do re me fa so la te do ... music note nails !!!

I was a little skeptical to try this design but it ended up coming out alright and in turn gots lots of compliments at school today. It is a music print with notes and a keyboard. I also bought this new stuff from CND stickey-anchoring base coat. I wasn't sure if it would really work but after reading many reviews I gave in and bought it. I am so glad I did because it works great. It really sets the polish and I haven't had chipping in almost a week which is amazing for my nails. So if your looking for something to hold your polish, I would try and find this to add to your collection of polishes. For my nails I started with a basic white polish from Confetti in wedding white, then stamped with LA girl Flare in black, and finished with konads top coat. It was a little tricky lining up the keyboards and some of them came out a little crooked, but overall it wasn't too noticable so I just left them as is. Hope you love my new mani's and have a great weekend everyone!!

nails with a little pink bling

Another design I fell in love with is this strange design that is from konad plate s6. I also bought some rhinestones from ebay and had to try them out to see how they look and how long they last. I started with my china glaze in devotion, which I love because it is a one coater. Then the design is stamped with the konad polish in hot pink. Then for some bling I placed a small pink rhinestone right in the middle of each nail. I didn't want to much but just enough to make it stand out. I was suprised that with just a little bit of top coat the rhinestones outlasted the polish. For some reason the china glaze polish I love doesn't last very long. After about 3 days it was chipping pretty noticably, so I came to remove my polish and the rhinestones were stuck to my nails. So I guess that answered my question of how long the rhinestones stay...and its forever. I had to scrape them off with my cuticle pusher. So anyway heres my nails hope you like em !!

roses are red ...

So this is the latest with my nails... I'm still trying out my new plates and loving every design. This is a pretty rose design I found, and I decided to try different colors instead of one solid color for the roses. Its simple to do and looks great. I used a red polish and 2 pink polishes to achieve this look. In no particular order I just dabbed the different polishes onto the plate and scraped it across and ended up with this different color roses for a cute nail. I also used a white polish as a base and put a pearly finish ontop to make it glisten in the light. This first picture was taken outside and the second was inside.

This is done using plate m65. The polishes I used are confetti in wedding white for the base. White pearl from sation for the top base coat. Then for the roses I used a mixture of NYC broaway burgandy frost, konad hot pink, and NYC poleyester pink creme. And I finished it off with konad top coat.

new konad plate -flower design :)

Hi everyone,
I got a new plate in today, I was very excited it is the konad plate m73. It has 5 different designs on it. I tried them all out and this one is my favorite. I will be posting more pictures of the other designs soon but just this one for today. So I used my china glaze in hi-tek for the background color and stamped with broadway burgandy frost from nyc. I was suprised how good the nyc brand stamped onto my nail because it is a rather cheap polish, but it worked perfectly with the konad set. Hope you like it, tell me what you think?
