears on her left ear.
Hello Kitty Classic

What You ll Need : clear base and top coat; white nail polish; red nail polish; black nail polish or acrylic paint; fine-tipped brush

1. Apply a clear base coat.

2. Starting with your pinky, apply two coats of white polish on every other nail. On the other nails, apply two coats of red polish.

3. On the red nails, use a fine-tipped brush to apply small white dots in a random pattern.

4. On one white nail on each hand, use a fine-tipped brush to paint Hello Kitty s bow on the top right part of the nail. (See this page .)

5. Once the bow has dried (about five minutes), use a fine-tipped brush and black polish or acrylic paint to outline the bow.

6. On the white nails, use a fine-tipped brush to apply red dots to the middle and pinky fingernails, but not to the thumbs, which is where Hello Kitty s face will go.

7. On each thumbnail, use a fine-tipped brush and black polish or acrylic paint to draw two vertical ovals for the eyes and a horizontal oval centered between the eyes for the nose.

8. Using a fine-tipped brush, add the bow on the top right part of the nail. Once the bow has dried (about five minutes), use black polish or acrylic paint to add the outline of the bow and the whiskers.

9. Add a clear top coat to all nails.
