Gambling With Polish

Hello!!

I am heading to Vegas next week and I have been searching for ideas for polish to wear. It has to be super awesome because I have to be able to look at it for 5 days and not get sick of it. (Could be tough!) I was trying some images out on Konad plate M48, the one with the gambling images. Is it just me, or are these images really hard to use in a nail design so it doesn't look silly?? I tried a few things and this is one of the only things that looked ok. I used the slot machine cherries across my smile line using Konad special polish in Red Wine (which I bought by accident because I thought it was black, woops).
I am thinking this isn't going to cut it. Any ideas ladies? Maybe with some glitter, or rhinestones hmmmm...

Pastel Clouds

Hi!
I went away for the weekend, but I'm back! While I was away I picked up Konad plate M79 and basically rushed home to try it.
The polish is Joe Fresh Style from the Superstore and it's called 'Faded Violet', it's so pretty, don't you think? It was good consistency and opaque after two coats. For some reasons the white and purple with the clouds reminded me of My Little Ponies! hahaha

Formal

Hello There!

I am going to a wedding this weekend and was searching for something that looked fancy and formal when I came across Konaddict's 'Black Tie' look. It was perfect. I would say that this is my version of it, but it's not, this is a blatant copy. Imitation is the best form of flattery, right? Click here to see Konnaddict's originals.
The silver I used for the tips is Avon Mirror Shine in Aluminium, the white and black are both Konad polishes. The tuxedo 'shirt' is from plate M71 (although I don't see why you couldn't use the stripe on M57) and the bows are M59 for all nails except for the pinkies because my nails were too skinny so I used the smaller bow on M56. 

I LOVE it! Thank you, Konaddict!

Dainty

I just received my bundle monster plates and couldn't wait to play around a bit. There are so many neat designs but I settled on this pretty damask design to try out.
I used bundle monster plate BM20 and Konad white special polish. It's so pretty and lacy! I tried out some rainbow glitter on my other hand but it really did not turn out well in photos. I sort of like one hand sparkly and one hand plain. hee hee!

Grace

Today I was going for something dainty and feminine.  I really love the soft pale pink of the Zoya 'Grace'. If I were using it for a french, I would use one coat. For this purpose however I needed 3 coats to make it opaque. Even at one coat, the Grace was creamy and smooth, no streaks! Can you believe this is the only Zoya polish I own? I picked it up at the hairdressers, I wish they had more colours, their selection left a lot to be desired.

The polish I used here is basecoat, 3 coats of Zoya Grace, white Konad polish and black Konad polish. Konad plate M51 with some Seche on top :)

Flintstone Barbie

Hello there!
I have been doing some Konadicures lately and thought it would be a neat idea to keep track of my favourite designs on here and also get some inspiration from fellow bloggers. So here they are!
I used 3 coats of Revlon's 110 - Pink Lingerie and then stamped the leopard print from the Konad plate M57 with the special Konad polish. I would have left it like this but the spots were begging for a little bit of glitter, so they got it. I topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite.
