Essie Swing velvet konadicure

What's a manicure without a konad?;) I decided to go for flowers to cheer me up. With China glaze Passion I stamped my yesterday's NOTD with konad image plate m61. Do you like it? Would you wear it?

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

Essie Swing velvet swatch - quicky

Here's the third Essie nail polish I own, there are 2 coats in the pics over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2. Top coat used over it is Essie G2G. First two pics were made under artificial light (first no flash,second flash) and the last with flash. If I were more careful I might just do one coat, but for better depth I added the second coat.  What do you think of the colour? Just another red or does it have something to it?

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

Happy New Year 2010:* and some swatches of CG C-C Courage

Hey,

hope you all had a fun and great jump into New Year 2010! I had mine, we spent the evening in a remote skiiing hut, though there was not much snow:( but we had a great time anyway. Where did you spend New Year's Eve?

Here's a polish which was part of my latest haul, namely the China glaze C-C Courage. I applied 2 coats of it over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2 and 1coat of INM OutTheDoor topcoat. What do you think of the colour? Do you like it or not? All pictures were taken under artificial light, with and without flash, and they are quite colour accurate, the polish is a bit more purple IRL.

I've also made a konadicure I was not able to post previous year due to a virus on my computer, so here it is today:) and it's Christmas related. There are 2 coats of China glaze C-C Courage and the stamp is made with China glaze Millenium and konad image plate m12 and 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor.

Thank you dear readers and commenters, have a great and polished 2010:*

Ruby-silver-diamond konadicure for New Year

Here's a konadicure I am going to wear to celebrate the coming year:) I just could not resist using China glaze Ruby pumps as the base, this is truly an awsome festive polish that keeps you starring at your nails all the time;) There are two coats in the pictures. After painting my nails in ruby red I stamped them with China glaze Millenium and fauxnad image plate P16, which is becoming my new favourite, but I have to tell that I finally received the snowflake image plate from konad, yay! Well that's not the only ip I got, there were 5 more in the package, pics are coming next year, haha;) Then I added clear rhinestones from Essence and applied INM OutTheDoor topcoat.

What do you think of the manicure?? Do you like it? What's your favourite colour for New Year's celebration? What are you going with? Simply polish or some konad or nail art?

Dear readers and commenters, wish you all the BEST in the year to come, and a BIG thank for following, reading and commenting, it really means a lot to me:* Have a happy and polished year, KISSES from

Red&gold gradient konadicure

Hey, you lovelies!

How are you? Ready for party?;) I finally got my computer back, had some viruses and other malware on it:( but now it works great:) Here's a manicure I did about a week or more ago, for the winter theme contest. I used 2 coats of E.L.F. Burgundy over I coat of Nailtek f.2. Then a used a kitchen sponge and China glaze Passion to do the gradient which I stamped again with E.L.F. Burgundy and fauxnad image plate H23. Enlarge the pics to see the detail;)

Hope you're having a great time and lots of fun in New Year, have a nice and polished rest of the old one;)

Festive Red&Silver konadicure

It has been a while since I got his polish, but just did not manage to use it, as it is a really bright red with subtle orange inside. I'm having holidays at the moment, so it's quite the right time to try it out. This polish was a part of Ethno couture LE and is named Tuvalu, there are 2 coats in the pictures over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2. For stamping I chose China glaze Millenium and for the tips Essence Nail art tip painter in silver, which is really a great nail art painter as it's colour is so dense it is opaque with only one coat. The pattern I chose reminds me of ornaments and stars on the Christmas tree:) It can be found on fauxnad plate H23.

What do you think of the konadicure? Yay or nay? Do you like it?

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

The nail art contest I took part is over, and I WON, thanks to you, my lovelies who voted for me, THANK YOU again:* As soon as I get my rewar I'll swatch it and do a post on it.
