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

the evil black polish

I was in a stamping mood on Tuesday night. I wanted to get some more use out of my so6 plate from konad. I wasn't sure how it would look with black but I think the colors look good together. Started with a black base coat and stamped with china glaze in hi-tek. Hope you like !!

My pinky finger didn't get the whole design but I figured it would look just

as good with just the stripes.

The other design I used was also from plate s06. I used the same colors but a different black polish. It wasn't by choice but lets just say a glass bottle and ceramic tile do not mix, and I ended up with a huge black mess all over my living room ...well that was fun to clean up...NOT !!! lol

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 !!

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?
