I saw Suzie mention the stamping plates she got from BF-Beauty, and you all know what a bargain whore I am, so of course I clicked over. I got the 10 piece set and also added a few single plates for $2 each. The quality is about the same as Bundle Monster, and that’s kind [...]
I was actually surprised by how much I liked Who Are You Wearing?. I thought it’d be totally boring, but I thought it was pretty interesting.
It was begging for some Konad though, so I used Color Club High Society (which came out looking totally brown) and Konad plate m60.
I finally did something other than just paint my nails! AND, I did a Konad that wasn’t a full-nail pattern! Shock!
This is my beloved Essie Sag Harbor with stamping in Konad white and Sally Hansen Gray By Gray, and Konad plate m14.
I LOVE this pattern!!!! It’s so simple but I kept admiring my nails all [...]
This was kind of a fail. I wasn’t able to get the stamps straight, and I was running out of steam by the end so I didn’t fix it.
Base is China GLaze Moonlight, and for the stamping I used Wet N Wild Black, Borghese Rubino Red, and Borghese Sonata Berry. There didn’t end [...]
I think this is my favorite type of french manicure. Also my favorite type of Konad, actually! A monochrome french tip with a wallpaper-like Konad pattern on top is just so delicate and pretty to me.
Plate m71, the pinkish base is Revlon Always Sheer Bliss, and the white is Orly Softest White. I [...]
Can reds be neon? Cause I thnk this one is. It’s also a jelly, yay! I got it this weekend at a flea market. The two Essies sitting there all lonely and sad on a dirty table were like a beacon for me. ) Now they have lots of friends in my storage drawers!
The cap [...]
If all the Konad coupon codes are ending, I am not so sure I’ll be as quick to buy plates – $7 per plate for one design I like? Eh.
I am no business genius, either, but I don’t really see why KonadUSA cares if other retailers are complaining? They’re still getting their wholesale price from [...]
Lately I’ve been entirely without inspiration, so this time I resolved to go find some!!! While searching for random things in Google image search, I found this picture:

I love brown and pink together, and I HAVE been wanting to try doing a sort of gradated Konad pattern, so this [...]
For this one I was just playing around, but I ended up really liking the end result.
CND Effects Jade Sparkle, my Lemoncakes franken, China Glaze Treehugger, CND Effects Gold Pearl
I started with3 coats of my Lemoncakes franken. Then I added part of the leopard print pattern from Konad plate m57. This [...]
I haven’t yet decided how I feel about this polish. It’s extrordinarily shimmery, to the point where it starts to look frosty/metallic, which is not a look that I like.
Darn, this first picture was pre-cleanup. I’m keeping it though because I like the way it shows the shimmer.
