shatter

So I recently hit a sale with Zoya and this is one of the colors I picked out. It is a warm gold toned polish as you can see below. It is called Richelle. I really like the color but it is a little sheer, I think I applied 3 coats for this look. I also picked up a bottle of opi shatter from the Katy Perry line. I had been patiently waiting for this one to come out. (ok not so patiently I called ulta at least 3 times waiting for it lol) I have read about it on many blogs and had to try it out for myself.

It only takes seconds to form the crackled look. I snapped this photo above just after applying it to my nail. It only takes one coat and instantly separates to create this look.

At first I love loved the look but then I realized it doesn't come out the same on each nail and it started to bother me. I like the look but it will not look the same on every nail so I probably won't wear it much. I think the effect can be altered by how much polish you put onto the nail and also how much pressure you apply with the brush. Either way it is a cool idea and a fun nail for a crazy day !

If you like this look or have tried it..tell me about it, I would love to hear from you!

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?

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
