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 :)

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! :)
