It was a dark and snowy evening...

I felt like doing some winter/Christmas inspired stamping and this is what I came up with!  I used a base of butterLONDON Royal Navy, then stamped with Konad special white and Sally Hansen Silvivor using BM14.  One coat of SV to seal everything off.

I really, really like it.  I got a ton of compliments on it at work today, too :)  I was going to leave it with just the white snowflakes, but it didn't look finished, which is why I added the silver ones.  It reminds me of a snowy winter night.

What do you guys think?

Thanks for reading!

Paisley and Periwinkle!

This is my latest Konadicure.  I used two coats of my current fave: ChG Secret Peri-Winkle and stamped it with M60 and Wet'n'Wild Black Creme.  First of all, I just want to let all of you know how awesome Black Creme is for stamping.  Def the best black for stamping that I have (I don't have special black).  Topped it all off with a coat of SV.

I'm completely obsessed with this mani.  Can't stop staring at it!  I've gotten quite a few compliments on it today, as well :)

Thank you guys for looking! <3

Sparkly Argyle :)

I decided to konad my last manicure!  I really love the way it turned out:

I used a black shimmer polish by sinful colors for the stamp.  I stamped with m60 (which I'm obsessed with).  I really like that the pattern has some shimmer in it while the base color is a cream.  I'm really diggin this mani!

Let me know what you think :D

Sally Hansen-Sonic Bloom

Today's notd is Sonic Bloom by Sally Hansen Insta-Dry.  I have been somewhat apprehensive to wear this polish for a while because it is so bright!  I would consider this a very bright coral red.  Bordering a neon red, but it's definitely not a neon finish.  After wearing this polish for a couple of days, I have really grown to like it!  It's a red that is better suited for summer as it is definitely fun and bright!

I felt that this color was asking for a konad! Now I don't want to take this polish off!!!
What do you think??

Orly-Rage

 Orly Rage!  Is this not super duper beautiful?  This color is a metallic rose gold with reflects galore!  I decided to add a pretty little flower to my ring finger :)

Indoor, no flash

Indoor, flash

This color is ridiculously hard to capture on camera because of its very metallic quality, but trust me when I say it is beautiful!  The formula is gorgeous, perfect application in 2 coats.

I think I'm in love!

nail of the day-konad

Today's nail of the day is a twist on the classic french manicure.  I used OPI's In the Spot Light Pink as my base color, the added a white french tip using a guide sticker.  Without removing the sticker, I stamped m60 over the white tip using Sketch-y by Finger Paints.  After removing the sticker I finished it off with Seche Vite.

I really, really loved how this turned out.  It's so cute!  I love the idea of stamping a design over a french tip.  It gives a classic nail a bit of a twist.  It makes it unusual enough to not be too boring :)

On a side note, I experimented with water marbling today.  Hopefully I'll have some pictures up tomorrow :)

nail art of the day and new favorite polish!!

I have recently been IN LOVE with OPI's Cozu-Melted in the Sun from the OPI Mexico Collection.  I saw it in my local ULTA recently, and couldn't stop coming back to it.  This is the most amazing, warm, shimmery, coppery-rose color.  It has tons of micro glitter in it and I think it would work well for most skin tones.  I have worn it both plain and with nail art over it.  

In these photos, I used Cozu-Melted in the Sun as a base color (2 coats) with konad m60 stamped over it in black.

I seriously feel like I'll never find a color that I love more than this beauty.  It's neutral, but still has some kick to it.  It's a nude, but oh so much more.  I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a shimmery, nude color that's understated, but wildly unique.

Konad Love

I've just recently gotten into a lot of nail art and let me tell you, Konad is the way to go.  I just received my little starter kit today, and I am very, very impressed.  My kit came with plate m2, a stamper, a scraper, and a little bottle of the "special" nail polish in white.  Of course, I couldn't wait to try it out, and this is the result:

I used OPI's In The Spot-Light Pink from the new Femme de Cirque collection as my base color.  I added a black french tip and then used Konad plate m2 to stamp the white floral design over the edge of the french tip.  It's not perfect, but I like the way it came out.  It's simple, but also elegant enough to catch the eye.

I have a feeling I'll be getting a lot of use out of my Konad set! :)
