Silver&violet cherry blossom stamping with H23 - Valentine perphaps?:)

Hello, dear readers and followers,

how about some stamping over OPI Lincoln park after dark SUEDE (fully swatched HERE).

I chose China glaze Devotion and stamping plate H23 with the cherry blossom branch on it. However, the stamped image didn't want to be photographed:D I took enormous amount of photos to get somewhat decent result.

What do you think of the combination? Would you wear it too? I think it would be great also for Valentine's day, right;)

I have also done some Valentine's manicures and pedicures so be ready to see some of them really soon.

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

OPI Lincoln park after dark SUEDE swatch and NOTD, and yes, I'm still here:)

Hello, dear readers and followers,

I know it has been just too long from my last post, but the work has taken too much of my spare time. I hat to step in for one of my work collegues who wasn't feeling too well, so when I came back from work, I just had no strenght to do anything, not even polish my nails. I have some photos of my unpublished manicures which I plan to post one after another.

Here is one of them, a gorgeous polish I'm sure you all know, namely the OPI Lincoln park after dark SUEDE. There are 2 coats in the pictures, although I think of you're careful one would be just OK. I love the effect, how about you??

Do you own any of the SUEDE polishes? What do you think of them?

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

Sonia Kashuk Smoke and Mirrors swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers,

how are you? It's Wednesday already :)

Today's polish and NOTD is Sonia Kashuk Smoke and Mirrors, a silver foil polish I got in my swap with Maria from R3 Daily. It's super flashy and shiny, it's really a smoky version of silver. There are 2 coats in the pictures over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2. I also added 1 coat of OPI RapiDry top coat.

Do you own any Sonia Kashuk nail polishes? This is my very first polish from this brand, and I'm loving it! What are your experiences? Do you own any similar colours?

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

Just a quick and short post to tell you I'm still here, but deeply stuck into learning:)

First of all, I would like to thank you, my dear followers and readers for sticking with me, giving all your nice comments and encouraging me to polish my nails even more often :P (though at this time I'm a bit out of practice due to learning). KONADomania blog has reached 601 followers thanks to YOU! A giveaway is being prepared, and I'll probably anounce it when I finish my studies and come back from summer vacation as a sign of my gratitude and love for you:)

In the passed days I also received 2 packages from two lovely ladies, Elizabeth and Maria. You, girls ROCK and A BIG THANK YOU! I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened the packages, wow, full of nail polishes and brands I only have heard of before, but now I even own them, YAY! My first Zoyas, Claire Mood polishes, Cover girl lash blast, Sally Hansen, American Apparel, and two brands completely new to me, Petites and Sonia Kashuk.

I'll add the descriptions of the polishes later, pictures should suffice for now:)

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

ps. and I'm off to Venice for a school trip, YAY:) The bus leaves in an hours, hope the weather will be nice too:)

Gradient Pink Cherry Chutney NOTD

Hello, dear readers:)

A quick post today. As I said yesterday I broke my index nail and this manicure is the last one I had made before I had to cut them down:(

For this mani I used my yesterday's NOTD with OPI Black cherry chutney and Oriflame  nail polish in Orchid which I applied with a sponge. There's not topcoat in the pictures, though it looks a bit rough, I should have added one:)

I kind of a like it, but not too much, how about you?

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

OPI Black cherry chutney swatch- NOTD and an accident:(

Hey, dear readers:)

A quick post today. I'm sure you know this beauty I'm showing you today. It's OPI's Black cherry chutney, gorgeous dark shimmery reddish purple which looks almost black indoors, but it gets livelier when being in the sun or under light. It's completely opaque in 2 coats and there's also 1 coat of top coat in the pictures. All the pictures were taken in my lightbox, with artificial light and flash.The shimmer is really difficult to capture with camera, but as I did this manicure a few days before and wore it till yesterday, I wasn't able to do any pictures in the sun, which  would have done this polish justice. Please excuse the tipwear:)

While shopping on Friday, I hit with my finger into a shelf, silly me :S and broken my index finger so badly I did not know what to do, so I ran to a cosmetics store and bought Essence silky patches and their glue, cut my nails down and stick the patch to my broken nail. Before that I made a gradient manicure which I'm going to show you tomorrow:) But from this week on, you'll see a bit shorter nails than usual, well it was only a matter of time before I would cut them down, they were really getting to bother me while practising karate too.

So what do you think of the colour? What do you usually do when you break a nail? Any advice?

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

Merry Midnight konadicure - pastel pink over purple and m78

Hey, dear readers:)

How are you doing on this cloudy day??:) I've got a konadicure to cheer up the day, hope you'll like it;)

I used yesterday's NOTD and Konad special nail polish in pastel pink as well as im m78, one of the new plates I got in my last konad order. To add the shine, I put over all 1 coat of Poshe topcoat.

Only the first pic was taken in the lightbox with artificial light and flash, all others were taken in the sunlight without flash. It was so difficult to capture the pastel pink effect over purple, as it almost looked white. It's more and better visible in real life and it looks great as there's subtle pink shimmer in the Merry midnight.

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

OPI Merry Midnight NOTD and swatch

Hey, good morning dear readers:*

I finally have a bit more spare time:) and here's another swatch to show you. I think there's no need to introduce this polish to you, as you perhaps know it already, it's a part of OPI Holiday wishes collection. A gorgeous dark purple with shimmer and small flakies, no problems with application there's 2 coats in the picture.The pictures were taken in my lightbox with artificial light, please enlarge them to see the flakies and shimmer.

It's my one and only polish that ha got some flakies in it, though they're not super visible as in gosh rainbow and NfuOh which I'm longing for:)

Hope you like the shade:) Which are you wearing today? Do you have Merry Midnight and what do you think of it?

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

My first Color club polishes - haul

Hey, dear readers:) 

I had a busy weekend, we prepared a surprize party and I made a special cake for this occasion. It was in the form of a farm tractor. If you wish I can do a post on it, but it will be picture heavy:) Let me know if you want to see it. I'm still super busy these days, but new posts are coming;)

I also got my very first Color club polishes, wow I'm super excited to try them out. A big thanks goes to Anchek from Rainbows and Blues blog! If it wasn't for her, I would never have gotten these polishes.

Do you own any CC polishes? How are you satisfied with the quality? Do you have any of the shades in the pics?

Lavender purple marble NOTD

Hello, dear readers,

how are you feeling today??

It's been quite a while since I've done a marble manicure, this was my very first one, and today is time to show you my second one:) though I think it's not a success, at least not in my opinion, it looks better in pics than in real life:) My fav is the one on ring finger.

As a base I used yesterday's NOTD with China glaze Agent lavender. For marbling I took Chic 268 and OPI Alpine snow.

What do you think of the marble? Have you tried doing it? What was the result?

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