Black & Pink & Konad

Hi!

Today I'll show my new konadicure.

The base color used is Flormar no 399. It's a shiney black with sparkly particles.

After, I applied a dark pink polish using a sponge.

The image plate used is Konad m73.

Finaly, I applied the Konad Top Coat. I just love how this top coat looks like on the nails.

Can you see that shine? It's awesome!

So here's what I got

PS. I'm going to update my blogroll. So if you have me in yours and you'd like me to have you in mine too, just comment here telling me that.

Hope you'll all have a nice day!

Thanks so much for passing by today.

Water Marbling 101

Several months ago, my live-in, filmmaker husband wanted to test out his new camera.  I suggested he help me film a tutorial video on water marbling.  He lovingly obliged and here is the final product as well as a little pic of the final look.  I filmed some other excerpts of trouble shooting and other design techniques, but as I learned "post production is the longest part of the film making process."  So I can't tell you when you'll get access to those things, but I hope they will be finished.

Colors used were China Glaze White on White for the base coat color.  Marble colors were Zoya Jolene, Charla, Yasmeen.  Seche Vite was used for the top coat.

A two colored nail design and tutorial

Hi!

Today I'm going to show you a new design I made and how you can do this.

(not my nails in the following pictures)

First you have to paint your nails with a bright color.

I chose a lilac color (Luxe Lavander from Avon)

Wait ultil the base color is dry. Take a darker nail polish and paint half nail diagonal like

in the picture. The brick nail polish is no.51 from Kallos.

Now go to your Konad stamping kit. Use any tiny design. I used a flowery design from plate m26

Then take a black polish for nail art (or a regulary polish applied with a nail art brush)

and paint a thin line between the lighter and darker colors.

You should get something like this:

Wait about 10 minutes and apply the Konad top coat. If you don't have this, use a good top coat. You don't want your design to spoil.

So, voila! Here it is.

Hope you like it and if you gonna try this, please don't hesitate to show me!

Thanks for reading and have a nice Saturday evening!

The Girl Who Was On Fire

I might be behind, but I am starting the book trilogy Hunger Games.  I read the first book tonight and as soon as I read that Katniss had her nails painted as fire in preparation for the games, I knew I had to recreate for the blog.  This book is amazing.  My stomach is in knots and I have been even more convinced that I would never do good as a soldier or in war.  To hunt and be hunted sounds absolutely horrible.  Either way, I am hooked.  I am on fire for these books and am excited to start the next one as soon as it lands in my hands!

I first painted my nails with two coats of China Glaze Jamaican' Out.  Then I layered the following colors for the flames: Sun Worshipper, and Solar Power.  Black accent was So Easy Stripe Rite.  Over the whole look I sponged In Awe Of Amber.  I used two coats of Seche Vite for extra shine.
