French again, but not my nails;)

 I did another french manicure yesterday, to a friend of mine. Over 1 coat of Essence Ridge filler I applied 1 coat of Oriflame French manicure Soft pink and then added the french tips with Konad special nail polish in white and m19. Afterwards, I applied another coat of Soft pink and then drew a line above the french line with Vollare nail art polish in silver.  She wanted also to have something stamped on the nails, so I stamped a butterfly on the fingers with m66 and Konad special nail polish in black.  Please do not mind the cuticles as she was in a hurry and said she will clean it at home;) Do you like today's KOTD? Thank you and kisses:*

Improved KOTD

 I had to do something with my yesterday's manicure, it was just too easy, like something was missing, so I decided to print over the french manicure a flower pattern, which caused me a lot of truble because it did not always completely transfered to the nail and I also smeared the image on my pinkie:) I used image plate m40 and Konad special nail polish in black. To add the shine, I applied 1 coat of Konad top coat on all nails, except on my pinkie, where you can see the smeared floral pattern. Yesterday and today is just not my day, right;) Do you like the improved KOTD? Thank you, dear readers and commenters:*

French again KOTD

I recently got new plates from OC Nail Art, the plates I ordered are: m40, m60 and m19, the french plate, which are tried today. Over 1 coat of Nailtek foundation 2 I applied 1 coat of Oriflame French manicure in Soft pink and stamped it with french design and Konad special nail polish in white. Then I applied another coat of Soft pink and 1 coat of Essie g2g. I had to re-do few nails, as I misplaced the french design or hit somewhere with my nails, I think today is just not my konad-day:S. What do you think? Is it boring or just everyday manicure?:)

Mattified KOTD

In one of the Body&Soul's posts I read that Nailtek foundation can be used to mattify nail polishes, of course I had to try it;), so  I present you yesterday's KOTD in matte. I applied Nailtek over 4 nails and over 1 nail I applied LOOKbybipa Matte hardender. Can you tell the difference and find out which nail was mattified with the hardener?;) Thank you for reading and commenting:*



And now 2 pictures for better comparison:)

Violet harlekin KOTD

I named today's konadicure ''Violet harlekin'' as the image reminds me of the harlekin's dress:) It could be also named ''NK Maribor'' manicure, just without the yellow colour (NK Maribor is a football club). Over 1 coat of Nailtek I applied 2 coats of SinfulColors Jasmine jazz, which was again painful to photograph:S. Then I stamped it with image from m60 and Konad special nail polish in violet pearl and to speed the drying process I added 1 coat of Essie g2g. Of course the colours are not as beautiful as in person, but what do you think of KOTD? Thank you for reading and commenting:*

FOTD instead of KOTD ;)

As promised, I present you a recipe for a delicious dish - risotto with leek, zucchini and scampi:P, this is today's FOTD (Food of the day;). I never weigth ingredients for cooking, so please do not ask me how much of each ingredient is in it, I do it according to my intuition;) To speed up the preparation, cook the rice separately and add it to the mixture afterwards.
What you will need:
rice
onions
zucchini
leek
scampi (only the tails)
origano
salt
pepper
garlic
cumin
other spices of your choice
seasoning mixture (if you wish)
Fry sliced oniony until yellow, then add first scampi and leek and afterwards the zucchini and cook until soft, season it with salt, pepper, sliced garlic, cumin, origano and spices of your choice. At the end add cooked rice and let it for about 15 min to mixture the tastes, so the rice can soak the flavour of the previously made mixture. Bon appettit;) Hope I did not forget anything:P If you have questions, just ask me:)
