Matching mani&pedi #3 + an upgrade - which one do you prefer?

Hello, dear readers and followers,

it's been a while since my last post. My BF and I did a short skiing vacation in Austria, Bad Kleinkircheim. It was GREAT:)

Here's another matching pedicure which I did for the OC NAIL ART Facebook contest. If you like the combination please visit it's page and like it, thank you:*

I used China glaze Nasty, Konad special nail polish in Pastel pink and image plates m57 and m80. Then I sealed everything with Konad top coat.

As I couldn't decide I stamped my nails with some flowers too and Konad special white.

What do you think? Which one do you prefer?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

Valentine's mani#3 KOTD with m57&m80

 Hello, dear readers and followers,

a quick post for the Valentine's day, and of course a matching manicure for it.

I decided to go with a french but with a twist. First, I stamped the fish net design from Konad image plate m57 and Konad special nail polish in Pastel pink, then  I painted the tips with China glaze Nasty and again stamped the french design with hearts from m80 and Konad special nail polish in Pastel pink. At the end I sealed it all with 1 coat of Konad special top coat.

What do you think of the combination? Would you wear it for Valentine's day?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a great and polished day:*

When sponge gradient meets konad (m56) - pics heavy

Hello, dear readers and followers,

yesterday I posted a swatch of Alessandro 261 (fully swatched HERE). Then I added gradient manicure on the side of each nail with China glaze Devotion and stamped it with Konad special nail polish in violet pearl and french image plate m56.

What do you think of the end result? Yay or nay?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished start of the week:*

Shiny and matte french NOTD

 Hello, dear readers and followers:)

No long words, just mostly pictures of the manicure ;)

I had to play with Zoya Harlow (matte version and glossy version) a bit more, so I decided to go for matte french tips for which I used the same polish.

Not sure if I like the end result, how about you?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

Glitter red french tips

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

A quick post today - I did not want to change my manicure with Color club Special effects but I wanted to spice it up a bit. So I took my favourite red glitter polish, China glaze Ruby pumps, and made a french manicure out of it. The pics don't do it justice as it looked much better IRL, the effect could be seen much clearly.

Would you wear this combination? What do you think of it?

The D-day and farewell KOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

I haven't forgotten you, hope you haven't forgotten me either;) As you're reading this I'm on my way to take my final exam, the biggest of them all, so keep your fingers crossed for me *hug* After the exam I'm headed right to the seaside to take my long desired vacation, hurray! I'll be back in forthnight with lots of new pictures and manicures, and of course konadicures;)

SO here's the manicure I did for the exam, I did not want to go for bold and vivid colours, so what else to choose than a classic french manicure:) I used over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2 1 coat of Petites color in Fairy pink (a lovely sheer holographic pink shade) which I got in the swap with Elizabeth from Lacquered lizard! After that I used the french pattern on konad im m19 and konad special nail polish in white, then I added another coat of Fairy pink and sealed everything with one coat of INM OutTheDoor topcoat.

What do you think of the manicure? Like it or not? Where are you spending your summer holidays? What polish are you going to wear?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, wishing you nice days, lots of fun and polished nails:*

Completely matte Zulu and let's french it up

Hi, dear readers and followers:)

I showed you Essence Zulu yesterday and a comparison with China glaze Matte magic on 2 nails, but today I've mattified the whole manicure. As I just couldn't stop at this stage I had to add some glossy top coat to  the tips to create a french look, the top coat used is INM OutTheDoor.

I really like the end result, how about you?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

Simple and glittery french KOTD - pics heavy

Hello, dear readers:)

A bit long time no hear from me, I'm having a busy week which is going to continue for a while, I think up till the end of the school in June. So sorry for the lack of posts, but I'm still polishing my nails so no worries, there will be enough pictures of them;)

Today I have for you something very simple and not so elevated:) Just a very simple french with a bit of twist. Over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2 I applied 1 coat of Essie Rock candy which is great for french manicure and then stamped the french tips with konad image plate m19 and Konad special polish in white, and this time I have to say that I'm really satisfied with how I stamped the french tips:) I did not want it to leave that plain but I also did want to add to much, I was just in that kind of a mood:) So I added 1 coat of China glaze Fairy dust to spice it up a bit and then put 1 coat of Poshe Fast drying topcoat over. The pictures could not capture the great effect Fairy dust gives, but still hope you're going to like them:)

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished start of the week:*

Essie Rocky candy french konadicure - quicky

 Good morning:)

A quick post today. There are 3 coats of Essie Rock candy which is a part of Essie holiday collection swatched and reviewed HERE. I think it really looks great for french manicure, 2 coats of it would be just fine too. For the tips I used Konad special nail polish in white and fauxnad P32. No top coat. All pics were taken in lightbox with flash.

Thank you, dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished start the week:*
