Blue & Silver

Hi guys!

I had some free time recently and got a little creative. I absolutly love Ski Teal We Drop from the Swiss collection of OPI (my current favorite polish). I was wearing it for the 333th time when I decided to get out my konad stuff and play a little. I wanted to paint a stroke in the middle with OPI – Suzy Says Feng Shui, so I used some painterstape to make it easy. After applying SSFS, I used a full image from konad plate m64. I stamped this image over the SSFS with Millenium from China Glaze. As a “finishing touch” I added two stripes in black on the sides. This is the result:

I think it worked out pretty well! =)

Leopard Konad Manicure

Hello!

Most of you probably know the leopard print from konad plate m57. This print has been an inspiration for many manicures, including many of mine. You could do the classic brown/black one with this print, but it’s much nicer to spice it up a little. I’ve seen mani funky leopard manicures: from a combination of 2 colors up to a multicolor combination. I kept it simple and used a green theme. As a base I used Jade Is the New Black from OPI. I stamped the leopard print from plate m57 on it, and pimped it with some light green dots in Spring Green from Sally Hanson Insta-Dri. Here’s the result:

I really like the result! I’ll probably do this manicure with some other colors in the future. Any of you had a funky leopard manicure yet?

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day!

Bermuda Elf

Hi guys

Here's my latest KOTD! I used China Glaze - Bermuda Breakaway as a base color and stamped with China Glaze - Millenium. Those are probably my 2 most favorite polishes from China Glaze! The combination of the two colors is a win too! I used fauxnad plate B20 for the elf design on my ring fingers and konad plate m64 for the full nail flower design on the other fingers!



Very simple, but pretty I think! Thats the way I like it!

Flowers & Butterfly Konad

Hi guys

I'm showing you guys my recent mani. I started of with a white base. I used the FCC white polish I got on my trip in Ethiopia. I really like this polish because it's very opaque for a white polish. Normally it could get away with two coats, but because I wasn't very careful, I used three coats for this mani.

After a day or so I got a little bored with my nails so I decided to spice them up a little. I used a full nail design from Konad's m73 plate. This design is really one of my favorites, I think it's really pretty. For my ring finger I used a butterfly design from Konad plate m25. I thought the two design went well together. I used Wet n Wilds Black Creme for stamping.



I'm pretty happy with the result. What do you guys think?

Emerald en golden stars

Hi guys,

I was a little bored today and wanted to do my nails. I really love my Emerald Sparkle manicure, so I didn't want to change that. So I decided to refresh them a little with some Konad! I started with stamping the half of a fullnail design from Konad plate m65. I used Hi-Tek from China Glaze to stamp with.



I liked the result, but the open space was bothering me. So I looked at my plates and thought it would look good to ad a star in the other half. This was a design from a fauxnad plate b09. This is the final result:





I'm pretty pleased with the result. I'm still no artist when it comes to stamping, so the designs are still a little messy, my apologies. What do you guys think?

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day,

Pretty Edgy & Konad

Hi everyone!

Today I have a polish from the summer 2010 Essie collection to show you: Pretty Edgy. I was really excited for this color since I'm a sucker for greens and since its not a typical shade to expect from Essie!



I had a hard time capturing the green color on camera, it isn't this dark in irl. (my current camera really sucks, but I'm getting a new one for my birtday in July! Yay!) It's hard to describe what kind of green it is. It absolutly isn't a dupe for Jade is The New Black, which is more blue-based & darker, this one is more yellow-based & brighter.



As much as I like the color, I didn't really like the formula of this one. It was streaky and needed 3 coats. This came as a suprise to me since I've read from other bloggers that they really like the formula (in contrary to the Resort Collection from Essie). Maybe I got a bad one or maybe I wasn't carefully enough, I don't know. But in the end it doesn't matter cause it's so gorgeous! I REALLY recommend this color to everyone who's into green polish.

After a few days I wanted do to something with my nails, but I didn't want to take of Pretty edgy, so I added some konad roses! I used plate m65 and stamped with Wet n Wild - Black creme. I'm still working on my konad-skills so sorry that it doesn't look that great. :D



Thanks for stopping by & have a great weekend!
