The Hello Kitty Supercute Friendship Festival took place July 10-11 at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California. The festival attracted a large crowd of dedicated Hello Kitty fans. In addition to entertainment on two stages, there was a fashion show, photo kiosk, Hello Kitty Sweet Movie Time Theater, Sanrio Friendship Forest, Hello Kitty and Couture Display, Penny Press, Temporary Tattoo station, Hello Kitty Paper Display, and there was plenty of supercute merchandise for sale too.

We attended the Hello Kitty Supercute Friendship Festival on July 11 at 2pm. The event was jam-packed with Hello Kitty fans and tons of activities for adults and kids alike. My kids enjoyed the jumpy house, live entertainment, photo opportunities, fashion show, and art activities. Everything was supercute!

The fashion show showcased Hello Kitty fans and their supercute sense of style. It is amazing how creative people can be! This was the first annual Hello Kitty Supercute Friendship Festival, and it was super fun! We are looking forward to future Hello Kitty events.

Christian Louboutin Scarabee Voilet Blue nail polish review

Pictured: Christian Louboutin Scarabee Violet Blue nail polish. Limited edition, summer nail polish.

Christian Louboutin’s new Scarabee nail polish collection features three new colors, including Violet Blue, which are perfect for summer. Christian Louboutin took his inspiration for this collection from the scarab beetle from Egyptian iconography. The colors reflect in the sun, and look like jewels in the evening. Love that!

Voilet Blue from Christian Louboutin’s Scarabee collection offers an exotic bluish-green hue with warm, golden undertones. The undertones reflect in the sun, and offer a golden-blue sheen which is unique, and ideal for a warm summer day. Love that!

I tested out Christian Louboutin Voilet Blue nail polish from the Scarabee collection with two coats of color, one base coat, and no top coat. The nail polish was very strong and lasted seven days before chipping. Now that I have a few Christian Louboutin nail polish bottles in my collection, I have become accustomed to the long wand applicator brush. Although it is not the easiest nail polish brush to work with, it does a great job applying an even coat of nail polish without creating a mess. Love that!

I am looking forward to testing out another color from Christian Louboutin’s Scarabee nail polish collection. The nail polish is limited edition, and with these fabulous colors, it will sell out fast! I have noticed Christian Louboutin’s nail polish has a good shelf life, and it can go months without being used and still be in perfect condition. This is key when in investing in designer nail polish. I feel good spending money on Christian Louboutin nail polish because I know it is long lasting on my nails, and on my shelf!

Now, I feel like I need a Cleopatra inspired ensemble to match my Christian Louboutin Scarabee Voilet Blue nail polish. After all, Ra has been blessing us with sun, so why not dress accordingly to celebrate! I might have to start with these shoes, and go from there 😉
