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:*

Winter-nail-art-contest-ENTRY

I decided to take part in Winter Nail-Art Contest hosted by Lisa (Dreamka) and her Nail Art World. The manicure I created represents winter landscape in the night or at the dawn, snowflakes are all around the scene, made with konad and with the help of China glaze Fairy dust. First I've painted the nails in China glaze Recycle, then stamped some nails first with fauxnad P16 and konad m12 and Konad special nail polish in white, yellow, red and green or painted the tips with OPI Alpine snow (how appropriate;)), afterwards I added some dots by Essence dotting tool and China glaze Liquid leather and Konad special nail polish in red. At the end I applied 1 coat of China glaze Fairy dust to create the illusion of snowflake chrystals. What do you think of it? Do you like it? Is it too much of everything?:) Thank you dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished day:**

100 followers, a giveaway and a haul!

What more could I ask for:) I've opened my blog on August 20th and since then the number of my followers and readers has grown over 100, wow, I've never imagined that my blog could reach this number. Only you,  my dear followers, commenters and readers enabled this, and my humble contributions of manicures and konadicures. Thank you again and hope you'll read and comment on the blog also in the future:*

GIVEAWAY

As it is almost a custom do give a giveaway when you reach a round number of followers, I won't be an exception;) I will do it to show my appreciation and thanks to all of you who take your time, read, comment on the blog; KONADomania blog would not be the same without you.

What to give and share with you if not Konad supplies, as Konad is the main reason why I started this blog anyway. I've partnered with Kathleen from OC NAIL ART who has kindly agreed to send the winner of this giveaway KONAD C SET, how cool is that:)

 

As she says: The C Kit is also a perfect way to get started and sample what you can do with Konad Stamping Nail Art! With 14 different designs on image disks M2 and M3, you also get three small special stamping polishes (red, white, and blue) along with the required stamper and scraper.

If you haven't tried Konad yet or don't own these two plates, or you're running short on white, red, blue special nail polish, or just out of fun, then take part in this giveaway:)

That is not all, here's my part:) The winner of the giveaway will also receive 2 S-he polishes and 2 Essence polishes of his/her colour choice, you will let me know which colours you prefer and I will get them for you from the regular s-he and essence polish line and ship them. You can check some colours of S-he and Essence on my blog, or other fellow bloggers from Europe (Amarena, Parokeets, Nihrida, and others), as I know these 2 brands are available only here.

Some natural products (Suki, Aubrey, John Masters) (tester size)  I'm a huge fan of.

So you can get:

- KONAD C SET
- 2 S-HE POLISHES of your colour choice
- 2 ESSENCE POLISHES of your colour choice
- TESTER-SIZE NATURAL BEAUTY PRODUCTS (Suki, Aubrey, John Masters)
- some other stuff which I'll add during the giveaway, but most probably some local sweets or so, typical of my country, something like Gorenjka :P
