Konad Lacy French Tips

For this fun, lacy, french manicure I used Julep Jennifer and Konad Special White. This pattern is on Bundle Monster plate 18.

I'll be going out of town starting tomorrow so there won't be any posts for a few days. I'm going to visit my family in another state. Yay! Super excited!!
Have a great weekend. :)

Houndstooth Mani

I did this mani using a bundle monster Faux-Nad plate. For the silver base, I used Orly Dazzle and for the stamping, I used Konad special polish in black. It got a little smudged but I like how it looks overall.

Random Mani!

I was feeling uninspired by my polish so I thought I would use random.org to randomly generate a decision for me. I told it to pick a number between 1 and 106 (which is my total number of polishes) and it came up with the numbers corresponding to Julep Mischa and Circus by Andrea's Choice Somersault. I was curious to see how the Somersault would stamp, so I used Mischa as by main color and selected some flowers to stamp. I think the result is quite nice and reminds me of Hawaii! Thank you, random.org! Perhaps I should do all my mani's this way...

More Polka Dots?!

Yep! More polka dots! Why? Because I love them!!!

For this mani, I started with Man Glaze Matte About You. I used Sally Hansen Bubblegum Pink for stamping with plate BM19.

This reminded me A LOT of a mani I saw another blog, so I wanted to give a shout out to her: chloesnails.blogspot.com.  She was my inspiration for starting to paint my nails to begin with! :)

Nail of the Day!

Here's the mani for today: It started with Orly Luxe and then some Faux-Nad polka dots with Sally Hansen Bubblegum Pink. I've come to discover that most nail polishes can be used for stamping, you just have to figure out which combos they'll show up on.

Hope you like it!

Here's a quick Konad Mani I did using OPI Green-Wich Village and Sally Hansen Bubblegum Pink.

Nail of the Day

Hi everyone! Here's a mani I actually did yesterday--I just forgot to post it! I used China Glaze Dress Me Up from the Hunger Games collection.

Then, I did a little stamping. On my pinkie nail, I did a top coat with Essie Matte About you because I was curious what Dress Me Up would look like matte. I actually like it better than shiny!

 Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day!

Here's another one from the China Glaze Hunger Games Collection. This one is Mahogany Magic and represents District 7. I didn't think I would like the brown on my fingers, but I actually think it suits me!

Then, I decided to try the stamping power of Zoya Yummy. I was pretty impressed! The color is really pretty and I can't wait to swatch it.

Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day!

 I started off with China Glaze Fast Track, from the Hunger Games Collection. It's a light mocha color with gold shimmer.

 Then, of course that was too boring, so I decided to stamp over it. I used Sally Hansen Flirt. I was very impressed with it's stamping power! I think it showed up nicely.

Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day!

St. Patrick's Day Mani, Of Course!

I bet every polish girl out there has green on today!

I wanted to start with Julep Sofia, which I received in my mystery box. This is the first Julep polish I've ever been disappointed with. It's application was weird, it was very translucent, it dried almost matte, and it's butt ugly! Even with three coats, it wouldn't match what it looked like in the bottle. Perhaps I'll attempt layering it someday to see if that makes it usable.

 So, in an effort to de-ugly the mani, I put a triangle of Zoya Shawn at the top. I think it helped a little.

 

Finally, to make sure it was totally St. Patty's day, I did a little Konad stamping. This design was surprisingly hard to make look good. Usually the bigger designs are easier, but this one was a pain. I had to clean the plate in between each stamp to even get this mess! 

 

Overall, I think this mani is a fail!!! Oh well! Those are bound to happen. :)

Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day!

Julep Charlotte and quick mani

Here is a swatch of Julep Charlotte and she sure is pretty! I didn't want to cover her up but I can't stand plain manis so I did a little accent stamping.

Nail of the Day

Here's today's mani using my brand new Julep Emma and Sally Hansen Black Out. I stamped with Bundle Monster BM11.

Here's a quick Konad mani I did tonight using Julep Taylor and Konad Special White

Nail of the Day

I had a quick trip to Sally Beauty and picked up some great colors! I always have a hard time picking colors out... Which is why it love Julep... But I think I faired pretty well on my own! This is some Konad stamping done with Orly Royal Navy and Orly Dazzle.

Royal Navy has some pretty shimmer to it that refused to pick up in these pictures!

I used Konad zebra stripes.
