CND stickey base coat is amazing !

So the konadicure I did today was really simple. I started with a blue base coat and stamped with a silver flower image. It is a full nail image so it was super easy, the design is from plate m73. But what I really want to talk about is how great this CND stickey base coat works. I have read many reviews about it in the past and finally gave in a bought a bottle. I was skeptical because of the price (I think I paid 8.50) but it was totally worth it. The CND really has prevented chipping and peeling and has made my manis last longer than they have before. I have used the same polish without the use of the stickey base coat and my nails chipped within 3 days. With the CND stickey my mani lasted for about 8 days!! It was totally worth the 8 bucks.
Sinful colors in midnight blue and China glaze in devotion

Does anyone use this base coat ? and do you like it ?

Til next time.

first piggy for me

My newest design was from plate m64. I always want to use the paisly flowers, but I decided I should try something differnt and use the plaid design. I also used my new piggy polish from ulta. It was my first time using piggy polish and overall I wasn't that impressed by it. I had to use 3 coats just to cover my nail with no bald spots. I don't know if all piggy polishes are like this one but I was dissapointed with the quality. Anyway I made it work with a quick stamp of konad white special polish and the end result came out pretty neat. Hope you like this one!!

cute bottle but that flower decoration kept getting in the way and the polish was not so great. Has anyone else had probems with piggy polish??

Leopard print nails

Hi everyone,
So I got some new china glaze polishes from transdesign.com today and decided to try them out. I was really excited for the metallic colors and they work great with the konad stamps. The China Glaze polishes I got were: Hi-tek a gold metallic color, devotion which is a lavender silver color, and my favorite for audrey that is tiffany blue. I gave my friend Ashley a konad mani and liked it so much I did the same one on myself but in different colors using the konad plate m57 the leopard print. So here it is:

This is Ashleys mani I used:
NYC poleyster pink creme for the base coat
China Glaze Hi-tek for the top design
(Hi-tek is my favorite its from the krome collection and it only takes
one coat and very smooth and non streaky like most metallics.)
Konad top coat
Konad plate m57 leopard design
stamper/scraper

For my nails I used:
Nail tek intensive therapy II
China Glaze in devotion for base
China Glaze in For Audrey for top design
Konad top coat
Konad plate m57 leopard design
stamper/scraper




So how do you like the leopard design?
