Marine

Hi,

Today I'll present you a new nail polish brand called piCture pOlish.

They have very nice and pigmented colors.

The first one I'll show you is Marine. Two coats, without any top coat:

I applied two coats of Deborah Lippmann - Boom Boom Pow on the entire nail for the thumb and the ring finger, and on tips for the rest of the nails.

I stamped on it the net from m57 and from 45 for the tips with special black, then

I stamped the flowers from 57 with special white.

I applied some gold rhinestones in the middle of the flowers.

Here's what I got:

New Year's Eve manicure with Incoco and Konad

Hi!
Here's the manicure I'm going to wear this New Year's Eve:

How I did this?

Firstly, I applied some Incoco nail warps. This color is called Copper Rouge.

In a pack like this you will find 14 warps, a nail file, nail polish removal

and of course, instructions.

This is how they look like on nails:

This color is so sparkly, i just love it!

After applying them, I stamped a design from m45 image plate.

Between the 2 lines, I put some silver steel balls.

I top coated with Zoya top coat.

What do you think?

What manicure are you going to wear for New Year's Eve?

You can buy Incoco nail warps from their online store, for $7.99.

If you are from Romania, you can buy the image plates from Konad Nail Romania.

World Cup Nails

Hello Konaddicts,
I am not actually "in the know" when it comes to soccer, but my husband is.  So, I have seen a bit of World Cup here on the TV.  I felt inspired to do something for the occasion.

                                                                                                

How to create it.  (sorry I forgot to create a supplies list pics, but the plate numbers are listed below in the tag)

Ill be brief tonight, its late, and I want to catch up with the hubbs.

You will need Konad special polishes red, white, blue, & black.  Konad image plates m3, m45,m49,m52,m56 or you can use m52 with just the soccer image.

                                                                                                            

1) paint accent nails and tips, let dry.

 2) Stamp in white to act as a guide of where to paint the white dot, I wanted a 2 toned image.  After, I stamped over it in the 2nd color, black 

3) continue stamping the remaining soccerballs

4) stamp black check over tips, and use stars or "world cup" text here and there!

Thanks for reading.....  Till your next fix.....            

Night

m45 Black & White

I have only ever done this plate design once, but i definitely like it. It could be done 2X in different colors, slightly offset to make it look like plaid. I plan on trying this technique for Christmas.

Here's what you will need: m20, m45, a sheer blush ( I used china glaze here, but i have added more red to it so it has a more blushed color) any white for the french tip, SP in black, and a polish pen stripe brush for the aqua line & dots on flower.

Here's how to do it:

1. Polish your tips white and stamp tip design m45 over the white.

2. Clean the smile line to wipe off any extra white. Paint sheer blush on the bottom 1/2 of your nail.

***** If you have a steady hand, and can paint a french tip freehand WITHOUT having to clean up the smile line, then go ahead and start with the sheer, then paint the tips, and follow with the stamp....actually, because you will be painting the stripe over the smile area, you don't have to be perfect. I originally planned on just doing the tips, that's why I did it in this particular order. The stripe was an afterthought.

4. Stamp m20 flowers on your thumb

5.Finally use the polish pen/skinny brush to paint a line along your smile. finish with dotting the center of your flowers with a co-ordinating color or the same color.
