Hello Kitty Fauxnad

Living in Alberta, Canada, we sometimes have a hard time finding certain polishes or cute nail stuff and ordering online can have shipping costs that double the price. That is why I was so glad when I found this company based out of Edmonton to order nail stuff from. They even had some faux Konad plates. I ordered the Hello Kitty plate, in this version it was plate number B87. I had to test it out ASAP, that is why a whole lot of thought did not go into this manicure. You can also tell I did it in a rush, but I just had to try it out.

I used Orly Fifty-Four as the base colour and it is hardly noticeable irl and in these photos, not at all. A bit disappointing. I stamped the Hello Kitty in Konad special polish pink and used a little bit of Sally Girl's rainbow glitter just in her face. Topped it off with Seche Vite.

As cute as she is, I think this may come off pretty soon, I just feel like I could have thought out the colours and placement a bit better to get something that actually looked nice. Oh well, polish and learn, right?

At last!

I have been looking forward to getting some gel nails over my little nubbins for awhile now. I am so happy! I just love them. My nail lady is a bit scary sometimes but that is part of her charm. Plus she is good at what she does. I am really looking forward to decorating these babies up!

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.
