China Glaze Dance Baby and Konad M88

Hi readers! Today I have some stamped zebra print tips! Honestly I usually avoid using tip designs because I always have a difficult time centering the image perfectly. I doubt I'm the only one in that boat, but I did my best! Here I used China Glaze's Dance Baby, painted my tips with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White On, and then stamped using Konad M88 in Konad Black. I added some L.A. Colors Art Deco Silver Glitter.

Just like all other Konad plates I have used, the images from Konad M88 came out crisp and picked up easily. The only difficulty I ran into was stamping the images crooked. The image is very curved for a tip design, but I found an easier way to stamp straight. To avoid stamping crooked, I didn't pain the every ends of the image and painted straight across bottom of the U-shape. This way when I picked up the image, it was not so curved and it was easier to center the image on my nails. This image plate is available at Nail Polish Canada along with tons of other Konad stamping products.

Essie Play Date and Konad M77

Hey lovelies! Quick post today. I did this a couple weeks ago when I was swatching Essie's Go Overboard Collection. I used Essie Play Date and stamped using Konad M77 in Konad White. I added some glitter to the center of the flowers using L.A. Colors Art Deco in Silver Glitter. I'm not crazy about purple, but I LOVE this purple!

St. Patrick's Day Mani #2

Happy St. Paddy's Day--and happy 90th birthday to my grandma!  Today I have a pretty cool mani that is inspired by the famous Robin Moses! She is so inspirational and talented! This is my first time drag marbling and I think it came out pretty cool. I used a base of L.A. Girl French Manicure Creme Brulee and then drag marbled using NYX Girls Luscious Green, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On, and L.A. Girl Disco Brites Can U Dig It. I added some gold glitter using L.A. Colors Art Deco Gold Glitter. Then I stamped using BM03 in Konad Apple Green. The transfer of my stamp sucked as do most of my images from the first set of Bundle Monster plates that I own. I thought it ruined my mani, but it would've been a pain to take it off so I left it there.

L.A. Colors Live and BM 221

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there =] To those of you nailphiles who are moms, I hope you got some awesome nail polish as gifts today! I'm currently still wearing my water marbled nails and I want to do my nails again already, but I've been so busy working I haven't had time. This is the mani I had on before I did water marbling. The base color is L.A. Colors Color Craze in Live. It's a beautiful silver color. I actually had to wear the silver by itself to work a few days ago because I got called in to work early and had to pick something that looks okay without any nail art. It felt soo weird, but I still received many compliments on the color. I stamped using BM 221 in Konad black. It was a bit difficult to center this design, so my middle finger nail looks crooked lol. This design kind of reminds me of an optical illusion.
